Worried About Lighting

wunluv999 · Feb 21, 2020

This is my grow space for the sproutling/early veg stage. I'm worried about the lighting being too strong for this small of a space. The light is 1200w. The sproutlings are doing great, just feel like the light might be overboard. But it's the only grow light I have, do you think it should work okay?

You're fine. Does your light have any dimming features? Or how about Veg / bloom switches like some of the MARS lights?

Looks like a decent light, just pay attention to how close the canopy gets to it. Follow manufacturer recommendations for light distance from canopy. Usually 18 to 24 inches for most LED lights. I highly doubt you will have any bleaching issues with just one light as long as you keep it distanced from the canopy properly.

Good luck, partner! And welcome to the Farm!

Depends on the true wattage..it's not 1000watts...but may want to start at 30+"

The light actual watt is not 1200w. How many inches from the canopy? At least keep 24'' at early veg

I measured my space and I can have the light 22 inches max

I measured and my max height for the light is 22 inches , could make it 26-30 with some fairly easy construction
