If I use my old aquarium and try to germinate. Would the lamp be sufficient for early stage, or does it have to be a lot stronger?

Te sirve para los primeros días
Si ves que la plantula se estira (el tallo se hace muy largo), acerca la lampara o cambia a un CFL o LED de 50W

Do I leave the lamp on 24/7? Or do I keep it turned out for some time?

Hey m8! Pretty sure that would work well for the early days of the plant the Watts of the aquarium would help confirm this statement

Light hanging distanceI’m not sure how high to hang my light. My plants seem to be all staying extremely squat and not stretching, though all seem healthy. I’ve been fiddling between 18-28 inches and 600-800 ppfd (ios meter app) and I can’t find a distance that seems to make them happier. D26 autosWeek 4

Hey growmies✌️💚, so I finally have a PAR meter. With all my 3 LEDs on at the lowest setting I reach like 77 umol max. What would you recommend for seedlings that small like in the picture? I saw seedling/clone 100 - 300. So just wondering how much for my little flowers? 😁✌️Setup. Lighting

Irregular light schedule.I am thinking about giving her 24h lights a few days a week and then go back to 18h. Just to give her a boost. Will this irregular light schedule harm her?
My first thought is that it doesn’t matter much since she is an auto, however I know that plants love balanced environments.Week 3

How much light does a seedling need?Is there a limit to what it can use? Could an LED grow bulb a couple inches away provide enough light? Up to what age? Thank you so so much. My first grow and I really appreciate it!

Grow lightsDoes this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.5y ago

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.Week 8

Is this enough? 2 mars hydro 600 TS or 200 watts of led in a 24x24x36 tent,Using a 24x24x36 tent, I have 1 mars 600 ts (100 watts) in there for one plant. I’m going to throw another mars 600 in there as well and grow amnesia haze with my northern lights. I have good ventilation, will this be enough wattage or should I get some CFLs for under canopylightSetup. Lighting

LED light - Veg / BloomHey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on.
Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?Setup. Lighting
