I just bought two JUNGLE LED lights the G2s just was wondering if anyone had used these before? Wondering on the height to hang and what not!? Any words would be help! Thanks guys
Does the manufacture have recommendations it doesn’t say any recommendations at all just a few reviews on YouTube with the PAR meter it’s like 700 PAR at 18 inch is that where you want to be?
Okay perfect I’ll look into the LUX metersThe best way to know is to buy a lux meter and measure.
This is how i remember it:
Pre veg 7000/15.000 lux
Normal veg 20.000-35.000lux
Pre flower 40.000-50.000 lux
Ending 55.000-65.000 lux
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Most of the manufacturer's are complete shit when it comes to recommending appropriate height from the canopy. Start very high with your dimmer set low. Seedlings /clones do not need or want to be blasted with intense light. These are not florescent fixtures from the 80's. They do not need to be 6" from the canopy. 1-2' is what I run without issue. The guys that run them closer just bleach the shit out of their canopy often resulting in less potent buds due to the bleaching effect. The plant in the left rear was a mistake. It shouldn't be that big, but it is what it is. It's still 1.5' from the light. A bit too close for my liking, but we'll push through it without issue. Too much light actually damages the resin glands degrading your end product:I just bought two JUNGLE LED lights the G2s just was wondering if anyone had used these before?

I tried running a 450w board at full power in this same 5x5 and fried all the plants within 48 hours.
Which means you we're once in the position he's in now. If you ha a lux meter at the time you probably wouldn't have fried you're plants .FYI: If you need a lux meter to tell you where your light should be you've got bigger problems than lighting
This is what I’m taking about! This is why I came to this site! That is amazing everything you just taught me thank you so much for taking the time outta your day to help me with my grow!! I will definitely be taking your advice! I’m still begging now under T5s but will be flowering soon under my JUNGLE LED soon lol I’ll post pics and prolly ask a bunch more questions thank you for everything and happy grows guys!Most of the manufacturer's are complete shit when it comes to recommending appropriate height from the canopy.

The lights in this photo are in the same position. They don't need to ever move. That's why you have a dimmer on LED lights. When I see people raising and lowering their boards I just shake my fucking head:

This monster is under 2 100w boards dimmed to 50% power. Notice the healthy growth with no light bleach? 100w of power is all it takes to grow something like this. I tried running a 450w board at full power in this same 5x5 and fried all the plants within 48 hours. There seems to be a huge misconception that vegging plants need the same amount of light as flowering plants. Lower power in veg. High power after the 2nd-3rd week of flower after flower set has occurred. Blasting full power at the weeks 1-3 of flower is a very bad idea. Too much intensity can easily damage your developing baby flower sites. The exact opposite of the goal a grower is trying to achieve in the flower cycle.

That's looking really nice, wish i had an option of using a small greenhouse like yourself. Hopefully in the future when i have my own piece of land as well.Will definitely do a transition when introducing the flower nutes… I’m using emerald harvest for all my plants which seems to be working fantastic
