LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500k
Is there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

Mars hydro 600 lights not going fully out
Hi everyone I'm having issues with my LED mars hydro 600w when the timer is going to 'off' the lights are still very dim, with the plant being a photo period I'm worried the dimmed lights won't let the plant sleep and shock it or keep it in veg. Has anyone had this issue?

Is this enough? 2 mars hydro 600 TS or 200 watts of led in a 24x24x36 tent,
Using a 24x24x36 tent, I have 1 mars 600 ts (100 watts) in there for one plant. I’m going to throw another mars 600 in there as well and grow amnesia haze with my northern lights. I have good ventilation, will this be enough wattage or should I get some CFLs for under canopylight

First questions about light
Since I'm using a chinese 50W led grow lamp , what is the right distance from the plant? I'm doing 18-6, but since she looks little for her age, would be useful to turn 24-0? many thanks for your help

LED light recommendation
I am going to need a new LED light to hang from the ceiling. I am looking for a light that has the red/blue spectrum. A dimmer switch would be awesome- the ones I read about that include-seedling, veg and flowering settings sound amazing. Any recommendations out there? Thanks in

I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.
