Flowering: 600-1000 µmol/m²/s

LIGHT SPECTRUM

Vegetative: 6500K (bluish) for compact growth

Flowering: 3000K (reddish) for dense buds

Full spectrum LEDs: Best all-round solution

LIGHT CYCLE

Vegetative: 18/6 (18h on, 6h off)

Flowering: 12/12 (12h on, 12h off)

Autoflower: 20/4 or 18/6 continuous

DISTANCE TO THE PLANT

100W LED: 30-45cm

200W LED: 45-60cm

400W LED: 60-75cm

ELECTRICITY COSTS

300W LED = approx. 4€/day for 18h operation
