Big_Buds_Good_89started grow question 2 years ago
I'm wanting to get a new light and need some help. My tent is a 3x3. I'm only growing one plant at a time. How many watts do I need? I'm going through a rough patch and only have 0 max to spend.

the dollar sign makes numbes disappear so i can;t see your budget.
the FC 3000 is an excellent option. If you are going to grow autoflowers exclusively, you can use about 66% of that wattage, but will it have the same light distribution accross the area?
this is relative to high-efficiency lights. Lower efficacy will need more watts.

-The tent is 2x2x5 and I'm planning on growing 2 autoflowers in itSetup. Lighting

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete.
Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6Setup. Lighting

Need to upgrade grow lightI'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?Week 4

Gradually prepare for the "SWITCH"Hello all!
What is your way to prepare plants for the switch in terms of light?
Do you reduce hours of light slowly until the day of the "switch"? Do you gradually push up the power of the lamp?
At this time i am giving my ladies 24 hours of light, lamp at about 25% of power.Setup. Lighting
