i would recomend maybe 25% and keep it 12" at seedling to keep from stretching then up it 50-75% @ 18" veg and then crank it to 100% for flower and use the photone app or get a par meter (if you have the money) to check ppfd and adjust height

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?

Worths investing?Thinking to upgrade my grow with 4 x 15w led bars. 1 on each corner of the grow room, vertically, as secondary lighting to a 400w hps. Does it worth the investment? Price vs yield?

2 or 1 Lightning Are 2x 150 watt lamps as good as one 300 watt lamp? I am thinking about upgrading to 300 watts, I already have a Mars Hydro TS1000 with 150 watts. (in 80x80cm / 2.625x2.625ft.) Thanks for your recommendations growmies😎

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away
