I'm currently one month in on my first ever grow, and the light system I have confuses me a lot. I'm hoping that someone knows a bit about these lights and can point my nose in the right direction.
I have a 5x5 gorilla tent and these are the lights that it came with.
My main question about them is, which settings do I use from seedling to harvest.
There are two knobs on the controller. One is for the FULL SPECTRUM, the other controls the RED+R+UV side of things. Both knobs move in 25% increments only!
I realise that this first grow is going to be trial and error for me, but I'd like to have something at the end to show for it.
Currently, my plan/guess is to start at 50% white light (no red), and gradually increase to 100% just before the time my plants go into flower. From there I was going to drop down to 25% white light and turn on the red/r/uv to 50 % and work it up to 100%, reducing the white light to, off, during the 12/12 period.
To me, my plants are looking good so far. No spots or leaf distortion anywhere. I have two Oaxacan x Colombian, an Afghan Kush, and two Mazar-I-Sharif hash plants going.
I have become quite attached to my "babies", and want nothing but the best for them. So I need help.
Many thanks in advance.

I have 2 of those lights. I love them. Get the removable driver. It's a game changer for the heat control. Also get the tent extension if you can fit it in your room.
You turn the red up during flower, manufacturer has it by weeks until you hit 100%
This is correct and the way I did it last grow and it worked perfectly. Week 1 flower turn on your red to 25% and increase it each week. If you are doing autos increase the red by 50% to compensate for the shorter flower.

25% in the beginning of flower might be too low. I rocked my light full blast all through flower until the last few weeks because I didn't know this:

Sounds like you are on the right track for an awesome grow! Post lots of pic and have fun!

AZreefer - what's a 'removable driver'?
The only thing that I did get for the light controller was the 8ft extension so that I can have it sitting outside of the tent reducing the heat inside.

And I would have loved to have installed the extension to the tent, but I only have 3-4 inches between the top of the tent and the ceiling (I'm set up in a basement).

And thank you for the chart. That's valuable information that I didn't know this morning. Nice one!

And, yes. I would love to post some pics, but for now there's not much to show. I am taking some all the same. Maybe in a few weeks.

Cheers.

Also, would it be advisable to turn off the white lights at the beginning of flowering and just have the red light at 25% to begin with?

You're right. Removable driver cable weas what I was supposed to say. I was too excited for you! The added height is not as clutch as that extension cable.

That's brill'. Thanks for clearing that up.

Your excitement for my plants to do well has pleased me a lot. Before today, I was on my own. Now I feel that my chances to make this all happen have improved a lot.

Superb!!

No. The white is still good.

What strength should I leave the white light on during the RED.

I'm presuming 25%. Would I leave it on until harvest or extinguish it after a certain week?

I'm thinking 50% because we want to use 25% on a seedling, yeah and the DLI on that chart is about 2x as much the start of flower as there is at the begining of seedling. But if you did to 25 for a week I don't think it would be a problem. 🤔

I do wish we could use an incremental controller. If you learn of one for this light please tell me.
