Light Intensity/Distance for Germination and Beyond
Happyduckstarted grow question 10 months ago
I have a Bloomspect SL600 (85W) for one autoflower plant. I am looking for advice on light intensity/distance for germination and beyond. Currently, I have the light at 50% intensity at 14 inches going 20/4. 14 inches is the highest I can go due to space limitations. Any advice?

Research DLI and how it relates to you’re light schedule and the PPFD output from the lights manufacturer specs. Honestly with autos I’d encourage a little stretch in the first weeks of growth/Veg. A lot of them stay tight cuz of the ruderalis genetics.

Should one decrease light intensity during early flower?Should one decrease light intensity during early flower, and then gradually increase again? I see DLI/PPFD recommendations for flowering in general, but not for the different stages of flowering.Setup. Lighting

what is correct light schedule for indoor germination and seedling, and then transplant outdoors?I plan to grow a photoperiod plant outdoors from spring to fall, but the germination and seedling stages will be done indoors. For the indoor part, can I use a setup with 18 hour light schedule? Or should it be 12 hours? I don't want to trigger flowering when I put it outside.Setup. Lighting

Contemplating putting 2 plants outside. I have 8 in a 3x3 with Mars hydro tsw2000. It’s pretty tight in there. What do you guys think? Is 8 too many for the size and light? Or should I just leave them as is? I think the the pots are 3 possibly 5 gallon.

How to grow Jack Herer and Power Plant strainsHey growmies, I’ve started two Jack Herer fems and a Power Plant fem on my 3-D’s diary. I’ve read JH can be a mofo and should be grown on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. I read the same for PP also. Is this true???? I’m trying to maximize yield. Thoughts please… 🤯Setup. Lighting
