Mr_Incognitoanswered grow question 2 years ago
That’s cool! You may even lower the lamp to get 680 ppfd, that makes 44 DLI in 18 hrs. But since plants are relatively small and short you can go a bit less, like 600 ppfd.

It’s not bad but where are you getting these numbers? I press for close to 850-1000 umols/m2/sec PPFD in 12 hour photoperiod flower cycle.
These numbers are ok for 18 hr veg cycle. Familiarize yourself with DLI (daily light integral) if you have not already.

regarding the light spectrum ratio. what is the ideal light spectrum for both the vegetative and flowering phases?
Do you use 3500K lights during the vegetative stage, or only use cold white lights at 6000K? do you then switch in flower to 3500K lights along with 370-780nm?Setup. Lighting

Wrong power cable in my LED light: still light when switched down off.Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!Week 16

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlingsSeeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?Week 4

New white pistils close to harvestingHello,
I have new pistils that appeared a few days ago only on the top buds. I planned on harvesting in 7 to 10 days max
May look like foxtailing or not... Temps is 23°C so may not be heat stress. PPFD is about 600 so may not be light stress either
Is it normal? What could it be?13 days ago

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏
2 main reasons come to mind after googling:
1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome.
2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.9 days ago

Does anyone have experience with taking a harvest then putting the plant back into veg for 4-6 weeks then flowering again? I've read yield can be effected. Anyone have first hand experience, if so, was it worth it or not? Love to hear some feedback was thinking of giving it a go.Other. Other
