Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Gazeyestarted grow question 4y 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?

2x2x4 yield expectations?I want to use a 2x2x4 tent, growing (Gorilla Cookies) autos in Nature Living super soil mixed with Coco Loco. I want to yield just a few high quality ounces. Is this easily achievable with one 3 gallon pot under a SF-1000? Should I be concerned with any plant height issues?Setup. Strain · Autoflowering

Different lightsHello people, hope you all doing fine.
So, I have 3 different light models, I´ve been using them individually for plants.
I use only autos and adjust the light distance individually.
Should I place all the lights in the roof togheter so all plants get the same amount of light?Setup. Lighting

Can you use a 450 watt white led light to start seedlings? If so what distance should the light be and when should I make it closer? The reason I am asking this is because I don’t like transplanting autos as they are fragile to transplanting from what I’ve looked up

Lights too close?While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LEDSanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !

Grow Light for 3x3 tentLooking for a good grow light for a 3x3 flower tent.
-Price is not an issue
-Low heat since I am venting into my living area.
-Even light distribution. I plan on doing a SCROG so having the same light intensity on the edges as the center would be best.Setup. Lighting

Growing out instead of up.Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested.
Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power.
Nutrients/food yet to arrive.
It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots.
Suggestions?
