lighting

Hi, I'm planning to plant a sativa-heavy auto on my balcony. The temperature at my place is between 23-31 degrees Celcius. It's windy enough. The only problem is that my balcony doesn't get enough direct sunlight. Would it make sense for me to place a supplement light for my plant? If yes...

so I’ve noticed that some people have their plants lifted on buckets, and their lights are super high, and some have them on the ground and their lights are adjusted as necessary. my question is does it matter whether you have your plans at the top or the bottom of the tent? Does that change...

Should I trim down, remove leaves to allow the passage of light to the lower leaves. As lower leaves are not getting enough light!

For my first grow, my lights were annoyingly loud(my wife hated it). We live in a small house with very thin walls, and the tent is in the spare bedroom. Lights on, you could hear the buzzing clear through the drywall. The setup is: 600w HPS with magnetic ballast, in a 4ftx4ftx80in tent It's...

On my fourth grow, finally got everything set perfect. Aircooled hood, S6 inline fan by afinity, and have by nutrients down and some good seeds. BUT it is still my hardest problem to date, temp is a bit more than id like for my 400w MH/HPS. Should I just set my grow to 250W and let it run or...

Hi growmies, I've got a really important question, probably the most important when growing. It's going to be my first indoor plant and there's so much info everywhere about this, probably too much, but my question is light wattage. I have a 80x80x160cm (2.6x2.6x5.2ft) tent and by the 50W per...

So I am Looking at lighting upgrades and wondering is it worth it right now i am rocking 2 VIPARSPECTRA UL Certified 600W LED Grow Lights in a 48"/48"/80" Grow tent now i am thinking about going for just one Spider Farmer SF-4000 a little pricey but still interested would it be worth it is their...

Wondering if my 1500w led grow light is enough for a 4X4X80 grow tent, or should i need two

Hello, I've had a few DWC grows that went fine and I am now planning a much bigger one, but I have two issues I was hoping to get advice on. I want to switch from MH/HPS to CMH. But I need about 18 lights and they aren't cheap. A lot of people have suggested the Hydrosuns but the cheapest ones...

Hello! I’ll start off by saying I’m a newbie grower. Got interested after finding a seed in my bag and decided to grow it! I finally purchased everything i need for my grow tent and I opted for a SpiderFarmer sf 2000 light in my 2x4 grow tent. I don’t have anything to measure the photon...

With clouds and rain for the past 2 weeks and when I germinated it no sun for acouple days I finally bought some CFLS 23wx7 for 150 daylight led my baby looks terrible, bugs in the storage garage are everywhere thinking about bringing it inside to a 2ft by 26in 11 ft to ceiling. Hall closet...

Aeroponics nutrients and feeding schedule/ reservoir turnover & lighting decisions hello community, I am starting a grow for the first time and im diving straight into the deep end but i have a few questions.there isnt much data available when it comes to cannabis and aeroponics. Firstly, how...

For a 4'x2'x7', would 2 VIPARSPECTRA UL Certified Reflector-Series 450W LED work? Would 2 VIVOSUN 600W LED be better, or the same? Alternatively the guide here recommends 1 of the VIPARSPECTRA Dimmable Series PAR450 450W LED. I just want to be positive I'm getting the right light as I probably...

Would it hurt to have a roughly 24hr dark spell during veg? Need some work doing on my house and don't want everything running

I'm a first-time grower, but determined to do it as well as I can. Of course I've already made a bunch of mistakes, but I have FIMed and LST'd the hell out of my plants, and I've done some judicious defoliation, and they look great. I've just changed them over to 12-12 after about two months in...

you now have LED'S, CFL's, Plasma, Induction, T-5's, HPS, and MH - can be really confusing - What do you think is the best type of lighting? Guess it comes down to cost of light and cost of running
