What ppfd do you guys recommend for plants in veg? I’m finding that my light can be too strong at max power even at a 24” distance.

Put your hand under the light at the height of your canopy., if your hand feels comfortable under the light for 1 minute then your girls will be fine. Cheers

Which of the two options do you choose and why: Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft. The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setup

Changing Lighting Schedule The days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12. Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?
