When to turn LED to max power?!
Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 3 years ago
Depends on hang height obviously, but your diary says 24”.. I’d have that SF1000 at 100% at that height. I highly recommend this app called “Photone” if you have to spend.. it’s quite accurate for giving you a PPFD - which you want at least 500 and closer to 800-1000 in flower..

When I was running 2 TS1000 in a 2x2x4 I never turned them below 100%
I started at 32 inches and brought it down every other day till it was 20 inches and then raised the light as the plant grew.
Now I run the 2 TS1000 and a Master Pursuit 500w CMH from growers choice. They all stay at 100% and I let my plants grow into the lights now at the very top of a 4x4x6.5
If you want short bushy plants with close nodes you want to be 20-24 inches at 100% the entire veg, then for flowering 16-20 inches. If your plant can take the heat and light during flowering then 12 inches.
Everyone grows different. Some like some stretch and others dont.
If you grow a specific strain a few times and Master that strain and light, you'll learn how much you can push a plant and what you can do and get out of it.

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?Other.
