So I have searched and did some reading but would like input from current people. I have led lights with 2 switches veg/flower do you think it's better to just 1 option in that stage or run both lights through out the grow? Plus side it's less heat if just running 1 but not an issues with just 1 light in tent
I'd run it with both switches turned on. The only time I'd use only the "veg" switch would be during the first ten days of life (counting from the first day that the seed sprouts) if i observed excessive stretching in the stem AND was certain that it was not caused by either having the light source too far away or simple lack of light. But that situation is unlikely, IMHO. If you want to be extra cautious, I suppose you could run just the one switch until the 10-day mark (but I wouldn't bother). As for plants in the flowering phase, both switches should always be turned on. Er... During the lights-on period, obviously .
