If want real growth go with a hps. Led will give you full spectrum and the hps will give you warmth and more lux.

Most LED lights, as long as they have the right spectrum and contain IR lighting should be okay for the entire grow.
If you’re wanting to just add some light to enhance buds, I’ve seen spider farmer and mars hydro recommended a lot. I use Sunraise lights; I have two 1000w lights in my 4x2 tent and one 1000w Sunraise light in a 3x2. Sunraise has a new 3000w light that’s been getting good reviews as well.

It seems to me that the led you have is suitable for both veg and bloom! Normally it’s all in distance!! You should have it 24-30” inches from the canopy for veg and 12-18 inches for bloom! Does this light have dual switches? Because if it does then both need to be on for bloom! If you are looking for good lights that are cheap then my recommendation is spider farmer led sf series lights are amazing sun like look!

Is this a sign of a hermaphrodite?I'm afraid one of my plants might be hermaphrodite.
Today i spotted something that looks like male pistils.
I removed them carefully and found something similar at the plant and removed it aswell.
Should i remove the plant from my tent (3 other plants are inside) or keep it?Week 8

18 weeks, but I'm not sure she's ready.The plant is 18wks old. Leaves are getting yellow, some buds are so fat the branches bend under the weight.
I'm worried some pistons are still white and I can still see some clear trichoms, but she's 3 weeks after the recommended date of harvesting.
Do you think she's ready?Week 18

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?Setup. Lighting
