No, It is powerful. I don't have a PAR meter. What can anyone tell me about Lumens or Foot Candle measurements and their relation to distance from canopy. I was just trying to keep plant or in this case the soil surface (since the are seedlings at an inch or so high) temps below 85 degrees.this sounds like a seriously powerfull light if at 5 feet away and running 20% and seedlings still not happy.have you another light they could sit under for a couple of weeks ?
I'll have to get a meter to see what the actual watts are but it is suppose to be btwn 650 and 675 true watts at full power. Not too much more than yours. Are you saying that you can't use your light at full intensity because your plants just stop growing?
Oh no they fully grew but it was affecting them negatively in other ways...I was giving them a lot of nutes at the time,it was in the 90s in hottest part of summer in the tent,a lot of variables,at one point...so I backed off and everything seems good...But for my 4x4 tent I don’t know if they even need it at full power at least in summer... This next grow I have to play with it again ya know?
Appreciate it Dude, we got lucky. Others are hurtin' real bad.
That is called damping off; it is usually caused by too wet of conditions. There are various bacteria and/or fungi that can cause it.
