Leaves up?
Hey Guys 👍🏻 Quick question, I have my light (HPS - 250w) 40 cm above the plants - should I get the light lower? One of my babies has the leaves going up. I guess she is enjoying the light but I have doubts regarding the light distance.

Add to lights, or get a different light?
Learning more about LED lights, I'm kinda stuck . I can either buy two more of the current light I use (bloomspect SL1000) OR does anyone recommend another light in the same price range? Or info on what to look for .. not limited on space just funds. Unless I found a used one

What’s the ideal amount of LED light for top quality in a 4x4 tent.
I’m exclusively looking to grow top end quality. Already can with HPS setup but wanting to switch. Is 480w Kingbrite LED quantum board with 385,660,730nm enough for this or do I need more? Any other suggestions? Aliexpress/Alibaba manufacturers preferred due to shipping costs.

Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? Mine keeps making a buzzing/rattling noise. I’m thinking it’s the metal inside rattling on the glass so if I slightly rotate it it may stop? What do you think? Thanks!

Does this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.

Efficient lighting
Keeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on. Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields. 👋👽

Electrical power calculation
Actual power consumption of lights is lower than led manufactorer says. 25 leds of 3W each = 75W plus an internal fan plus some other circuits,Total power should be more than 75W and i calculated 58.3W overall. Vac=220 , I=0.265A Any ideas?

Too hot to trot?
Question; I’ve got 3 separate lights, but only running one at this moment . I tried all three just before and noticed a increase of smell from my plant.. Good sign bad sign? Noticed this in even the early stages in the vegetive state, but more concerned flowerin. Cheers community

Grow lamp setting veg or bloom or both?
For my grow lamp settings this early on should I be using the VEG And Bloom spectrums simultaneously? Or just leave in Veg? Since these are Autos I wasn't sure if switching the spectrums was as important as maximizing light.

How to manage grow light height with plants of different sizes?
My grow light is suspended (offset from plants) about 10” from the canapy of my two LST’ed plants but only about 6” from my control plant (no LST). Everyone seems happy, and I am not noticing any burns or lack of growth (unless too close can stunt?). Should I rethink the setup?
