Adding in an LED board for the last 2-3 weeks of flowering?
Dudders
started grow question 4y ago
Currently running a 400w HPS lamp. Would there be any significant benefit in adding in a 100w LED board on purple or blurple?

No. Just a waste of electricity. Your 400 watt HPS will be far superior and also be completely adequate.

*FC-E4800 Hanging Distance*
1st grow -4x4 with 480w Fc-e4800 in early veg (auto) but I am very confused on light distance and dimmer %. Apart from recommended distances, can someone point me to how I can establish the correct height and dimming % required based in the grow cycle? Currently at 30% & 55cm

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Hiya Folks 😊 As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting? It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent. My plant has just done 28 days from seed!! Cheers 😉

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?

Lighting schedule?
Many references state the when moving from vegetative to flowering stage the lighting schedule (indoors) needs to be reduced from 18-20 hours down to no more than 12. Why do many here stay at 18 or more the whole way through?

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?
Hey, I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower. Thanks

6 weeks of veg? I got only 3
Why do i see some auto or non auto diaries with 6 week of veg? When i grew non auto i just had them 3 weeks then switch the light time and changed 400w to a 600w. I learned that because they used to get hella big. And in Auto seeds i switch the spectrum after 3 weeks

LED glass/plastic cover.
Glass/plastic cover on cheap led lights.. do you remove them or not? From keeping reptiles I know that any glass/plastic will reduce UV. Just wondering if anybody's noticed any difference after removing the glass.
