Light intensity in veg - Help needed!
arg_weedloverstarted grow question 5y ago
I have a 4x4 Tent (120x120cm) with 16 Autos and run a 480W 3.5K LED at ~55 % at a dist. of 40-48 cm (1.3-1.5 feet).
Lux: 20-26k. They are tall with up to 14 cm (0.45 feet).
What would be the right light density in week 2-3?
Ideas? Plz help! THX

Bro, in the vegetative stage, the plant needs between 400 to 600 ppfd for optimal growth.

Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

LED's wont shut completely offLights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.

Can a 1000w LED grow light be closer than 60cm (24") to a seedling?Different sources are saying: 1000w LED light should not be closer to a seedling than 60-75cm (24"-30"). The seedling should be getting 5000-7000 lux, 100-300 PAR (PPFD 18h) and 12-20 DLI.
Question: Can I put the light closer at ~40cm, dimmed to match the needed lux, par and dli

Flower LightDo you think this would be a good flowering light (on a budget) for a 4’x4’x80” - 1000 watt (5 plants - indoors - all hybrids ... if that matters)

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLIlux, ppfd, and dli. While doing this, I realized that it’s hard to have a ppfd between 500 and 1000 for the seedling phase without exceeding the famous 7000 lux. We’re more like approaching 25000 lux if we want to reach the desired ppfd for this phase. How do you do it?Setup. Lighting
