Search online for Daily Light Integral (DLI) chart. The chart shows PPFD and hours per day. Then you can pick the light level based on how many hours you run the light.

Light height
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?

Voost VST240
Looking for a good budget light for a 4x4 grow. The Voost VST240 looks like a fantastic spec but no real information out there that I can find. Any users? Also considering a Migrow Array when the bigger version hits the market.

Light source change stress?
Can changing light source cause stress to your plant? Yesterday I changed from a CFL to a 150w Mars Hydro LED and this morning she looked a bit "sad". I took the photo straight after watering hence the damp soil.

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.

Auto and regular plants in one box.
I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

Light distance
Hi everyone, what distance from the light to the plant is recommended to start the vegetative period? I see many different measurements on the internet. In this case, it's for some automatic Red Poison plants, with a 360W LED light.

Will the change from indoors to out trip my plants into flowering?
Hi, Guys, I plan to move my plants outdoors next week. Will the change in the light schedule trip them from veg to flower? I really don't want this. They're currently @ 3 weeks on 18hrs indoors and outdoors they'll be getting 11hrs direct sunlight. Also, they're photo's not autos

Single CF Grow COB LED (300 W) sufficient for one plant?
Would like to know your thoughts on my 300-W COB LED (www.amazon.de/dp/B07Z678V5) I’m using in open space on a single plant. I’m not expecting huge yields with this lamp, but I am hoping it will be sufficient to bring a healthy plant to harvest.

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?
I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.
