Pal. At 450w. You shoulda be running at 25% for the 1st week. You shouldn't have to exceed 50% for your whole veg with such a high powered light. So I'd say she's at a right setting now.
No need to use more watts that's not needed.
Good luck

Wrong power cable in my LED light: still light when switched down off.Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!Week 16

Uncommon brand LED lamp distanceI have the following lamp:
LED Alien strippanel 630W, full spectrum, PPF 1700 umol /s, efficacy 2.7 umol/J
Does anyone have the same?
I have some issues on understanding the distance from canopy, the specifications say 15.2cm above it, but honestly it seems too close.Week 1

Should I lower my light during flowering?I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.Week 5

Effect of light only? Really?These girls same strain (strawberry cough photo), born on same day, same medium same feeding except the one on the right was removed from the light about 3 weeks ago and put outside. I thought dark green from nutes, seems the light alone makes such a difference? 45 watt LEDSetup. Lighting

Light Distance - 3 plants are taller than the others...Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM ratherWeek 5
