Auto seedlings, lighting question!

Luluboo80started grow question a year ago

Hi! I have a question. I am just about to start my first indoor grow, it’s relatively small, only two plants, both autos. I am using the Telos 6 mesh LED for lighting but I am unclear as to when to switch the power from 25-50%? Is it when the first true leaves appear? Thanks

The best way is to watch the seedling. If it starts stretching for the light then either increase the intensity or move the light closer As a rough guide for a light I'm not familiar with would be: 25% 24" for first true leaves 50% 24" not long after Till flip then 100% and maybe a bit closer. Remember the closer the light is the more uneven the light spread, with it being most intense under the centre. I prefer having it higher up with more intensity.

Hi mate, you may not require to increase for 3 weeks. I have noticed that autos are fragile in relation to too strong light at early stages. What's your distance beetwen lamp and pots?

Bloom Light Supplement I am a one plant windowsill grower, but having trouble getting enough light for bloom due to cloudy days. I have a three prong red/Blue LED light off Amazon, Wakyme, that is not cutting it. Would this lamp work? Two bulbs. I will have to suspend it from a clothes rack.

Single CF Grow COB LED (300 W) sufficient for one plant?Would like to know your thoughts on my 300-W COB LED (www.amazon.de/dp/B07Z678V5) I’m using in open space on a single plant. I’m not expecting huge yields with this lamp, but I am hoping it will be sufficient to bring a healthy plant to harvest.

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Throw out one plant?Is it productive to kill one plant if the rest of the plants are filling out the room just fine and to promote ventilation and light penetration? I have one plant that is way shorter and behind the others due to genetic problems.

Dying and blackening seedling Does anyone know if this one will make it or what the cause of its death is? I’m not too upset I would just like to use it as a learning experience. It isn’t leaning on anything and is still supporting its own weight the angle isn’t doing it much justice so still hope?

Have to hide my lovevly plant, what to do?Funny question, my landlord has to come over to check some stuff in my flat. I'll obviously have to hide it but it will change the light schedule, it's gonna be longer in the dark (probably around 3hours more). Is it a problem? Can i hide the plant somewhere without hurting it?

NEED SOME ADVICE! Change to LED from HPS? which ones are good for tent size? Which ones are good for good yields?I've got a 4x4 tent with 8 seedlings in cups but will be in 11L pots. Currently I had a 600w HPS light but my ballast busted today. I have a back up CFL 150W not to mess up the light schedule. Thinking about changing to LED lights, I know it'll be cheaper but I want same yield...
