answered grow question 4y ago
i would recomend maybe 25% and keep it 12" at seedling to keep from stretching then up it 50-75% @ 18" veg and then crank it to 100% for flower and use the photone app or get a par meter (if you have the money) to check ppfd and adjust height

Hey all, Currently I running a 300 W Led light the Lumatek Attis, but I got another tent that I don't use right now. So I wanted to buy another Light, the 165 W San light. Is this enough for 3 Lady's or should I just go on with 2?

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?

Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?
Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower. I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good 🤷♂️🏼

Boost buddy
Now with the rising temperatures, I'm reaching 31-34°C in the indoor. I use Boost Buddy, a CO2 generator through the decomposition of bacteria. Is that enough, or should I modify the indoor in some way to avoid reaching those temperatures? Thanks

Floodlight for bloom supplement
I have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?
One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?
