it is all about managing your ppfd and DLI - if you are delivering say 300-320ppfd thats alright, if you are delivering 650ppfd that is definitely not cool for a seedling and you're gonna have a bad time, m'kay?
I would say use 1 until they are mature enough to take another light, otherwise you might quickly waste €25

Variables. There are more variables. The Stinkster is right...so either you have 1200w but have that light way up high to chill the PPFD down to a nice reasonable number, or you need to dim and can leave the light down a bit. DLI is light exposure across a day, so it's calculated by figuring out your plant's optimal PPFD in whatever stage (seedling), and the amount of time during the day it's exposed to that light. So a 300PPFD may be just right at 18/6 but will be too much light at 20/4 or 24.

If you have the ability to dim the lamp, set the power to 20-30 percent and gradually increase as the plant grows.

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.

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

LED light recommendationI am going to need a new LED light to hang from the ceiling. I am looking for a light that has the red/blue spectrum. A dimmer switch would be awesome- the ones I read about that include-seedling, veg and flowering settings sound amazing.
Any recommendations out there?
Thanks inSetup. Lighting

Lamp to plant distance: is 40cm enough during flowering phase?Started with 70cm (afraid to "burn" the leaves), but moved it down to 40cm after checking other grow diaries for auto seeds.
Should we keep the lamp ~25-40cm away from the plant from now on?
*Lamp is a 300W LED panel (full spectrum)Week 7
