It’s perfect when you use it correctly by giving the right % of brightness at the correct distance during all the plant life cycle.
MarsHydro is an excellent choice buddy 👍

Changing light cycle on seedlings?Can I run autoflower seedlings under 24/0 light cycle until they reach mature veg stage, and then move them into an 18/6 light cycle? I’m starting seedlings in a space tote, then transferring to a large tent to mature. Will the light cycle change have negative consequences?Setup. Lighting

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7

100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though.
Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.Setup. Lighting

1 light or 2I have recently purchased a Mars hydro SP 3000. Great light.. It replaces my Blurple Mars hydro exo 120. I wanted to ask what peoples opinions are about me using both lights for veging. My grow space is not that big. 1.8m x 0.8m and 2.35m high. Will it be too much light and heat?Setup. Lighting

Auto seedlings, lighting question!Hi! I have a question. I am just about to start my first indoor grow, it’s relatively small, only two plants, both autos. I am using the Telos 6 mesh LED for lighting but I am unclear as to when to switch the power from 25-50%? Is it when the first true leaves appear? ThanksSetup. Lighting

Change lights off time?I'm having trouble with temperature control. My nights get too cold. My current lights off time is 12am-6am. Is it possible to change it? I really want my lights off to be from 9am-3pm. I think that would help me a lot. How do I change it? Let my lights run for 27 hours?Setup. Lighting
