Lower lighting at switch to 12/12?
sativa_loverstarted grow question 5 years ago
Do you typically want to lower your lighting when you switch to 12/12?
I'm a little confused about what is meant when they say to have a 12" light distance for flowering and 18" for veg. Does that mean lower to 12" at the switch to 12/12, or just maintain a min 12" distance?

Hi @sativa_lover yes you have to lower your lighting when you switch to 12/12. But the distance of the lamp depends on the power of the Led and varies from brand to brand, you must see the recommended distances on the manufacturer's website or store. good luck mate 👍

Hi there buddy! Hope you're doing well!
My humble advice for you would be to adjust the lighting height in a way you don't get over 30 °C at the canopy and the "ideal" temp at the canopy would be 26 °C. If you happen to go over 30, don't panic, just readjust the height.
Ventilation is important cause stagnating air heats up and stays there.
Good luck with that baby!

Help with issues IDI have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?

Is she within a week or two? Goal is head buzz, energy, etc., last thing I need is sedation. :)Ready to harvest in a week or two? My eyes don't see well, I had to cut a small flower from near but not at the top. The strain is Trainwreck (Arcada Cut) from Twenty20. I'm getting anxious to pop a Green Crack Auto. No diary due to laziness, ill health, lack of motivation. 😀

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip?
