@BobbyDigital I feel like I’m doing something wrong here, which is entirely probable.
Plugged meter to outlet. Disconnected the board, so I have only the driver plugged into meter, set to watts. Adjusting to I, there is no fluctuation. Any ideas? Reset the meter, tried again, same.
@dbrn32 last post make sense? Do I need to hook the board back up to close the circuit? Using a meter to check wattage.
Leave the board plugged in, that’s what drawing the watts. I meant to only plug in that light, not a power strip with the other light and fans and stuff.
I thought I took that too literal lol. Thanks
133.4
About to be a lot brighter in the tent…
I’m pretty new to all this so I’m getting set to watch and learn. Happy Growing 
Pretty popular guy already got a party In here… 
More people=more info shared. Party on, growmies, party on.
So I got a upgrade in the nursery coming if you haven’t seen it. I’m very pumped 4 it
You got the 200 Diablo??? Noice.
Yes sir with the military discount $160 so its a steal. Now ima have 2 flowering tents
Was it set there from the factory or did you need to adjust it?
It was almost there. I had to bump it up a smidge to get it in between 130 and 140.
Only thing is, the light bumped up the temp about 5° in the tent. So it’s around 83-84°F
I got the beginner mix goin, one of each AK47, Bubblegum, white widow
You’re fine there. That’s why I was suggesting to keep the driver outside or you’d be hitting 90*
Nice. I have a few others. Best of these 3, I’ll put in my next grow, with 2 new ones. Best of those, same thing.
Keep in mind, also, you can run 6/2 instead of 18/6 to keep the temps lower
I did ok with 100° outside, and it’s just going to get cooler in that room.
So, I’m just leaving the light plugged to the meter. Since I can’t really gauge actual percentage levels, I’ll have to use the wattage to gauge what to set the light at when I start vegging? Or should it be good to just adjust height?
You should have enough height in that tent to just adjust light height. The only time I turn down the lights is the last few weeks before harvest.
