Wattage and distance from plant
timbarinstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hi all. I need an advice about the height and wattage I should apply to my automatic plants . They are on 18/6 schedule
This is a new grow. The plant is at day 8. The lights are at 60 cm and each led is set to 80w totaling 160w in a 60x60x160cm grow tent.

Hey there Timbarin, you can get much much closer with your lights, try something like 40cm and just raise it as the plant grows , it seems too close, but that's how it is supposed to be. Hope this helps ! π

Personally, I have adopted a method of leaving the light on full intensity and placing the light as high as I can. I use a similar size space, yet a little taller. I have noticed a difference in plant health, keeps the temps pretty level and humidity is ok. You are using a higher wattage of light than me so maybe 75-80% at first and raise it as you go into flower. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

LightingWow. Thank you so much for the reply. I have been playing with LUX meter app and my light. I was bit skeptical about the lumens that I would get from the 15W but as it turns out, it receives well enough ppfd. Still skeptical about the spectrum i am having.Week 2

Is your machine helper leaking light?Everyone has their ACs and dehumidifiers and whatnot machines in the grow space. Are you covering every little light of those machines in the flowering chamber? Many hermies will be avoided with some aluminium tape. Stay safe, cover those lights and grow ganja!

light dilemmaWhen shine only with flower light, i reach 20,000 lux units in the buds area. But when i turn both lights on at once, both the growth and bloom spectre, the lux units increase to 65,000. I wonder if the extra growth light will affect the flowers that are already blooming. Thanks.Setup. Lighting
