Starting to see some action from my seedlings! Right now I’m running them under a HLG 650r Diablo. It’s 630 watt LED and I have it running at 20% at about 21” from soil Temps are around 71-74 and the 50%. The Purple Pineapple from Exotic Genetix popped first and the Amoretto Sour from Seed Junky is almost there. If anyone has any tips or advice to a novice grower that would be great. I’m just looking to get some good, clean smoke :bigjoint:posting my pics so if they look off please mention :)

I thought the same.. I had it on 30% and just turned the light down before making this post.. I might even back it up to 24” from 21”

Your fixture is capable of generating a shit-ton of photons.
I'm in the same situation in my main grow, so monitoring and adjusting light intensity will be pretty important.
Seedlings need very little light at first, so once you get at least a few new nodes popping I'd slowly ramp up intensity.
That fixture should work well with at least 20" above the canopy and 50% power during veg.
Get a simple(or expensive) light meter so you can get repeatable settings on intensity and then adjust based on what your plants are telling you they want.
Too much intensity will usually show as various nute def/tox on the new growth.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll try to see what they tell me as I go
