I got the attis pro 👍 I just want maximum results thanks for that
I’ve got the Attis 200w in my veg tent solid light for the price,

Your light
Efficacy: 2.7 µmol/J
PPF: 816 µmol/s
Input Voltage: 200-240V
Power Consumption: 310W
Footprint: 0.8m x 0.8m - 1m x 1m
Waterproof: IP65

I’d recommend about
a hanging height of 20-30cm from the canopy,

for younger or more sensitive plants this gap should be increased as well as a lower power setting used.

For younger plants we always suggest to start around 25-50% power with the light around 50cm from the canopy.

Monitor your plants over a few days and slowly increase the power and/or lower the light as needed.

For flowering plants you can usually start at around 75% power and increase to 100% shortly afterwards.

For propagation or very young plants we would always suggest to start on 25% and around 50-80cm from the canopy.

Amazing this has answered so many questions for me thankyou so much 👌👍
 
You might get a lot of different answers for your light period question. This is just what has worked for me: 24 hours for the first month, 18 hours for the remainder of veg, and 12 hours in flower. I run photoperiod plants.

As for light intensity, there are a lot of variables. I start seedlings under a 2-foot, 2-bulb T5, hanging 6 inches above the top of the plants. I finish my plants under about 35 watts per square foot of LED. Your 100x100 tent is about 11 square feet, so I'd want 385W of LED for flower. I start veg at about 25% of my finishing wattage, or about 9 watts of LED per ft². I ramp the light intensity up through veg and flower, depending on how the plants look. If the leaves are flat, level, and vibrant green, they're happy with the light level. If they're curling, taco-ing, twisting, or contorting in any way, or if there are colors other than green, I turn the light down. If the leaves are praying an hour before lights out, I consider turning the light up. How the plants look is a better indication of what to do with the lights than any schedule or meter. Again, just what's worked for me.

Hope that helps.
So when its sprouted iv got them germinating in the cupboard.. i pot them and give them 24 hours low light for the first month?

i like this style



and isnt 100x100x200 a 3x3x6 tent
They run to hot for my liking
I have one in the loft & one I gave away
Personally I’d never buy another Attis again
Not worth the hassle with the heat
The bar ( square ) lights run cooler

I used to think they was great till I tried other types of lighting

Put it this way my 200w Attis ran hotter than the 400w bar ( square ) lighf

That's what I do. Some people run seedlings 18/6.

Huh you just took me on a crazy journey back in time 🤣

When I started I ran seedlings on 18/6
Then came the you get posts about getting 15% more veg growth on 24/0 so I switched & tried it was happy with the results & started running my seedlings on 24/0 as well.

I also run my temps slightly higher during the first week or so I find they tend to like it warmer when they are seedlings

Can’t say there’s a massive difference in 18/6 vs 24/0 during seedling growth but for some reason I stuck with it so I must of seen a benefit
 
I would personally stay on 18/6

Light promotes plant growth so having it on 24/0 your plants will grow

But the darkness helps promote root grown nd other chemicals/hormones

18/6 will also help with flipping to 12/12
As your plans will be more used to a dark period

Some plants plants I’ve tried at 24/0 have been stunted/ stressed when making the flip

I feel 18/6 is just a smother experience and you save some penny’s with your light being off

Yeah I was thinking of doing that anyway I wouldnt like to be awake for 24 hours either
Thanks dude
 
You should check out phlizon,vipar spectra, spiderfarmer. I think they all have links on this site. Don't feel bad my first light I bought was a 600watt blurple. Fuckers got me for a hundred.
