I am using a 480w in a 3x3 which is ment for a 5x5, letting it run on ~80% of power in flower.I a 240 wat light it says it draws 130 watts from wall if I put at 100 percent it's too much so way I can't understand is how could u use a 480 watt light and have it up more then halfway in a two x four tent the temp is no more then 82 I turn light to 80 percent and all fine ,so how do these utube grow with so much light and I cant ?
I got 300 in other tent and goin to just flower it too at some pointI am using a 480w in a 3x3 which is ment for a 5x5, letting it run on ~80% of power in flower.
Using 100% is bad for the ballast and led itself.
It doesn't run hot or sth., it is cold af in my growroom like I want it this time, temps are max. 68f/20c because my window is 24/7 open and I cool the ballast all the time, inline and vent running on 10 because the rh% is up day & night to prevent mold.
My light is 14"/35cm away from the canopy and if I hang the light a little higher I could run it on 100% without issues, which also gives a deeper light pen
