Without an air cooled hood the light to canopy distance should be between 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm)

Heya!
a 600W I would say should be no further than 20" away during flower. That would be around 700par according to most 600W HPS manufacturers.
Lowest I would go is 12" with gooood ventilation.
Cheers,

Leaves drooping after switching from MH to HPS light for flowering. Is this expected?Flowering started on auto, switched light from MH to HPS 4 days ago. Same power, same ballast, different bulb vendor:
- 150W MH from Superplant at 5000 K
- 150W HPS MASTER SON-T APIA Plus from Philips at 1950 K
Flowering continues but leaves started to droop, plant looks sad

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?Week 2

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

What % to keep lights at during late vegMy question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts?
Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.

Should I dim my TS1000? Ts1000When using two lights in a small space should I be worried about to much light? The plant is mature and is about to transition to flower, I’m just curious what is too much if any. The TS 1000 is dimmable the sf1000d is not. Lights are 18” at the moment

I'm thinking that the Led Light is to high, its around 70 cm from the plants, should I lower it down up to 50/55 or leave like that until Bloom, and on Bloom put it more close?
