Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Gazeye
started grow question 3y ago
Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

Flip light schedule
1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. Thoughts

Колличество света
Подскажите., почему во всех гайдах и пособиях пищут что автоцветам нужно на цветении 500mmol/cm2 а фотопиродным 700, в то время как реально под солнечным светом растение в ауте получает 1400-1600. Почему не дать столько же света растениям в индоре?

Time lapse under HID lighting
How do people do time lapse with hid lighting? Do I need to set timers to turn off hid, turn on fluorescent and then take the picture? Is there a filter I could buy that eliminates the horizontal scanning lines?

Best Lamps
Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

Set Up Tent
How should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?

Is this light good enough?
Will this be enough for 2 auto flower plants in a grow tent? Or will it work for one? The tent is 20x35x64. Or should I get another one or a different light altogether? Thanks!!

From 24h to 18/6h during flowering ok (autoflower)?
Royal AK47 Autoflower: Changing from a 24h light cycle (since beginning) to 18/6h when already flowering - no problem or not recommended? The temp is a bit too high (~30*C) I think.
