Hello.
I have a 4x4 grow tent. (first time indoor grow)
Till yesterday i had lumatek attis 300w led grow light. It was good for veg, but for flowering it has too small footprint. It's more suitable for 3x3.
So I upgraded to lumatek 600W pro.
It says its suitable for 5x5 grow tent.
Actualy it fits in my tent just barely
Now i need to figure it out on what height should i put the light and on how much power in %.
Recommended distance is around 12 inches..
At 12 inches i measured:
On 75% power i get around 38k lux
On 100% power i get around 51k lux
Recommendations from RQS are between 45 and 60k lux. But definitely not above 75k
I can achieve this lux by lowering the height.
I can get to 70k lux on 75% and 100%
On 75% you have to get few inches away to get 70k lux.
This means less energy consumption which is good.
But is it smart to place the light 3 inches away?
What would you guys recommend here?
