🌱 Gen-2 LED Grow Light β€” Grow Guide & Tips

Welcome to the Grow Guide

This is your go-to manual for getting the best harvest using the Broadway Powers Gen-2 LED Grow Light. Follow these tips, and you’ll see stronger growth, healthier plants, and more success indoors.

1. Understanding Light & Your Gen-2 LED

  • The Gen-2 LED delivers full spectrum light (blue + red + white) to mimic natural sunlight.

  • Use it to supplement daylight or replace it entirely indoors.

  • Keep it 20–40 cm (8–16 in) above plant canopy initially β€” adjust based on plant type.

2. Growth Phases & Light Schedules

Phase Hours of Light Best Use
Seed / Germination 16–18 hrs ON / 8 hrs OFF Keep light further to avoid burn
Vegetative Stage 18 hrs ON / 6 hrs OFF Strong growth β€” more blue light
Flowering / Fruiting 12 hrs ON / 12 hrs OFF More red spectrum, manage cycles carefully

Tip: Use a timer to automate the on/off cycles consistently.

3. Recommended Distance & Adjustments

  • Seedlings / clones: 30–40 cm away

  • Vegetative growth: 20–30 cm away

  • Flower / fruit stage: 15–25 cm away

  • Watch for leaf stress (bleaching or curling) β€” if that happens, raise the light a bit.

4. Best Growing Tips (Soil / Water / Nutrients)

  • Use well-draining potting mix (with perlite or coco coir)

  • Water when top 20% of soil is dry

  • pH between 5.8–6.5 (for hydro or soil)

  • Use a balanced nutrient formula, and reduce nitrogen during flowering

  • Ensure good air circulation (fan or vents)

5. Common Issues & Fixes

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Leaves yellowing Overwatering or nutrient burnout Cut back water, flush soil, adjust feeding
Stunted growth Light too far or insufficient wattage Lower light, check output, supplement if needed
Leaves curling or bleaching Light too close or too intense Raise the light, reduce hours
Stretching / leggy plants Insufficient light or wrong spectrum Lower light, adjust ratios

6. Harvest & Post-Harvest Tips

  • Flush your plants with pure water during the last 1–2 weeks before harvest

  • Harvest during the dark period (just before lights on)

  • Dry in a well-ventilated space with 50–60% humidity

  • Cure in jars, open daily for 5–10 minutes during first week

7. Maintenance & Cleaning

  • Turn off and unplug the light before cleaning

  • Wipe the LED surface gently with a soft microfiber cloth

  • Avoid water getting into electronics or driver box

  • Check screws and fan housing monthly

8. Troubleshooting Quick Checks

  1. Are plants leaning toward edge? β†’ Move light more central

  2. Did leaves burn after increasing intensity? β†’ Raise light 5 cm

  3. Are you getting uneven growth? β†’ Rotate plants every few days

9. Safety & Tips

  • Ensure your grow area is well-ventilated to reduce heat

  • Use a surge protector for your grow lights

  • Avoid touching LEDs when powered

  • Keep water spills away from electronics
