Distance from plant to lamp
HappySkunkstarted grow question 4 years ago
I’m growing under a 200W LED light... how close to the light should the seedling be? Right now it’s just about 90cm / 35 inch away from the plant.

If you don't have a lux meter, you can try downloading an app that performs this function to your smartphone. it is not 100% reliable but you can still get an idea if you have a good smartphone. in the first days your seedling needs at least 4000/5000 lux to grow so I advise you to approach the lamp and try with your smartphone to help you adjust the distance.

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periodsI have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?Setup. Lighting

*FC-E4800 Hanging Distance*1st grow -4x4 with 480w Fc-e4800 in early veg (auto) but I am very confused on light distance and dimmer %. Apart from recommended distances, can someone point me to how I can establish the correct height and dimming % required based in the grow cycle? Currently at 30% & 55cm

Maximum / Optimal Lux or FC for LEDs and checking readingsI have a Viaspectra P2500 which is a bit big for my tent but I figured I could dim it and have when I upgrade my tent.
I think I am burning my plants though so I am wondering what the maximum and optimal Lux/FC is for LEDs. I have the Light Meter LM-3200 app with diffuser. Ty

MaximumI have the LM-3100 Light Meter app on my iPhone using a piece of paper to diffuse like it instructs but I am not sure what the optimal Lux/FC should be.
Specifically for LED lights, it is confusing. I have a viaspectra P2590z what’s the max/optimal light?

ViparSpectra P600 or P1000?I'm just starting with a small setup (40x40x100cm tent), only one small plant at the time, but want to be able to grow proper quality in long-term. I suppose the biggest difference between the two lights is the 930 vs 1006 umol/m2/s? Any advise appreciated!Setup. Lighting

Light IntensityHi there! Last week I discovered that plants were very droopy. It was end of the day cycle so I dimmed the lights around 400 ppfd. Normally I would give easily 700-800 for 18 hours. Why is that happening now. Is it that my co2 ppm is very low? is it genetics?a year ago
