Start at 36"inches and work your way to 18" as the plant grows.

Would there be any sort of reason I shouldn't add a second less powerful light to the side of my tent? My thought is if my goal is getting more light to the lower growth wouldn't that be a good course of action?

Lighting Horsepower
I have a Horticultural Lighting Group 260 QB V2 R Spec light (260 watt LED). I previously had a 20" x 36" tent and the light was great. I have just gotten a 36" (91cm) x 36" (91cm) tent and wondering if this is enough power for great production or if more light would be better?

Single CF Grow COB LED (300 W) sufficient for one plant?
Would like to know your thoughts on my 300-W COB LED (www.amazon.de/dp/B07Z678V5) I’m using in open space on a single plant. I’m not expecting huge yields with this lamp, but I am hoping it will be sufficient to bring a healthy plant to harvest.

LUX meter grow question
Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

Anyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights? I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower them
