Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Gazeyestarted grow question 3y ago
Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

Light distance for SeedlingsMy question is my 2 seeds have popped out and I am using 3- 8.5 watt 5000K LED lights to light them up. Both plants are under humidity domes so how far should I put the lights above them? I have them in a make shift grow tent for now as my regular tent is finishing up a grow.Setup. Lighting

Too little lightI have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.6y ago

Autoflower 24hrs of light?AUTOFLOWER - I checked on my seedlings this morning, and the temp in the tent dropped to 9 degrees celsius during the night. My light puts off a bit of heat. Am I better to run the light 24hrs and maintain a warmer temp, or give them a few hrs of darkness and risk dropping temp?6y ago
