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

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.

Hi quick question, Purchasing 50x50x100 tent Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2. Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)

Posible quemadura?
Cada vez que entro en floración me pasa esto y no encuentro solución. Uso una tienda de 1,20 x 1,20 y tengo un led de 730w empiezo a pensar que la luz es demasiado potente y las plantas sufren de calor. Hubo dos dias en los que llegó a 32 grados actualmente estoy en 29/30

Better temperature for early veg
In auto flower indoor, Early veg, is better have 18ºC/24ºC, or stai around 23°C during all the day. I have an Inkbird that I can set on 23, that is cool when is light off, it warm it up. But with light off it’s drop down temperature to 23.

Height Spider Farmer SE3000 week 5 flower
PAR increased to 600 PPFD, done by lowering the light to 35 cm above canopy. What do you think? is that too low? I'm using a Spider Farmer SE3000 (300 Watt). Anybody experience with this light? How high did you hang it from week 5 of flower to the end?

Hight Problems
I’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants. My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?
Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower. I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good 🤷♂️🏼

Light upgrade.
I m thinking of moving away from my mars 144 to the mars ts1000 mainly for white light over pink. Is the ts1000 a good light and worth it. Compared to the mars 144?

If I move 3wk old S.Diesel & Critical from 18hrs💡indoors to outdoors where they'll get +/-11hrs direct🌞. Is there still a risk of them going into flower even though they're still babies? I really don't want this to happen. They'll be in the woods so no chance to add extra light
