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.

Mars Hydro TS 1000 [3500K,100W, LED light] (Plants @ 3
Questions: See photos. 1. MARS Hydro TS 1000 will not support 4 cannabis plants, correct? Support = Obtaining full plant potential. 2. The Chinese 3000K lighting won’t “hurt” my plants in veg, right? It’s just simply isn’t the lighting that works for veg growth, yea?

Light burn or nutrient burn?
Hey guys. The tips of my leaves are starting to turn yellow and I’m wondering if this is a nutrient burn or light burn? I lowered my ppm feeding to about 250 a few days ago and am growing in ocean forest fox farm soil. And the light is an optic 2 running just the cobs at 24”.
