Na man thats perfect.the more the better.just keep them around 48 inches away until your girls are 12 inches or so then lower it to around 30 inches until the bud.then wait about two weeks then lower to around. 18 inches away.the bigger the light means the more coverage you will have when you lower your lights to 18 inches

It's actually the opposite.. That light will not be enough for your tent(very poor actually coverage) and like @Shagrath mentioned older technology. You can use it in the mean time.. Hopefully you didn't pay a lot.

Hi mate!
I found the manufacturer of this lamp and here are the details: https://szsaidi.en.alibaba.com/product/62075837454-806203303/1200W_LED_Grow_Light_Full_Spectrum_Grow_light_with_UV_IR_for_Greenhouse_Hydroponic_Indoor_Plants_Veg_and_Flower.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.41413.20.246631a00UB9Wa
True power is 500W so it might be powerful enough. I'm not sure about the quality of the leds and the amount of heat that his thing produces. This lamp is old tech so you might experience some heat problems but if you have good ventilation there should not be nothing to worry about. I had old 315W led in my tent with 200W from COB leds and I was struggling with the heat 'cos it was almost 30C.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
