Grow lamp setting veg or bloom or both?

Riptorchstarted grow question 4 years ago

For my grow lamp settings this early on should I be using the VEG And Bloom spectrums simultaneously? Or just leave in Veg? Since these are Autos I wasn't sure if switching the spectrums was as important as maximizing light.

I recommend leaving it on only veg for the 1st couple weeks, then putting the bloom switch on also. The bloom switch is mainly red spectrum lighting which will encourage a little more stretching, but in my opinion, it is better to have a diverse light spectrum. good luck!

Just leave the veg light on, only. I don't do autos, but once they change over, I would then turn on the bloom light,leaving the veg light on as well.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

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.

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

Reverse flowering time could I reverse the time when putting into bloom and switching from a 12/12 program? I could turn on at 00:00 and turn off the light at 12:00, because honestly I keep them on during the night and I turn them off at noon and I would like to do the opposite, can I?
