LED: Veg and bloom switches

[ImTheOneWhoKnocks]

Just wondering if you can or should run with both lights on, when growing Autos? I have a viparspectra 1200v in a 4x4 tent.

That looks so cool! Not positive about autos ImTheOneWhoKnocks but mostly I've read people are running led's with both switches full bore through veg and flower. I've played with the red and blue adjustments on my VP Par450, but not enough to be at all obvious what helped or didn't. I just run that and my Mars Hydro II 700 with veg/bloom full bore now. Just want the max PPFD or whatever the scientists say. Cheers mate, gl to your grow!

I've read somewhere that you can have both on for autos as they will flower when they want regardless of light. More light, more yield they say! I don't want to over do it though. Just wondering if anyone has experience running both at the same time!

Yes run both switch on all the time

Yes run both switch on all the time

How long after sprouting, do you wait to turn both on?

Be careful how close the light is. If they’ve just sprouted, put them a good 3 feet away. Lower them as your plant develops.

I have it at about 32" above right now. I will be paying close attention for awhile!
