Segun mi experiencia no es necesaria la luz al 100% en todo el proceso.
-Semilla 50%
-Veg 75%
-Flora 100%
Asi ahorraras un poco en electricidad.
Dependiendo de la cantidad de calor que desprenda tu luz lo tendras que poner mas o menos cerda.
en mi caso esta a un 75% y a unos 45-50cm de las plantas

Un saludo y suerte!!

Hi,
The more light the plant gets the bigger it will grow.
I am using a mars ts 1000 and haven't turn down the dimmer. If you are going with the dimmer at full, try keeping the light away from the top canopy or it will bun ur leaves.
Happy grow!!!

I just picked up the Spider Farmer SF2000 and I’m using the dimmer switch on it. First time using it so I went roughly by their recommendations and started at 30” from canopy at 30% for seedlings. Slowly increased to 80% and dropped light to 24” over 6 weeks of veg. Haven’t flipped to flower yet but they vegged great and have been happy the whole time. Another perk is the savings on electricity from using the dimmer as opposed to just raising the lights.

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?Hiya Folks 😊
As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting?
It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent.
My plant has just done 28 days from seed!!
Cheers 😉

Light: much Power less hoursHi everyone,
I'd want to decrease the hours of light to give the plants the impression that winter is coming, but I'd want to add a led to increase the power of the light. Can I apply both this ideas?

Seeds in 12/12Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they startSetup.

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
