And drop the light.
At 12" that light is putting out <900µmol which is where cannabis is quite comfortable. The various charts that show giving cannabis 600-800µmol in veg - or worse yet, the silliness that the Photone site talks about - aren't research based. They're very conservative recommendations and/or ignorance.

I believe that's one of the reasons why Shane at Migro sells lights that put out modest amounts of photons. It perplexed me for a while but I saw it as a savvy business move - lower powered lights are cheaper to manufacture and most growers don't know the difference. I can understand that as a business strategy. But Shane also has done videos about "How much light does cannabis need?" and his recommendations were not in line with published research. The guy is an EE so he's got some smarts so something just didn't set right with me.
Then I watched Shane interview Bugbee about light (it's on YouTube). When Bugbee says get plants to 1kµmol, you can see Shane just stop. To me, he looks, honestly, shocked but he recovers and asks the question again, expecting a different answer. Bugbee comes right back saying do the ton. Shane expresses his surprise and moves on to another question.
OK, he honestly didn't know. Now he does. And he hasn't changed the design of Migro Aray lights.
The OP can leave his lights at 50% and will have a happy plant and cop a few ounces. On the other hand, if he turns up the dial, he'll
probably more weed. For me, I'll be damned if I'm going spend 3 months of my life to grow 4 ounces of weed. I'm 67 years old (68 in a few months) so I don't have that many more grows left. Plus, I've put a shitton of money and time into my equipment and processes so, for me, if I don't get a pound out of a grow, I consider it a failure.
Again, it's how the grower wants to do it. I just hate to see people putting their heart and soul into a grow and getting a couple of baggies worth when they can lower the light a few inches and end up wondering "what do I do with all this weed?"
Two plants, one grow.
I'm not saying a grower will get this kind of yield just by turning up the dial but I am quite sure that if a grower doesn't turn up the dial then he
won't get this.
