kushkushpassstarted grow question 4 years ago
So I am using a 50 watt cob
my LED only dishes out 145 uMol/ meter^2 per scnd at 6 feet distance and 70 at 12 feet, which I run for 18 hours so aprx. 5 moles DLI.
Is it enough? how much dry bud can I expect from this? any advice? I am on a budget grow.
Help needed, thanks.

Enough? That depends on the space you are using it in. For a space of 1 sq ft to 1.5 sq ft it is fine. Depending on your experience and skill you can pull from 30 gr to 70 gr dry.

You are losing most of the light potential due to the light being spread all over your room. You may make a circle with something reflexive, white, so the light remain reflecting on the walls to the plant until it disappear by absorption and be who knows how light work in physics ...

Hi @kushkushpass In order to hit the 40 mole level for maximum yield, you want a grow light that emits between 600 uMols (for 18 hour veg) and 925 uMols (for 12 hour flowering) PPFD of light. Good luck mate š

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

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

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,

Grow lightsI'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage.
So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?Week 11

Light scheduleSo I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am).
11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower)
Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)
