Well, you’ll find out the hard way one of these upcoming runs if your new strain of choice isn’t as heat tolerant. Not all strains are the same. Just fyi homie.

So I have rarely ever had any light cranking 100% output in flower, manufacturing specs on lights is hogwash. 1bc every strain is different, 2 that output will cook most plants. What is your put put set at for veg? own 2 ts1000 in a tent you should max out at 75-80%

Wow... this is a bit disturbing. As a new grower, I depend on the manufactures recommendations. My app says I should be at 75% power for veg, I just started that today.

Heat is an issue for me too. Currently 87.6 Degrees F and 45.4% humidity. (humidifier is running, the added heat seems to dry the air in the tent. I dropped to 36% humidity before I turned the humidifier back on.

I have the oscillating fan that came with the tent blowing over the lights to help keep them cool. (maybe I need another) I am going to try to move the light power unit outside the tent as you have shown to keep it cooler in there. I know it detaches from the light, I just need to see if the cord is long enough or if I can get an extension for it.

Oh and driver removal on a ts, it should have on the plate that holds the driver, little black plastic screws that you can remove to take the driver plate off.

Well, I never go over 40% output, I have used mars vipar and spiderfarmer respectively and the light settings across all models in veg, never over 40% output.

There is an army of us here who have been trying to catch newer growers and inform them of the light jargon. No need for more than 40%. Otherwise in my opinion you are tempting fate a bit

Ok, thanks.... I will lower it down. I don't know how to screen cap my phone... but yes, my mars app is telling me 25% seed, 75% veg and 100% flower. Even at 25% power I am still hitting around 83+ degrees F.

This is a good read about light level:

Cannabis DLI for Your Full Grow Cycle

If there's one question that never allows a cannabis grower any sleep, it's — are my plants getting enough light? If this question has ever crossed your mind, don't worry, you're not alone. Read along as we describe the lighting requirements of cannabis over the full growth cycle.
growlightmeter.com

There are charts that show recommended light levels for each life stage for autos and photos.

You can always dial it back in to the plant if the plant is wanting it, it’s waaaay easier to give more light to a plant than it is to deal with a crispy one. Less stress put on a fem or auto, the better.

Help me ,help me ,Ya a bit out of control in height. Like my babies fluttering/dancing in a light breeze.
I had a makers controller fail, kept my plants in veg so far I am surprised My plants didn't herm out.
The Makers programmable controller I would set the parameters as in current time and what time lights on and off. There is a night time mode , it was off or 0% light on each of the 5 channels. not sure what time it started to come on but channel 5 would come on starting of very dim and getting brighter. Channel 5 is far red and photo red color spectrums .
Has a lightening storm and Luner moon thing too.. anyway I bought a timer and problem solved .
I was off camping and fishing when the controller started to fail and I just flipped the plants. I happened, I had a house sitter ( someone to watch the plants ) but he doesn't have a clue on programming the lights even if its super simple ..
Ok more fan photos

IMO, grow lights are being oversold. I've never run my lights at 100%, and I don't have powerful lights.

Doesnt that sacrifice on yield if I use only 75-80%? I am thinking this now cause two of my four plants got burned badly and one of them I think is not fit for smoking.

I think frying your plants with too much light would be worse for your yield, yeah?
