APQ 300 light make my plants droop? 1 st time grower !

[BigPapaTyler]

Got a new light, seems to make my plants droop? Just wondering if y’all had any ideas?

How close is it and does it have a dimmer?

New light may need 2-3 days to adapt if the differences in ppfd are unusually high

You want to start slow with new, more powerful lights. Ease into it with the dimmer or hanging height. You are doing the right thing reading your plants, they will tell you what they need.

Doesn’t have a dimmer from what I can tell! And I had it about 16 inches away.. I went back to my old light for now, will post pics later today to see how they did!

I would start with the new light 30 inches away for the first couple days. Then move it closer if the plants want more.

Careful bringing them in and out, could bring some pests in with the plants. Seen a lot of infestations begin that way.
