Lamp distance
jacockstarted grow question 2y 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%.

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?3y ago

additional blurple lightsI also got the blurple lights from my friend. To keep the temperature down I haven't installed them yet and not sure if I will. Will they make a difference if I add them next to the current LED? If so should I wait until the flowering stage or anything like that?Week 1

Viparspectra P2000 height and intensityFor those that have experience with the light I'm using, Viparspectra P2000, how high and what intensity percentage should I have it? Currently I'm at 21" at 75% power. Also, I run it 24/7. I have an app on my phone and it says my DLI is at like 56 which seems way too high.Week 3

How much light does a seedling need?Is there a limit to what it can use? Could an LED grow bulb a couple inches away provide enough light? Up to what age? Thank you so so much. My first grow and I really appreciate it!

Can I switch my lighting schedule ?Hello everyone. 1st grow here. I'd like to swap my lighting (automatic plants) from [4am:midnight] to [4pm:noon] just to keep the temperature a little higher at night. Is it doable while not hurting the ladies or should I shift it an hour per day to change the cycle ?
Thanks !Setup. Lighting

Extra belichtingHallo . Ik zit in de derde week bloei van mijn royal gorilla planten ze staan onder een hps lamp van 600 watt als ik nu nog een extra lamp van 400 watt zou plaatsen zou dat de opbrengst vergroten of een verspilling van energie . Groeten GorillaSetup. Lighting
