It depends on what bulb you bought? They range from 250 to 600 w, check the watts and then set the Lumotec transformer to the right frequency. ATTENTION A 250-400₩ LIGHT cannot operate at 600 w even if the transformer goes up to 600w !!!!!! I would go for a 600 w HPS FOR THE ENTIRE PHASE OF THE PLANT, cheers!

Plants Growing Taller Than Light My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

Bloom Light Supplement I am a one plant windowsill grower, but having trouble getting enough light for bloom due to cloudy days. I have a three prong red/Blue LED light off Amazon, Wakyme, that is not cutting it. Would this lamp work? Two bulbs. I will have to suspend it from a clothes rack.

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto? Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so? I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow. Thanks!

Too little light I have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.

2 Lampen I ordered a lamp from Amazon, it probably won't have super performance, but I thought if I ever do flowering and still have a few seedlings, I could separate them. What do you think about that? Right now, it's just serving as support.

Light height Hello all I have a mars hydro tsw 2000. I was noticing the recommended height is 24 inches for seedlings. Is this at 100% intensity? That's well over 1000 ppfd by my meter. I thought seedlings could only handle 200-400?

Leaves "praying" after lowering the lamp I am in week 4th of flowering Laughing Buddha, 220W LED ~60cm from tops. Today I have lowered the lamp and the leaves started "praying", on one (higher) plant the other, mostly-indica Holy Punch seems unaffected. I am curious, is there too much light or sweet spot and it's good?
