Hello I’m new to growing.I have 2 x lumatek 600 pro’s in a tent 1.5 x 3m and was wondering what distance the lights should be from the plants and at what power?I’m growing autos. I’ve seen online that they should be approximately 80cm from the plants but is that at full power

Get a LUX meter from Amazon. This tool is very important.
Seedling(s): 9-15k
Veg: 15-25k
Flower: 30-45k (I do 40k until the bud is fully formed than I do 45k)
Try not to go over 55k LUX while in Flower, It could bleach your buds and also possibly give you foxtails especially with LED's.

dimmer / hours of light adjusted based on growth patterns --- if too stretchy, apply more or longer. if too tight, dim or reduce hours.

distance from canopy should be more about proper light distribution. use dimmer from there or hours of light.
assuming ambient co2, 35-40 DLI is what you want to shoot for.
DLI is best way to communciate this because it is the same regardless of any difference in garden size or hours of light. Daily Light Integral -- good thing to learn. (umol/s ppfd, par - good to know gist of these things)

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growingHi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing.
Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering.
However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight)
Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?
