Mate,. Check your additional papers u got from SF.. Every decent light producer deliver a ppfd map, where u can see at what distance what light intensity you have.. When u combine it with the PAR Values we know for the different stages, then u can calculate a distance between plant and light...
Rough PAR values r:
Germination, Seedling:100-300
Veg: 300-700
Bloom: 700-....
Hope this helps, Servus 🤞

In vegging you should have the dimmer dialed to about 30 to 50 percent. Too much light the plant won't grow as fast. It is able to absorb what it needs with what foliage it has. Less light stimulates growth making the plant grow more leaves to catch the light it needs. Making plant bigger.

I have the same version from Mars hydro.
I’d hang at about 24-30 inches and let the plant grow towards it. Shouldn’t have to mess with it much until flower.
It looks good for week 3 I’d say. No worries there

This is your par map. want to keep it aorund 300 for a seedling.

I'd guess hanging that light around 30" would help.
This is a good resource for finding hanging height.

I'm guessing if you can dim it, probably around 50% at around 28 inches.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,
