Hey, buddy! 👋 I tried using LED spotlights, and with the right placement in the tent, they can be quite sufficient! 👋 I think the first thing you need to consider is the light level in your tent. You should check the light level when the lamp is on and adjust its position or placement! Install a free app called "luxmeter" from the app store on your smartphone, wipe your phone screen well, and clean it from grease and dirt. The light sensor is located on the screen part, which often rivals individual lux meters. Check the light level above the plant. Adjust the lamp height so it doesn't heat the plant to shock levels but stays within the lux range. Install the app, and you'll remember me more than once, bro! It'll be like a compass for your lighting! 👆 Effective light level ranges, starting from planting the plant: Day 1 (250-500lux) Day 2 (500-1000lux) Day 3 (1000-2000lux) After five pairs of leaves, full vegetation (2000-20000lux) Flowering (20000-100000lux). Try not to exceed 99000 lux. Otherwise, you'll have problems due to too high a rate of photosynthesis processes in marijuana! 👆 Good luck, buddy! ✊😇

In theory, the optimal light for flowering is considered to be (45000-65000lux). But that's just theory; in practice, I'm experimenting with lighting, and so far the plant is doing great at 70000lux-88000lux. If I give it more, I can already feel the heat from the lamp, and the plant experiences thermal stress as well, so I'm experimenting as best as I can, but to not kill the plant, rather to fully develop it! 👌
