Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Gazeyestarted 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?

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiodI have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower.
If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?Setup. Lighting

Can a 1000w LED grow light be closer than 60cm (24") to a seedling?Different sources are saying: 1000w LED light should not be closer to a seedling than 60-75cm (24"-30"). The seedling should be getting 5000-7000 lux, 100-300 PAR (PPFD 18h) and 12-20 DLI.
Question: Can I put the light closer at ~40cm, dimmed to match the needed lux, par and dli

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,
Mr.STMSetup. Lighting

Autoflower light cycles - adjusting mid growAutoflowers can grow in pretty much any light cycle. What are your experiences with changing light cycles mid grow? I am currently around Day 24, running 20/4 but the humidity in my grow cabinet at lights off is very high. How would adjusting to 24/0 affect my plants now? Thanks!Setup. Lighting

What % to keep lights at during late vegMy question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts?
Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.

Light IntensityHi there! Last week I discovered that plants were very droopy. It was end of the day cycle so I dimmed the lights around 400 ppfd. Normally I would give easily 700-800 for 18 hours. Why is that happening now. Is it that my co2 ppm is very low? is it genetics?4y ago

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

light dilemmaWhen shine only with flower light, i reach 20,000 lux units in the buds area. But when i turn both lights on at once, both the growth and bloom spectre, the lux units increase to 65,000. I wonder if the extra growth light will affect the flowers that are already blooming. Thanks.Setup. Lighting
