Light distance

Does it have a dimmer ? Also what you can try is download an app to test the lux and ppfd you are getting. Just know that it isnt as accurate as an real lux meter . Dont try to test the blurple but try it on the maxisun. Blurpies and lux meters are not a good combo.

You can use a small screwdriver to dim I had it all the way down. I just think I was to close. Thanks I'll download it.

I bought a maxisun 1,000 watt led .
What distance should I keep it from the canopy? First time growing indoors. 2x2x4 tent. I have 4 plants in it so far and have been using a cheap 300 watt LED. Pic is of one that's the biggest. First time last training as well.

What strain is it. How do you ventilate? How long are you in the process?

Always use your best light, the more modern ones are cheaper to run and throw out better par.

I restarted recently with my old blurple in veg for 2 weeks and now i'm flowering with 2 of these
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqwOjTT 3000K 240w strips and to be honest damn i never saw so much improvment on my plants i think for how it feels that it are real samsung lm301H chips so thats why the light kicks my plant their butts
 
I read your post in another thread, you from UK? I am. Some.of us cannot afford the prices that HLG and say Timber do, or even Lumatek, I honestly wish I had that type of money, the knock off builds look amazing @bk78 build is unbievablly shit hot, hope I got his build right lol. What company did you use btw.

Im in the usa. Not legal state tho. The first LED I bought was supposed to be 300 watt's and it's not strong enough for veg and bloom. So I bought a maxisun Pb1000 and it seems to be to bright. I only have a 2x2x4 tent. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
One of the biggest improvements to my grow is buying an Apogee PPFD meter. Almost all recommendations are way off. My LED setup is perfect at 2.75 feet which is at the high end of recommendations. Before my buds looked stressed and some would foxtail. Yes $600 is a lot, but how much you are wiling to spend for quality is up to you.

Day 27 just got a fan on them now. Strains are supposed to be girl scout cookies,grape ape and strawberry diesel. I'm debating on getting a bigger tent but I plan on ordering an intake and out vent system with carbon filter.

I get things bit by bit, it's okay if you can't afford dear things( save). One guy in here I asked for help, I think when he asked what was my budget and I told him, I think he was crying hahah.

Like most people, I upgrade and I think that's much the same for people here, buy what you can afford, care and attention do more than most things, the right light or lights, medium and temps RH, but out of all these things is care and attention, less is more and Keep It Simple Stupid - KISS, read read read and then read some more, if you haven't got the money to buy say a grow book, download the PDF, watch a video on you tube, just ask and/or write your problem.

Always ask, remember 99% of the peeps here have been where you are now, there is so much to learn. The people on here will help loads just be respectful and kind, can't go wrong, yes people will write a joke yet it's rarely mean, you do get the closet evil sod on here but most people on here are great, stick on here, stay on this site and grow mate, in more ways then one lol no not the munchies.
