Mars Hydro FC E6500 lights

Hello!

Few questions regarding this light for anyone who also use this light.

I’m currently in veg stage of growing. What light height is best for this stage?

I can’t seem to find any information on light height for this specific light.

That being said my light height is 17 inches from canopy throwing 345-350 PPFD at them. Pushing to 500 slowly. Would this be good? Or should the light be raised as my dimmer is set to 50% I don’t want to be throwing too much power into these plants if they can’t handle it. If I raise my light it will also make me dial my dimmer higher.

They look great, I wouldn’t change anything now.

Each light is different so for height recommendations you should refer to the information from the manufacturer.

I think 345-350 is great plus the plants would show you if the light is too close. I like to see the leaves “praying” a bit towards the lights which I’ve studied has a lot to do with the plant getting it’s ideal amount of light. If she is already feeding ide wait till shes a bit taller and see if her leaves start praying as she grows closer to the light. If she does not start having praying leaves then I would slowly increase light intensity a couple tick marks at a time until she does so. There is a possibility that some cultivars won’t “pray” but I haven’t ran across any. Also one early sign for me that the light may be too close or intense is the side of the leaves start to curl up like a taco so keep any eye on that as an indicator and watch your plant reach up towards the sky
