New Grower

[Skunks]

Ok thanks I have lights at 18’’ above plant that’s led hps are 22’’ above is that about right

 

[SlyTown420]

Yes, that is the correct distance for plants in your stage. Watch the heat though. Just to be extra safe you can place your wrist at plant height level and gauge if its too hot or not.

Also going to get a new light sp-250 could I add that in now even tho I’m nearly 4 weeks into flower

 

[SlyTown420]

It will not hurt. It'll help as they finish. You'll see more benefits of the SP-250 using it through a full grow. I own the SP-250 and PAR values in the very corners of a 2ftx4ft tent at 24" are still high.

 

[Skunks]

Wicked but I’m taking out hps leave just led in

 

[SlyTown420]

Just remember the SP-250 covers 2x4 and after that its shite.

 

[Skunks]

It should still be ok with other 3 lights in there

 

[SlyTown420]

SP-250 in the center and one 600W on either side?

 

[Skunks]

Yeah something like that my grow space now with plants in is 5ftx5ft

 

[SlyTown420]

That'll work. If you need to replace a 600W LED anytime soon, put a MARS TS-1000 in its spot. It'll take care of business!

Like I’ve said new to all of this so every little bit helps how little or big

 

[Skunks]

Hopefully still get a nice yield with lights I have

 

[SlyTown420]

The SP-250 and TS-1000 are some of the newest light put out by MARS. They are excellent, have local repair centers, and an excellent reputation among growers here. We even have a MARS rep here @SmokeSara who can help you layout lighting for optimal coverage.

 

[SlyTown420]

You should.

 

[Skunks]

Yeah I’ve had a chat with the mars rep

 

[Skunks]

Is is first time grow so I’ll up grade to better equipment for next grow as I thought that it was all good equipment till I got on this site

 

[SlyTown420]

Its not bad equipment at all. There is always better lighting we could buy.
