LED distance in grow 80x80x160
I 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. LED QB 120w, LM301H

Grow Light Advice
Helloo growmies! I've got a question.. I need a new light for vegging (only) in a 80x80cm tent. I am thinking of eather the LIGHTWAVE T5HO 60 CM (48W) or MarsHydro TS 600 (100W) Has some one experience with those lights? Is it worth spending double on electricity with the MH?

When to put the light on?
Hey there, Do you need to put the light on the pots directly after you planted the seeds in the ground? Or do you need to wait untill they poke true the ground and then put the light on them?

Light burn?
I had lowered my Sanlight Q4 from 50 cm to 40cm, as per vendors recommendation and now I believe that I have burned the little ones. Or is this a nutrient issue?

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!

Light cycle
hi everyone, I wanted to ask if now that I am at week 6, if it would be better to switch to cycle 18/6? since it broke the ground it is doing 20/4 but I thought that maybe in flowering it needs more rest. thank you all for your help and good growth🌱💚

Hi all, Are the leaves point upwards a good sign of a happy plant or a sign of too much light? This is my first grow and i am trying a variety of setups and just trying to be cautious as what I have read in the forums is either one way or the other. Thanks!

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, Mr.STM
