Light height
GermanGrows
started grow question 5y ago
Hello all I have a mars hydro tsw 2000. I was noticing the recommended height is 24 inches for seedlings. Is this at 100% intensity? That's well over 1000 ppfd by my meter. I thought seedlings could only handle 200-400?

Hang it at 24 inches and power at 25% 👍 don’t need to turn up to 100% until your into flower. Good luck 💪

About the 1200w light
So I did already in fact order the 1200w led light for the 60x60x140 before asking for advise on it, which was stupid of me. Is it possible to use the light with the door open and fans to decrease hot points?

General question about raising lights.
Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights? Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?
