Place them under the light as soon as possible imo, its really not that much of a difference in pricing if you run the light at 25% power for 2 weeks.

Asap, I understand you want to save money. But led lights are so efficient you won't notice the difference in electric bill during first 2 or 3 weeks. Lower light to 20-40% depending on how strong and powerful the light is. Then lower it to its recommended hanging height. Your plant will receive more light and longer hours this way and will give it the best growth, this stage is CRITICAL to get a good yield. You don't want to starve your plant on light! Goodluck and please consider me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate it growmie 🙏 😃

Pretty soon. It will get better quality light once you have it under led. Plus longer hours. Otherwise the plant will look scraggly and like crap in the window over time.

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.

Secondary Lighting Would there be any sort of reason I shouldn't add a second less powerful light to the side of my tent? My thought is if my goal is getting more light to the lower growth wouldn't that be a good course of action?

Zu hohe Temperatur?Ich bin jetzt das erste mal in meinem Leben am growen, und bin in der zweiten Blütewoche. Auf englischen Seiten geben grower an, dass die perfekt Temperatur für die Blüte bei 84-85 Fahrenheit liegt, das bedeutet ca. 29 Grad. Seht ihr das genauso?

How to switch to flowering It's been about 5 weeks from germination. I think we're ready to switch to flowering. I'm just not certain on how to go about it. Do I gradually reduce 18/6 of the veg light down to 12/12 (over a week?) then pop in the flower bulb? Or do I just make a hard switch?

Floodlight for bloom supplement I have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)

Can you use a 450 watt white led light to start seedlings? If so what distance should the light be and when should I make it closer? The reason I am asking this is because I don’t like transplanting autos as they are fragile to transplanting from what I’ve looked up

LUX meter grow question Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000 I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?
