I got a new light: Vipar P2000

[JackMeUp]

I just got the above light and notice that there is no “veg” or “bloom” switch. The instruction manual says for seedlings: 50%, veg stage: 75% and flower cycle: 100%. To anyone who uses this light, is this ok? I’m kinda new to this, but my other two small lights both have a veg and bloom switch on them which changes the color of the light completely. Thank you in advance for any help.

50%, veg stage: 75% and flower cycle: 100%

Just guidelines that may or may not be right. Grab the Photone app and use it to measure PPFD. Proper PPFD per growth stage are:

Seedlings: 300 PPFD
Veg: 600
Flower: 800

Good. The majority of lights with veg/bloom switches are low quality lights. I would avoid them and sick with lights built with Samsung LM301 diodes.
