answered grow question 3y ago
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

KingBright 240w Meanwell driver relocation
Does anyone know the name of this connector the Kingbright LED boards use and where to buy them? I'm looking to relocate my LED driver but Kingbright wont be able to get me one till August. If I could at least find compatible adapters I can make my own cable out of them.

Kingbrite 240W
Anyone else using Kingbrite 240W lights? I’m running 2 in a 4x4 tent. About 30” from canopy dimmed way down. Just shut 1 off, feels like too much light in early veg. Curious on the lighting distance and intensity during veg and flower

LED light - Veg / Bloom
Hey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on. Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 250w immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!
