Light heights, & intensity seedling to flower

[wutang]

Hey @Invisible Sun

I'd like to know the same. Also for the 530 that I've got ready to go in my 1.2x.1.2m tent. I've got the far red too and not exactly sure on timings on when to turn on and off?

I correctly use a t5 twin set up for seedlings under a propagator. Would your ish150 be suitable to replace this for seedlings. Im coming from HPS so want to make sure I get it right.

Thank you

Hey wutang

The far red should only be used for 15 minutes at lights off.

The main light is probably a bit strong for seedlings so I'd dim it right down which will take you to about 60w then maybe position it about 22-30 inches away, start at 30 inches I'd say.

Cheere @Invisible Sun

So is that 15mins after lights off...or the last 15mins before lights off?

Going to get everything set tonight so thats helped massively. Thank you

Hey @Invisible Sun can you help me please?

My lights off are 12pm and lights on is 6pm

Right now the far red comes on at 11:45 and goes off at 12pm when the lights go out. Is that right? Im still in veg, can this still be used or is it purely for flowering stages?

Both lights the 530r and the far red are 40" from canopy at the moment. 530r at 20% on the dimmer. Thank you

Yeah that sounds about right sir. The far red can be used in veg yes

I've got a question Mr invisible sun I have your 150 br eclipse I also have a Mars hydro ts 1000 which are similar lights how high should your br be from the tops of plants in flower the ts is never a problem but the eclipse even 6 inches further away burns the plants even shocks the top buds into seeding I know this is my problem not the light I haven't got a par meter so I can't check like that ps the ts is usually about 15 inches from canopy thanks in advance

Less is more sir.

So in terms of hanging height aim for 22 inches but then dim the light to under 50% in veg. Only increase to 100% in full flower after the stretch transition..
