Led to hight?
JacareGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi everyone.
I'm thinking that the Led Light is to high, its around 70 cm from the plants, should I lower it down up to 50/55 or leave like that until Bloom, and on Bloom put it more close?
Some more help on the grow its always appreciated.
They seam really beautiful by now 😃

Hi @jacare111 the power of the lamp is always a factor to take into account.In the vegetative phase of growth they do not need the light so close, and the higher the light, the more your plants will stretch the search for the light source to place at 50cm -120cm depending on the lamp power is more than good at this stage. in the flowering phase, place the led as close as possible to the buds 30cm-40cm always with a pointed bud and be careful not to burn the buds, to check if the led is close to the level of burning or not to put the hand stretched even by on top of the bud with the palm down for 1-2 minutes, if it starts to burn or you feel your hand too hot the same will happen to bud, it is the best way to check. good luck mate 👍🙏

I would not move the light any closer at this point. Seedlings dont need much light and they look really happy right now. The way to tell where your light should be is to watch the plants. If they start to stretch and get a long stem then they are searching for light. Unless you see that happening then I would just leave it how it is. If you get the light too close and burn leaves then it can never be repaired but you can always move the light a little closer to slow down stretch. Good luck with your grow!

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! ThanksWeek 7

Veg/Bloom switchMy plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout.
Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?
