Light intensity question
Jmaninthemidde420started grow question 3y ago
Is it safe to increase light intensity? The seedlings are 12 days since popped out of soil and is currently at 50% power on a 500 watt+3% power light

Pal. At 450w. You shoulda be running at 25% for the 1st week. You shouldn't have to exceed 50% for your whole veg with such a high powered light. So I'd say she's at a right setting now.
No need to use more watts that's not needed.
Good luck

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?Setup. Lighting

Mars hydro 600 lights not going fully outHi everyone
I'm having issues with my LED mars hydro 600w when the timer is going to 'off' the lights are still very dim, with the plant being a photo period I'm worried the dimmed lights won't let the plant sleep and shock it or keep it in veg. Has anyone had this issue?Setup. Lighting

Bud too close to the lightHi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?4y ago

Need to upgrade grow lightI'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?Week 4
