    Default LED headache

    Hi guys, I need a little help with my LED. I’m using a Maxibright daylight 660w pro and I need help with hang height if anyone can help or point me to the right direction please?

    I’ve downloaded the “Photone” app and upgraded to the pro so I can get ppfd readings for my LED but no matter what setting I use and no matter what strength and height I run my led at it doesn’t seem to go over 200/250. And from what I think I know ppfd for vegging plants should be 200/400 then higher for flowering. But as it stands I can barely make the 250 mark.

    Up until now I’ve just winged my way through but I’m fed up of getting purple stems from light stress it doesn’t really effect the plants bud growth in my eyes but it effects my OCD not seeing a lush green plant all over.

    Any ideas because I’m getting stressed lol

    Never mind, they’re reading 300ppfd at 25% light intensity at 22”. That will do for now panic over

    I run mine at 60% power 18inches high during veg. 100% power 18 high during flowering.
    I'm using famur 1200tf lights and no lite burn.
