Looking for unsponsored responses... need light......
starphishstarted grow question 5 years ago
Looking for unsponsored responses... need light...my car cost 1000$ and I can't justify anything close to that. Flowering a 4x4 area..should I wait for tech to develop and HPS in the meantime? Convince me otherwise with your experiences! #budget

Well for a 4x4 (im guessing feet) you probably going to get 4-6 plants. 600w would be fine. There are plenty of cheap led on the market. I use a 250w vipraspectra I got for £75 for my 2x2 room!

LED distance in grow 80x80x160I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds
and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant.
I have 4 plants
Is it ok like this?
I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant.

Fluoro and LEDs togetherIn addition to the 24W T5 Fluoro, I will be adding an 80W LED Lamp 12" from the tops. This lamp has 3 spectrum settings: Red&Blue, Warm White, and all 3. Which setting is best for veg and how will it affect the plants by having both types of lighting? ThanksSetup. Lighting

Flip light schedule1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. ThoughtsWeek 4
