Which led? leds are not even close to the same. 200 watts can be dramatically different from one light to the next.

answered grow question 5y ago
anywhere from 12" in flower (depending on your diodes) to 24" in flower... (depending on the diodes).. A safe veg height could be anywhere from 20"-36" .. Need to know the brand and model name of the led if you want advice about it.

24/7 lighting autos
24/7 lighting on autos?? Thinking of giving it a shot, any reason not to? Would be easier on some of my equipment keeping that stable environment. Not worried about electric usage. How important is a dark cycle?

Please help me understand LEDs as mains. Same amount of money I can run double the plants and produce larger sticky buds with hps/mhl combo. I was always under impression LEDS are a just a better florescent.

Is 500 ppfd on new seedlings ok?
My light dimmer only lowers to 500 ppfd. I’m starting autoflower seedlings in a space tote before I move them into my perpetual harvest tent. I’m currently propping the light on its side so that the indirect light only hits around 300-400, as an attempt to reduce light bleaching.

I had the light the past few weeks 30cm over the plant on 100% wich has 930ppfd in 20h duration it was all together 65 DLI. I want to force the strech from now. Do you think i should raise the light up tp 50cm over the plant? The plant made nearly 20cm within the past weeks.

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 250w immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?
I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?
Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?
