2 1000w LEDs to much for seedlings

Plant level for light measurements :thumbsup: If i deciphered this I got light at 25% its 79️61% humidity correctly, might turn it up a bit until you get closer to 20000 on the lux meter when read at the plant

Sorry 79°f and humidity 61% the lux at plant level is 5802 up against light is 36680 lux
 
5800 is too low... get close to 20000 on the lux meter and see how they do .. temps and humidity are good
I got another led but doesn't have dimmer it's way brighter and lux is 21902 at plant level. But other light is built for cannabis. The one that reads 17040.

Here's what the cannabis led light offers. It says 30 inches at 100% in veg mode. I got it at 24 will it be ok even though lux is 17000? And they say 30 inches.

Now temp is 82°f and 65% humidity since I turned light up.and is there enough air in the tent if I seal it all the way turn ventilation fan on and there is two fans and humidifier going. Is that cool or should I open for some ventilation but that makes humidity drop.

Now it's at 59%humidity now it's to low should I turn off ventilation fan to let humidity rise. I don't have to have it on do I❓and do you think water once a day just spray not till run off❓

i barely have the exhaust fan on as a seedling, then gradually raise it as the plants get larger and need more new air .. and u need a vent open for new air exchange.

as far as watering goes... mist the inside of the domes when you don't see any moisture on them. No need to water anything as the domes keep the soil around the seed moist. when the seeds sprout , i remove the domes within 24 hours.

Do the best you can to dial in the environment .. it takes practice. Aim for 78 to 81f and 60 to 65%rh.

It's not rocket science.. closer to hand grenades. Just need to be close, not exact. :thumbsup:
 
Would that be at plant level or up against light? 20k I don't have a iphone I got light at 25% its 79️°f 61% humidity. That is hanging 24 in above at 25% 120w. Again thanks...is this good. One plant looks a little sick. They've been stressed now I got everything they should be ok for now. 1st one has a light green looks as if wants to turn yellow. 2nd pic is a good deep green. I don't know if I'm over watering them or what.
Each of the lights you have is good for 1 mature plant, at 12-18 inches. You have 2 babies in very small pots and 1 of those lights is more than enough at 18 inches. Your height is good, but unplug one light. You're wasting a ton of energy and money. There are some really good replies in this thread that will get you lined out.
