Growing Help

I was hoping some here grew Autos with a TSW2000. And could possibly tell me what % you start the light at for the first couple weeks.

i have a 5x5 tent and growing 5 Blue Dream Autos from msnl in 3 gal. frabic. Currently in Week 2 (day 13) from sprouting.

I started at 50% power at 30 inches. they were getting a little lanky, so I turned it up a little to 65-70%. And they seemed to have stoped being all lanky, but havent really started praying.

Im a bit afraid to go 75% or higher because of burning my last run durning flower… But they were Bag seeds and 1 was definitly a hermie. *still drying

50 percent should be fine. just put it closer to the plants. as long as its not to hot and you have airflow it should be fine.

Hi @QuadThumbs, I run a TSW2000 in a 3x3 but with photos only though I can’t imagine an auto’s light requirements to be that much different. It’s always run at 100%. I adjust height to suit the stage the plant is in.
Flowering is usually set at 18", veg at 20"-24" and seedlings at 48". The seedlings are set off to one side and never directly underneath the light. If you look at the par map of the TSW, you can see a hot spot right in the center and I can tell you it is intense! Because of this, I tend to train my plant’s long branches off to the sides and keep the bottom growth at dead center. And this is only for one plant. Since you are planning on 5, I would plan their eventual growth so that the more vigorous growing branches are off to the side. HTH!

Thanks, i appreciate it. i will try this today.

I’ve put it at 75% at 30 inches the last couple days. And they seem to like it. But the leaves still seem a little flat and just slightly perky.
