Hello DWCpaqy, I do recommend to start the 600 hps from the moment that you notice the first signs from flowering. My DWC bucket got a drain and I can get the lid of without lifting the plant up, so if you can do the same you can just attach your LST ropes to the bucket. If not you can always place 4 cheap plastic 5kg dumbbells inside the tent and attache your LST ropes to these weights. Easiest material to use for LST in my opinion are soft wire and tie wraps. Enjoy your grow!

When you switch over to flower is when most turn on the high pressure sodium.

If you've got the led mate I'd use that, a 600w hps bulb will produce a shocking amount of heat. I was using the bulbs for years and swore by them, until a freak 2 week summer a few years ago made me change my mind. That light says it will do a 3x3 area, it will do both veg and flower. The hps bulb mate is for big full rooms, not tents really. I learned that lesson the hard way.

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,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600wI've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?6 months ago

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

'Claws' on tips just after flowering started. Previous answers help - it is a bit worse. I keep a perfect VPD. What should I do? Flower wouldnt fI'm confused. For the first 3w I used LED as instructed 30-40cm, I had ~43cm,100%dim, everything was fine. When the bloom started yellow claws appeared and still there, maybe a bit worse, with 53cm and 75%dim. Mostly on BPP, one more plant showed her claws today aswell. 😓
