Viparspectra P2000 height and intensity

For those that have experience with the light I'm using, Viparspectra P2000, how high and what intensity percentage should I have it? Currently I'm at 21" at 75% power. Also, I run it 24/7. I have an app on my phone and it says my DLI is at like 56 which seems way too high.

For the Viparspectra P2000 LED light, the height and intensity settings can depend on the growth stage of your plants and the specific light requirements. However, here are some general guidelines: Height: During the vegetative stage, keep the light higher, around 24-30 inches above the canopy. In the flowering stage, you can lower it to around 18-24 inches, adjusting as needed based on plant response. Intensity: Vegetative stage: 60-80% intensity Flowering stage: 80-100% intensity Light Schedule: While a 24/7 light schedule can work, many growers prefer a 18/6 (18 hours on, 6 hours off) or 12/12 (12 hours on, 12 hours off) cycle to mimic natural daylight and allow plants a resting period. DLI (Daily Light Integral): DLI of 56 is relatively high. A DLI of 30-40 is often recommended for the vegetative stage, while 40-50+ is suitable for flowering. If your plants are showing signs of stress (e.g., light burn or heat stress), you may need to reduce either the light intensity or duration. Happy growing🍀

I just bought a Vipar P2000 for my 4x2 tent and me and the girls love it! Seeing that you are only a week behind my grow, I can tell you that I hung mine at 16” above the canopy at 75% during the veg. I am switching them to flower this week. I have turned the light to 100% but left the distance the same until Monday. Then, I will keep it at 100% and decrease the distance. From the research I did before buying it, I think it performed the best at 19” above the canopy. There are quite a bit of reviews out there you might want to check out for this bad ass light. I know that isn’t a lot to go on but I hope it helps. Happy growing!

Growing them with distance of 75 cm and 50 percent and 18 hours. IS totally enough I can already See older light scars,from toasing them If you Go with that dli all other components sould fit too Means another faster draining Growmedium , more water and a fitting Formula feeding Look for bruce bugbee on YouTube...

FYI those phone apps are useless, not even remotely accurate. Even the lux measurements aren't even close to accurate, nevermind the dli.

Coverage Area】Actual power draw is 200W. Perfect for 4’x3’ vegetative coverage at 16” and 4’x2’ flowering coverage at 13.5”. Remember to properly adjust the height and brightness accordingly to your plants desired level for optimal growth. The fixture provides coverage to the 3.5 'x 3.5' vegetative area and 3' x 3' to the flowering area when mounted at 20'' away from the canopy. I think the next bit of info we need is how big is the tent. At different heights it will have different coverage areas. As far as DLI, tell me what your light cycle is, on how long, and tell me what ppfd your phone reads, also make sure you have the correct light setting within the app you're using.
