Lower lighting at switch to 12/12?

sativa_loverstarted grow question 4 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!

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

I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?
