  • @highdrogrower5007
    @highdrogrower5007 6 лет назад +19

    A lot of good information👍
    I usually adjust the lights according to stretch or heat stress, if the plant is showing signs of stretch I'll lower the light and leave it for 24 hours.
    If it's showing signs of heat stress I'll higher the light and leave it for 24 hours, and a good isolatating fan blowing between the lights and the top of the canopy lets me get the light that little bit closer.

  • @ObjectiveMedia
    @ObjectiveMedia 5 лет назад +5

    Adjust-a-Wings also make Super Spreaders to go with
    with their high quality adjustable reflectors which
    dissipate both light and heat more evenly preventing “hot spots”. Thus allowing for closer proximity to the canopy.

    Could you please do a video specifically targeting how high to set l.e.d. lights as we tend to have to mount led lights higher than hid lights as the led's tend to bleach out the top's of plants due to the light intensity I would suspect. Please elaborate on this topic.

    Are lux or FC measurements of any use with grow lights? With LEDs they don't give off much heat so surely that's not a reliable way to suss the height?

    • @MIGROLIGHT
      @MIGROLIGHT  5 лет назад

      Lux measurements ar not accurate for photosynthetic light, they do not measure red and blue light properly. As LED's don't give off too much heat they can be closer to the plants. Your skin is a good guide to physical heat detection and when it is too hot for life.
