is the 'greenfingers led grow light 2000w full spectrum' not very good compared to others?
chroniconstarted grow question 3y ago
if you don't know the light you can google but there aren't any reviews i can find, compared to say spider farmer 4000 (or others) is it much worse or a little worse, etc? if that much worse when i can afford it someday should i buy another one and count this purchase as a loss?

that LED has a bit of old technology, after that the COB LEDs came out and then these boards. The efficiency has increased a lot, and a lamp with Samsung LM301B or similar has a much higher final yield. COB LEDs are a bit more expensive, but in terms of yield, they are equivalent to Samsung diodes, though they need to be kept further away using one or more light points, while the board covers the entire box at any height. I think with a lamp like that, I'm not saying it will double the yield, but you can get pretty close.

thanks all, Ezzjaybruh it says 2000w but utilizes 395w and they say is equivalent to a 1000hps, all companies do this though

Amazon says it has Epistar LED diodes, but does not say which model of diode though which is suspicious. Even an mediocre light spectrum will grow good weed. If you are growing by seed, then there will be genetic variation for each seed from the same strain - especially autoflowers. In most cases, the trait you are seeing is genetic and not light induced.

Yea It’s sub par my friend.. that’s a blurple light and it’s not really 2000w. I’d compare that to like a 150w quantum board maybe. Inefficient light and underpowered

Duda sobre HPS y HQI en espacio pequeño y de maderaHey friends, I'm new to this growing thing. I have a space like this: Height - 1.60m; Depth - 0.45m; Width - 0.48m. That's part of the inside of my closet in my room, so it's made of wood. Can I set up an HPS and HQI lamp in this space? And what about the heat?Setup. Lighting

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! ThanksWeek 7

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.Setup. Lighting

Swapping day/night light cycle during flowerDay 22 of flower. Lights are on during the day, 8am-to-8pm but we need to switch to 8pm-to-8am to use the colder night air to cool our lights without using a/c. Would it negatively affect the plants at this point in flower to give them 24hrs dark & completely swap light cycle?

Slow indoor seedling growth4 days since sprout, issues with light timer, seedlings ended up getting 48 hrs of light after they sprouted, and this AM I found that the timer did not turn the light back on so it got 11 hours of dark last night instead of 6. Could this be detrimental to seedling?

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8
