Canopy clearance
RGGROWstarted grow question 8 hours ago
I'm growing a photoperiod and been using the SF1000d light. Having to run the light much closer to the canopy than suggested during the entire process. I'm in flower currently and she still looks healthy as close as 6 inches from the light. Is this normal? Is my light below spec?

depends, if the plant is growing well and not showing signs of light stress or nodes being to tight it could just be the strain or it could mean your lights a bit off. but it is only 100W. assuming your dimmer is set to 100%? that model may not have the dimmer on it though. so if you can measure how many watts its pulling from the wall will also tell you how well its working. should be pulling around 100W if not, then its not working right.
I would guess that 6" is a bit to close but never used that light. recommended hang height is 12-18" for a 2x2 in flower
Your plant looks a bit compact to me, I would say you could raise the light a bit. but its not crazy bunched up.

You're doing the right thing, listening to what the plant is saying and not the specs made by the light seller who never ever popped a bean :)
It's a 100w light which is a on the scrappy side for a 2x2 tent, keep it as close as you can while still covering the entire plant and make the most of it. And like the other guy said do check if it's on max.
If you wanna grow some real nasty drippin' trichs in there, add another light or two :)

1 light or 2I have recently purchased a Mars hydro SP 3000. Great light.. It replaces my Blurple Mars hydro exo 120. I wanted to ask what peoples opinions are about me using both lights for veging. My grow space is not that big. 1.8m x 0.8m and 2.35m high. Will it be too much light and heat?Setup. Lighting

LED Wattage confusion!?!?!?!?!In a few days, I will be putting these into a 4ftx4ft grow tent. Im a little concerned as my Lights say 1000w but on further research, it says actual wattage 140. does this mean I only have 280w and is that going to be enough?Week 3

Plants Growing Taller Than LightMy plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?Week 9

Plug timer running fastMy plug timeris running about 10 fast each 24hr. And is now at about 2 hours past the actual time. This causes the light cycle to shift forward slightly everyday. Should I set it back to the correct time, leave it be or buy a new one? It is plugged vertically in wall socket.Week 4
