LEDs for 32x32 tent
BostonGirlGrowsstarted grow question 6y ago
New to indoor growing. Set up a 32x32 Vivosun tent. Currently have a giixer 1000w light, but wasn’t feeling the coverage was good enough for several plants. So I just ordered a second one. Do you think 2 giixer 1000w leds is ridiculous overkill?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Let's see. Your area is 32" * 32" = 2.67' * 2.67' = 7.12 sq ft. You need 30 to 40 real led watts per sq ft; so you need between 213 to 285 real watts. Two of those 1000 watt giixer will give you 220 real watts, which will be just over 30 watts. So no it is not overkill, it is barely enough as it is.

It's 110w from the wall, so 2x of them will won't be overkill at all 👍

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat? HLG 100RSpec:0 / XS1000: (on sale this weekend)

direct HOT sunlight on week one?Should I put her under direct sunlight? Temperature here reaches 32°C-89°F and it's not so windy, Im scared it could burn the tiny plant, I have been keeping both plants under a white mosquito net that makes the light less hot and they get some direct light untill 10 am (see pic)

Breaking light cycle during floweringDoes breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?Setup. Lighting

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

Cuando y como pasar mis plantas a floración??I'm going to switch my plants to flowering 12/12, I've read that they leave them without light for 48 hours to force flowering, is this good or should I just skip it?? And I have a dimmable ballast, I have it set to 400w, when I switch to 12/12 should I set it to 600w or wait until the second week of flowering to change it to 600w??

Are these LEDs good?What do you growmies think of these lights? They're LED's, I have 2 of these going and a few other lights. These though, I don't understand much about electrical info. My green seems to like them ok but are they good? I know to the experts out there, this probably seems dumb, but

23 hours light per day?I’m running 4 autos in a 4x4 tent on 20 hours of light per day. I’m thinking about the possibility of changing the light hours to 23 hours a day and 1 dark hour. I’m currently on week 8/9, I’m expecting it to finish roughly 12/14 weeks from birth. Any thoughts on this growers?Setup. Lighting

what is correct light schedule for indoor germination and seedling, and then transplant outdoors?I plan to grow a photoperiod plant outdoors from spring to fall, but the germination and seedling stages will be done indoors. For the indoor part, can I use a setup with 18 hour light schedule? Or should it be 12 hours? I don't want to trigger flowering when I put it outside.Setup. Lighting
