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 š š

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.

Hight ProblemsIāve got 3 plants in my tent, but theyāre all different heights. To compensate, Iāve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. Itās my first indoor grow with this setup and Iām still learning :)

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So Iām in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. Iām curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. Iām running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

Help with issues IDI have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.
