Adjust-a-Wings also make Super Spreaders to go with with their high quality adjustable reflectors which dissipate both light and heat more evenly preventing “hot spots”. Thus allowing for closer proximity to the canopy.

@highdrogrower5007 6 жыл бұрын

A lot of good information👍 I usually adjust the lights according to stretch or heat stress, if the plant is showing signs of stretch I'll lower the light and leave it for 24 hours. If it's showing signs of heat stress I'll higher the light and leave it for 24 hours, and a good isolatating fan blowing between the lights and the top of the canopy lets me get the light that little bit closer.

But light intensity in LED could also burn the leaves without necessarily an increase of temperature, so the method of messuring temperature would be better with HPS?

Measure leaves temperature...so damn easy, yet I didn't figure it out by myself. I replaced CFL with LED, went to full power 100% and started to wonder why my leaves went yellow, lost chlorophyl, and even became white (basilium). Since my growbox was too low in height, I went back to CFL ! Funny, isn't it ? It seems that LEDs are NOT always better than CFL, even 200W CFL.

Are lux or FC measurements of any use with grow lights? With LEDs they don't give off much heat so surely that's not a reliable way to suss the height?

@MIGROLIGHT 5 жыл бұрын

Lux measurements ar not accurate for photosynthetic light, they do not measure red and blue light properly. As LED's don't give off too much heat they can be closer to the plants. Your skin is a good guide to physical heat detection and when it is too hot for life.

@arahant69 2 жыл бұрын

I think just put your Temperature & Humidity Meter probe at the base of your plants and as long as the temperature is between 22-26 your be fine with the height especially if your dimming your leds to 70w at seedling stage and increasing it to 140w 210w 285w as the plant gets more hardy (telos 10 pro mesh) saves on electric and vegg'ing the plant you don't need as much electric or those red leds on. So height varies depending on wattage. I guess leds are slightly different to hid/hps lights but they say plants like a tent to be 22-26 degrees c so if your probe says 25 at the base of the stem your about right.
