started grow question 3y ago
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 distance
Hi everyone, what distance from the light to the plant is recommended to start the vegetative period? I see many different measurements on the internet. In this case, it's for some automatic Red Poison plants, with a 360W LED light.

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?
I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.

Temperature VS More Light which is better for buds size and potency
Should I continue to use two LEDS if temps are reaching 87f during flower (day 1) or just move plants more towards center of tent and use one LED for better temperatures (75f) (only growing two plants). lights are 1000w bestiva and are in a tent that is 24"x48"60".

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?
I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Too much light ?
So started my second run and got everything dialed in but this time I’m running with spf-1000D and the normal spf-1000 is that too much light for the plants that would slow them down ? Together the lights should be around 200w

Light doesnt cover every pot
So i've got 2 plants under one cfl lamp and i observed that that 1 girl is reclining to the right. As i see my Cfl this girl is standing right below the plastic part of the cfl and obviously gets less sun. How can i fix this? Changing place my pots every day will do the job?

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's normal, or why those lower branches are stretching so much? I have only one 50w cob light. Which apparently produces equivalent to 150watt... Is that enough? I have only one plant and a very small grow box. Thanks for any advise :)

Bud too close to the light
Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

LED glass/plastic cover.
Glass/plastic cover on cheap led lights.. do you remove them or not? From keeping reptiles I know that any glass/plastic will reduce UV. Just wondering if anybody's noticed any difference after removing the glass.

Setting up air cooled refactor.
I've got a new air cooled light refractor, a tube like one. I've set it up such as the pic, I'm thinking of putting the extractor where it shows on the pic with the air flow going the way of the arrow, would this be OK? I can't find anything online about setting this one up.

LUX meter grow question
Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

HLG UVA supplement
Introduced this hlg 30 uva light as a supplement to the twin 260s. I've read just 3 hours a day increasing 1 hour per week up to 4-6 hours before harvest. Anyone recommend anything differently or just run it 18/6 with the lights?
