Mars Hydro FC4800 vs FC-E4800FC4800 = 2016 samsung diodes| 2,8 µmol/j |1347µmol PPE -- FC-E4800= 2646 bridgelux diodes | 2,7 µmol/j |1328µmol PPE
Both are 480watt lights...
Is there a difference between µmol 2,7 and 2,8 when it comes to yield?
Is the FC4800 worth the extra money? Doesn't cost much more

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

Light height full power vs dimmedHi, with light height, does it make a difference to the plant if I'm at full brightness and further away vs dimmed and closer? I'm going to start running out of tent space soon so I'm expecting I'll need to dim in late flower. I think it's ok just looking for assurance :)

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

Light hanging distanceI’m not sure how high to hang my light. My plants seem to be all staying extremely squat and not stretching, though all seem healthy. I’ve been fiddling between 18-28 inches and 600-800 ppfd (ios meter app) and I can’t find a distance that seems to make them happier. D26 autos
