light

Hello, fellow farmers newbie grower here excited to do my first diaries. Like the title says grow with me(or me being a noob let me grow with you. Constructive criticism is certainly welcome...it's kinda why I'm doing this diary...so if anyone sees anything I'm doing wrong or something I could...

I just finished building a grow box out of an old dresser, but there is still a small amount of light coming out of the cracks in the drawers. I used weather stripping to seal off the drawers and they are in their slots very, very snugly. So snug that that there is no way to use more of the...

Hey everyone, I would like to ask something. II am growing 4 autoflowers in a 500xmm by 1 metre high tent with a meizhi 600w led, do you guys thing that that is too much light for sucha small space, and to use from seedling to fiinish? I also have a 300q mars hydro led and dont know whether to...

Hi there everyone, I have been doing two autoflowers, (ak47 and Anubis). They have been sprouted for 12 days, however, when I checked my analog timer (the ones with the pins all around them) i noticed that one pin (I think) has been pushed down during the dark period, meaning the lights have...

I am a new grower in using a small space. I have had two somewhat successful grows, the first had ph problems, the second I had light burn. What I want to know is light suggestions. My grow space is small, its a mini fridge I converted. I have about 35 cubic feet of room and not much height...

ok guys, so I'm trying to grow a tiny little plant on my balcony. Just a fun little grow. My question is, how critical is the lighting schedule. Here's how she is lit now: 7:00AM-11:00AM indirect sunlight 11:00AM-6:00PM direct sunlight 6:00PM-12:00PM I move her inside under a flourescent...

I have a question about inconsistent light and dark periods. My plant alternates between the window sill, where it gets 5-6 hours of direct sun a day (and a great view of the neighbors' plants), and the closet. At first, I'd put the plant away at 8 PM and take it out at 8 AM religiously. But...

ok so I bit the bullet and bought a mars 600 led , after reading post after post on how much light you need for 1 plant. I'm running now 3 low watt led full spectrum and one CFL, now I have the lights much closer then my first attempt and it's much more bushy and looks much healthier, iv been...

I once heard or read, that you will not get the double yield if you plant 2 plants instead of 1. So for example: I have 1 plant under a mixture of cfl's and led's about 150watt: Yielding 50g I have 2 plants under a mixture of cfl's and led's about 150watt: Yielding 50g - 25g each Is this true...

I am a licensed medical grower for a legal medical state in the northeast. My Goal: To grow as much tree as possible by the end of the year. Efficiency is of equal priority (space, electricity, and time), as well as some variety of medicine. I plan on harvesting every 2 months after initial 2...

Hey all, this is my 2nd post in the community & love the forums site so far!! wanted to know what light cycle i should do and for how long?? im going to start growing soon hopefully and wanted to know before i started what should i do for the 3 different parts of the plants life (how many...

Has anyone had the chance to deep dive and explore differences in photomorphenesis relation to production of different cannabinoids ? Or main group CBD / THC .. Some research show increased production of THC relative to concentration of UV-B. I'm mainly interested in knowing if someone have...

Hi, first grow, 3 master kush from seed, I'm in week 5 of 12/12 now, vegged for 6 weeks, running 400w hps all the way through in 900x900x1600 tent with extractor, lights off temp 16 or 17c, lights on 25 or 26c, keeping light 12 inch from closest bud, (only a few days ago was only 8 inch) in coco...

I'm planning an outdoor grow In Portland Oregon which is 45 degree latitude, maritime temperate Mediterranean climate, dry summer. Rains begin without fail mid October and plants must finish by then or weak light and rain guarantees botrytis. I've done it successfully before without greenhouse...

I have some leds(mars hydro or Sn300) in mind that i want to buy, but i want to see what it would cost to build cob fixture to cover that area. What cob 3070 or 3590 and what drivers to use? thanks.

Hi, I was just wondering approximately how long does veg take in DWC. The plant is about a month old and looking good, however I would like it to be bigger before changing the light schedule. What do you think?

Hopefully the title got your attention. About two weeks ago I germinated my first bag-seed (Supposedly Lemon Haze but I'm not sure). The seedling is about almost 4 inches tall and is still growing. I have it in a plastic container on the window of my room. I had one little problem with the plant...

I'm growing 9 white widow autos.. I'm in for soil 75/25 mix happy frog and ocean forest.. 5 gal buckets... have not added nutes at all... germinated on 11/20 .. fan leaves started to roll up like a taco.. not heat issue.. plants have never seen 80 degrees.. running 1000 D.E. yield lab hps and 2...

My first plant just sprouted today, although compared to other sprouts I've seen it looks a little worse for wear... does it seem unhealthy/stressed? Is this just something it'll outgrow? Also I haven't had much light on it until now because I figured there was no point in wasting electricity...

Ok, after more planning from my last thread, I have almost decided on the basics :D. I will be trying to use a solar generator for electricity, as this is as extreme stealth growing as I have seen done. Can anyone recommend me essential items that is needed (lights,fan, etc.), so I can begin to...
