Lamp distance
jacockstarted grow question 14 days ago
maybe the lamp is too close? Plants are fine and not burnt, they keep adding nodes and leaves,but they seem too short (7cm the shortest, 11cm the tallest at day 19/20). The lamp is a Mars hydro tsw2000 (450W), until now it has always been at 30 cm and changed from 25%, to 50%.

They don't look to bad to me atm.
All the main lamp manufactures have guides in the their product manuals and online in their product page on recommended hang heights and dim settings for seedlings, veg and flowering plants. I suggest you look for it, its not set in stone either, sometimes its need a few more inches or less, all depends on the plant.
Good Luck!

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto?
Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so?
I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow.

LED light - Veg / BloomHey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on.
Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?Setup. Lighting

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA
