Thanks buddy should I start at like 50% power since not even 2 weeks old yet? It was like a spotlight on my roof 9’ up when I was testing it!

30ish in veg 24 to 18 in flower.

Thanks but that was tech a question??

sorry i had a brain fart,and some silly reason i thought cobs the 5 leds that ive had only had full power,or a veg/bloom switch.it was full blast.
hanging height most led manufactorers quote the same thing.but as everyones cupboard/tent is different sizre and different reflective stuff on walls.its more a play around with it a bit and see.
my light gn0006 start seedlings off about 85cms let the plant grow into the light,but not closer than 30cms.

Thanks buddy! Ya I deleted that message since it updated and showed responses after I wrote it so deleted! And ya these have a dimmer wired in to take it to maybe like 25% power cuz mad bright on full blast!

I think I will cheat and use hlg website for their recommendations on hanging height! Mine didn’t come with one.

Ok the ladies were giving me the evil eye for disturbing their sleep so got the lights setup and will move cooler and bust out the tape measure tomorrow (actually later today)! Had to put power at 50% cuz I didn’t wanna smart smoking em already!!

Found a cheapo tds meter here I didn’t know I had and my nasty tap water sits at 8.1ph and 256ppm out the faucet! Gonna buy me a pur water pitcher I believe! More cost effective than buying distilled water.

Any advice would be helpful so @Arthur @archie gemmill @420Forever @Machamillion or anyone else that pops in... should I bother with topping either of these or just let em go and tie em down? If just tie when should I start? Today is 14th day from being transplanted into soil!
