Switched from 600w HPS to a mars hydro tsw2000 and something doesn’t feel right

[Badfinger]

I was kinda forced to buy this one my country just legalized and everything is sold out for months

In the future I will go for a spiderfarmer SE 5000 or a similar product of mars hydro

The 3 white widow and 3 white monster will go outside in the garden and I’m planning to flower 4 plants at the same time in the tent

I will start a grow journal this evening tent and garden combined

I’ve had a account here a couple years ago between 2013-2015 got busted and had to stop for quiet some time I was called ma311 I lost the password and email unfortunately

Thanks for the quick help let’s see how it turns out in a week or 2

I'm sure you'll be puffin on some good smokeable weed in 3 months. Getting a new light is like getting a new wife, its a whole new ballgame.

Photon shows me in the middle already 65dli
And if I crank it up to 100% it goes to 156 dli

The plants on the edges will go outside tomorrow morning I think it would be better for my seedlings if I keep it at 30cm 12inch and 50% and have a lower dli on the edges

I highly recommend using the DLI chart that Dell Boy posted. Many of us use it.

Yes I wrapped a little white sheet around it before it told me to get a defusor

The ppfd readings in the middle were just a bit off of the chart you send
They were about 1850 in the middle 150 higher then the chart says

I'm glad you checked it, I would have had you frying your plants.
Did you say the light was set at 30 inches or 30cm? I thought you said 30 inches.

Yea iPhone needs a diffusor, android does not.

The light is now at 12 inches 30cm and 50% ppfd in the middle is 750 at max and around 300 on the edges

On 100% it goes up to 1800 at 12inch


Will they still strecht if the light if so close?
And I guess if yes I keep moving the light with the plants

The stretch only starts around pre-flower/early flower. and in my experience, not really light related if its an autoflower..
