Led light for a small seedling / early veg space 80x40x80cm
NonameGrowDudestarted grow question 3y ago
The plants to use the space to start seeds and veg them little bit until I transplant to final pot in a flower tent.
I don't have much height so is looking for a light that the plants can be close to.
Any suggestion for led or should I just go with t5?

Vegging requires less light. So you don't need a strong light for just a vegging area. I don't have a recommendation beyond something with a dimmer. Something with a cooler or more blue spectrum. Red is not needed a lot with just vegging

Personal choice for that space would be 2 x SF1000.
Gives you flexibility to adjust light intensity and good enough to pull 10 oz in flower.

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?!?Buds. Other

Light Distance - 3 plants are taller than the others...Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM ratherWeek 5

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7

Lamp to plant distance: is 40cm enough during flowering phase?Started with 70cm (afraid to "burn" the leaves), but moved it down to 40cm after checking other grow diaries for auto seeds.
Should we keep the lamp ~25-40cm away from the plant from now on?
*Lamp is a 300W LED panel (full spectrum)Week 7
