I’m here again with another silly question Or no...
Ema26started grow question 5 years ago
I’m here again with another silly question Or not I’m not sure🤣 I have a 600w ballast with a 600&400 switch on it and I’m wanting to downgrade to a 250w lamp. Will my ballast power it okay or will it kill it🤔 or should I get a 400? Thanks!

nah you will need to get the ballast that is switchable from 250w to 600w and you also need the lamp to be dimmable as well for it to work
I would just run a 400w bulb with the 400w setting and leave it at that would be plenty of light for your tent and bonus is you can always go higher if you need to

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? Thanks

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

Колличество светаПодскажите., почему во всех гайдах и пособиях пищут что автоцветам нужно на цветении 500mmol/cm2 а фотопиродным 700, в то время как реально под солнечным светом растение в ауте получает 1400-1600. Почему не дать столько же света растениям в индоре?Week 9

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojasEstas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?
