Bandit600

Hi liebe Grower, Was ist das beste Lichtplan für Photoperioden wenn man sie von 18/6 auf 12/12 , 13/11 oder 11/13 umstellt. Danke 👍

18/6 then 12/12.......there is no other. Sometimes if you have a plant with heavy Sativa genetics, you can go to 11/13 to help them finish more decisively and prevent continual re-flowering at the end (last 2-3 weeks).

Once your happy with the plant size in vegetation, you should just flip straight to 12/12. That’s the most common practice for flowering.

Ist mehr Licht besser!!!!
Hi liebe Grower Kann mir jemand sagen, ob das stimmt wenn man mehr Licht bzw Watt hat, das die Damen schneller wachsen und eher fertig sind bei Auto Samen. Überlege nämlich ob ich mir eine 2 Lampe zulege soll. Danke im voraus 😉

Supplemental light for flowering?
I have a 300w quantum board LED. Its a Mars Hydro TSW 2000. Should I add more light of a different type for flowering or should I just run the LED alone? I've heard people mention the UV-B lights.

Irregular light schedule.
I am thinking about giving her 24h lights a few days a week and then go back to 18h. Just to give her a boost. Will this irregular light schedule harm her? My first thought is that it doesn’t matter much since she is an auto, however I know that plants love balanced environments.

Which New LED Light For 4x4 Tent?
Okay here we go. Lots of old information on these, so I researched carefully to catch all new information. Which do you prefer and why? Mars Hydro FC4800 or Spider Farmer SE5000. For a 4x4 tent. Thank you all!

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

Best Lamps
Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

Power and distance
Ok so...... This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question. 1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned? 2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos. Many thanks

Nanners?
Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!

How do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

Autoflower 24hrs of light?
AUTOFLOWER - I checked on my seedlings this morning, and the temp in the tent dropped to 9 degrees celsius during the night. My light puts off a bit of heat. Am I better to run the light 24hrs and maintain a warmer temp, or give them a few hrs of darkness and risk dropping temp?
