HLG 550 V2 RSpec power/height in flower
Raptor7started grow question 6y ago
I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.

Hey, buddy! 👋😇
Choosing the right height for your lamp will be easier with knowledge of your lighting! 👆
You can measure the illuminance (lux) in your cultivation area above the plant!
Download a free app called "luxmeter" from the app store on your smartphone, wipe your phone screen well, and clean off any grease and dirt. The light sensor is located on the screen side and often rivals individual lux meters. Check the illuminance 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 think of me more than once, bro! It will be like a compass for your lighting! 😇👌
Effective illuminance 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 (20000-80000lux). In theory, the most optimal for flowering is considered to be (45000-65000lux). Try not to go above 90000 lux. Otherwise – 100% problems due to overly active processes in the plant! 😇👆
Good luck, bro! ✊😇

I have the hlg550v2 in a 4x4. I read its 2 inch from top of plant to light in veg and 1inch in flower.
Light intensity should be max on flower and half on veg.
Im no pro. Hope my 2 cents help

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.Week 7

What are optimal PPFDAnyone have a quick and easy rule/suggestion for PPFD & lux for plants in Seedling, Vegetative & Flowering states? Lots of divergent answers online.

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periodsI have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?Setup. Lighting

Better temperature for early vegIn auto flower indoor, Early veg, is better have 18ºC/24ºC, or stai around 23°C during all the day. I have an Inkbird that I can set on 23, that is cool when is light off, it warm it up. But with light off it’s drop down temperature to 23.Setup. Lighting

And if it's not difficult, tell me how I should control the light at all stages of growth from growth to the end of flowering!? at what distance from the plants should the light be? and what power adjustments on the driver should I make?
