I have the HLG600r how bright should I have it on seedlings and in the picts you can see how close it is to plants.
Is that the correct distance?
How do I post my grow journal so people can see it and chime in?
Your awesome for helping me btw.

Can you give me a rundown on settings for my light/plants on photoap light sensor?
I posted a pict of numbers with a paper light filter.
Thank you for your help

200 to 300 ppfd on seedlings. Monitor the stretch and raise/lower to control @Ddd1777

You are awesome!
Thank you!

Do I have to buy the full spectrum to get a good reading or can I use the free CFL or other free light source option?

Awesome Light.
HLG site has specs for 600R
Under Resources, then calculators for conversion numbers.
also on site.



Even used, your lamp could be better than my 350R (and possibly 260 added). 600watts x2.75=1650 (too much for seedlings).
Requires Kil-a-wat meter for load measuring.
More stuff to buy and more to learn.
HLG.com has lots of info.
My guess, full on your light is 550wattsx2.5 (or better)=1350 or more on max.

Do I need those things if they are being moved outdoors as soon as they are ready?

How long do I leave the clear cup over the seedlings?

I have a few that are tall and several short—they were all done on the same day.:thinking:

My light is barely turned on and they seem to be doing ok??

When do I put a fan on low around them to make them stronger?



I posted picts, I have 3 tall and 4 short🤔 they seem to be doing ok with the light setting I posted from the app?

Just bought 4 wedding cake feminized photo seeds from homegrown seed co. For $49

That’s a strain I want to grow in the future. I think I’ll have my hands full with these I am currently babying.

All purpose flour works for grasshoppers and kills them pretty fast! Sprinkle on plants.
As far as squirrels, I have a beagle named Crabby Abby that’s a squirrel hunter and does pretty good😁
