Go check out Scynce light recipes and whatnot if you’re interested in how people run LEDs throughout the grow. HPS will do you a lot better than cheap LEDs too.

That synceled looks amazing, how many plants would you expect to get underneath the dragon alpha, not too good with measurements

Just depends on what route you go down. I’d scrog four under it, but if you go SOG or just grow more upright plants you can fit more. I’ve seen people killing it with two of those in a 5’x5’ tent. The guys at that company are super cool with answering questions and whatnot too.

Always check with the manufacturer. Different LEDs will have different components that may require different hanging heights. Saying that, most of these new style units with the 3umol/J red and white diodes normally perform best between 40/70cm

I think that makes the most sense and she seems to be accepting it cheers, I even moved the plant and the fan closer, now at 12 inch lol. I'm monitoring it frequently to be safe but back of hand test is fine, these lights are most likely a bit less than half its true watt need to test it or change lightsCaptain Beefheart wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:16 amimho....get the lights as close as ewe can without burning them. mine atm are about 15" above the canopy but ive got my blower fan blowing downwards hanging off the ceiling,as long as the plant accepts the lamp + aint suffering the closer the better.

According to Amazon page it draws 110-115w.potentcheesydick wrote:I think that makes the most sense and she seems to be accepting it cheers, I even moved the plant and the fan closer, now at 12 inch lol.

So it probably draws a 100w.
Get it closer

How's that for close haha, back of hand test is still okay, thanks for doing something I was too lazy to do bro and these leds are supposed to be 600w as well, quite a big gap between true watt and advertised watt, aside from over training her no wonder she's so small
