Dialing in FC-E6500

Hey!πŸ‘‹πŸ˜Ί. I have a question about distance for anyone using the FC-E6500 (no meter). All the lit. we've found says 12" the entire grow and simply adjust the dimmer throughout plant stages. This really doesn't sound right to me. We're now at 13"/50% (12"/75% was too much) TY!❀️🌱

that's a heavy duty LED light. 650W is powerful. I think that the 12" hang height has something to do with how the spread of light is emitted from the lamp itself. eg 100% at 50" is less even in the canopy then 40% at 12" if you where to look at it in a PPFD map layout. I use a 300W led setup and I hang them aorund 12-18" but they are 100% on all the time no dimmer and they are not as efficient as your light.. so 650W at 40-50% at 13" does not seem to far off to me. and I would continue going with that. Can always bounce it up 5% and see how the plants react. The hand test is a good option. place you hand where the canopy is and if it feels to hot on your hand its to hot for the plants, warm is perfect. Good Luck! === Seems I have a fake troll account trying to cause shit by emulating me. They even went as far as to copy my profile picture and response to there troll lol.

High, I would start 20" distance on 100% power. You can lower an inch every other day. When you see the first signs of heatstress (when the highest leaves take the shape of a taco) switch back the the previous distance and this is your perfect distance! Happy Growing! πŸ˜‹

Hi, grannie said you need help. Try a free light meter app if you can't buy a cheap one, check out Daily Light Integral for guidance on figures. You can rough guess height from manufacturer PAR footprint figures at set heights. Old fashioned hand between tops and light and not getting scorching test is also good. Nice light and good choice.
