At 5 weeks into flower there's not a lot you can do other than provide good light, heat, r/h, and nutrients. I'd start with the light 24 inches above the canopy, at about 80-85% and see how the plants react. If you need to know the ppfd, you'll need a meter.Hello I’m trying to figure out how to use this light. I’m in week 4-5 of flower and wanna get max yield and have had it at 55 on the dimmer. Does anyone have this light and can help me with distance from the canopy and at that distance what ppfd the dimmer setting puts it at or how to reach 800-900 ppfd
Thank you very much. Do you have this light? I’m not running co2 eitherAt 5 weeks into flower there's not a lot you can do other than provide good light, heat, r/h, and nutrients.

I got it at 70 now and no stress.Thank you very much. Do you have this light? I’m not running co2 either
You must have a tall tent, if you're 70 inches above the canopy or do mean 70%? Don't have that exact light, but I do have an HLG 550 rspec, so I know they're good and powerful lights. The X has a bit more red than the regular Diablo, so it's a great flowering light. (It's also fine for veg)I got it at 70 now and no stress.
I have the dimmer on 70 at 24 inch’s away. I’m in a 7x12 room. I have the hlg 300 rspec and the diablo 750(which is new for me). I’m in mid flower. Trying to get max light. Today they were praying very hard so I just turned it down to 65You must have a tall tent, if you're 70 inches above the canopy or do mean 70%?

Optimum LED lighting is about 35 watts/sq foot, so if you’re using the whole tent, your lighting is inadequate. I run 1000watts in a 6.5x6.5, and I only use about 5x5.

I have 5x5 of it with a half wall I built to split it with a door with diamond Mylar all around it. I also have a 2x4 of the other side of the 7x12 with Mylar as well and that’s where the 300 rspec isOptimum LED lighting is about 35 watts/sq foot, so if you’re using the whole tent, your lighting is inadequate.

Very nice set-up! You’ve got plenty of light. Plants look good!I actually updated the side with the 300 rspec and got rid of the table and build a wall that’s way better
Thank youVery nice set-up! You’ve got plenty of light. Plants look good!
