78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?
I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! Thanks

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6β) that would be too much so Iβm running the lights at 50% power and at 12β away

Too much light ?
So started my second run and got everything dialed in but this time Iβm running with spf-1000D and the normal spf-1000 is that too much light for the plants that would slow them down ? Together the lights should be around 200w

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)
Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat? HLG 100RSpec:0 / XS1000: (on sale this weekend)

Lighting question
I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isnβt enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Light height and intensity
Hello all. Recently I upgraded my lights to 2 mars tsw 2000. I've noticed my plants are growing slowly compared to everyone else's. I have it set at 24 inches 25%. However a mars hydro admin posted 12 inches 75% during veg? Isn't that like 1500 ppfd? I'm so confused.

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?) Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?
I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.
