Hlg 150

[Ryboburton]

So just curious. I bought an hlg150 qb Not sure the exact specs as it’s on right now. Plan on using it in a closet and have three plants that were severely hurt and they are living but more of an experiment lol. What’s with the dimming switch and why. I want to veg six plants in a closet under it for a semi perpetual grow. The plants will eventually be moved to a grow box under 2. 315 lecs where I have plants now that are thriving. Just curious as to what’s with dimming the lights and why thanks
Happy growing

Not sure I get the question??

The dimmer dims the light?

Why dim? To make the lights not as bright?? A.K.A - dimmed.

What’s the benefit of making the lights dimmer

Main benefit is for adjusting to grow cycle aka less light needed for seedlings or rooting clones.

My veg light can be dimmed but I prefer to just adjust the height. For some people though that isn't an option, so they dim.

Ganj on

Helps with heat too. I had temperature issues I was able to solve by rolling back the dimmer about 10%. I could then make up the difference in intensity by lowering the light a little closer to the canopy.

Increased flexibility is a good thing.
