I’m trying to figure out the optimal height to hang my KingLed 1000w full spectrum at for seedling, veg, and flower. I feel like part of why my plant was is so small is due to incorrect hanging of the light but idk

If you really want to be correct, it'd be best to invest in a par-meter.. this way you can measure the intensity and adjust it according to the state of the plant.
While the really good sensors are expensive (like the Apogee), Shane from Migro tested a cheap 30-bucks unit from Amazon and created a "conversion factor" that can be used to calculate the PPFD value for a given light-temperature (i.e. 3k, 3.5k etc) to match his Apogee. He said in his video, that up to 1000PPFD this specific unit was quite accurate, so I think that could be a good investment (i got it myself as well).
I suggest checking youtube for his video on the Migro channel..

Throughout the cycle i try to keep between the 14inch-20inch mark. Place your hand on top of the canopy for a couple of mins, if ur hand is too hot, then your girls will be👍

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.Setup. Lighting

Idiot - new light, wrong sized grow tentSo I’m an idiot. All this time I thought I had and 80/80cm grow tent, when it turns out it’s actually 60/60, and I of course just ordered the SF2000 light, which is almost 65cms on one side. Should I just order a new tent right away to make it fit? Or could it be squeezed in? 😭Setup. Lighting
