I urgently need help from someone who knows how to grow autoflowers under the TS 1000 (2023 model).

Do you have a diary, because I checked your profile and could not find a single one. Also do you have a lux or ppfd meter to check the values of the light and how high from the plants the is the light? I have TS1000 and I use it like this: Seedlings - 20-30%, 50-60cm, Veg - 40-60% and Flower 60-100%, but this also depends on the heat and the grow space. If the grow space is too small, then it will become way hotter and maybe you will have to lower the light's power or buy a mini ac/humidifier for the grow space and the higher the temperature the humidity is dropping. Also the TS1000 is cheap and weak light and is not covering the full spectrum for optimal grow and bigger and denser buds. If you want bigger and denser buds then you can introduce CO2, but you will need to increase the the power of the light proportionally to the C02. You can always send me a PM if you have more questions mate.

Danke euch für die Antworten. Der Nebel lichtet sich langsam und für den Anfang bin ich sehr zufrieden

I use the tsw2000 which is 300w and is meant for a 3x3. Without an expensive light meter and knowing what a certain strains needs are you have to have trial and error. I personally after trial and error use mine in flowering at 100% but try to not get closer than 18". 20-24" from canopy top. The higher up the light is the better the light spread. So I would rather have it more intense but further away. I run one light so the extra cost isn't much. Remember that terps and cannabinoids are usually the first to go when light or heat stressed

I won’t be able to give you values like PAR, PFD, PPFD and all this kind of bs… This is not the way I grow, I don’t read lines on paper. I read in my plants. Your plants will always show if something is going wrong. You must read the leaves, the petioles, the stems and the tips. Mars Hydro LED’s are extremely powerful, and built for all types of grow rooms with different levels of ceilings. In a grow box you’re limited by the space between the ceiling, the light and the tops of plants. I use 6 x FC 6500. As I’m limited by the ceiling of the room, they never reach 100% full power. In Veg the dimmer is set on 25% at 100cm from tops of plants, it sounds poor but the growth is already impressive on those settings. I set the dimmer at 50% only when I switch to 12/12 cycle. Only in by the end of flowering I give them just a bit more light at 70% Too much intense light will trigger photoinhibition and will kill all the terpenes.

Download the PPFD meter or Photone app. This is my first time experimenting with my light setup. I have the FC8000, and I'm growing this crop with my light fixed at the top. I'm curious to see if there will be any difference without moving the light. Instead of constantly relocating it, I'll simply adjust its intensity and the DLI to observe the effects 🍻

I have a previous version of TS1000, but is there a difference? I used 100% power only with a photo. With autos I’ve never tried more than 75% because I don’t like it when the temps go higher than 25 deg. Even with the ballast outside the tent it’s getting really warm. Anyways, on the current stage I would reduce DLI to 35-30 quite soon. It’s hard to tell the correct distance. You need a Photone app or something similar to measure light with a phone.

Think half of answer givvers here havent grew such nice girl. At that stage i would not worry about bleaching, leaf thermo influence or anything, would BLAST as close on max till harvest. You smoke buds, not leaf, push them to max. 150W wont harm in any case, 20 cm distance from top level of canopy should cover her.

It would be great if someone could tell me their settings (distance and dimming level) for the flowering phase at 18/6. Flowering is extremely slow due to incorrect settings. There were various problems, from light leaf tips, to red stems and pale leaves, to a broken flower tip due to light stress. My only luck so far is the good genetics of Fastbuds.
