I just got myself an SE5000 and my last grow which was my first grow with it became very small. I didn't get massive flowering stretch I use to. Now I'm a week into my second grow and I'm afraid it's going to end up the same. Anyone with experience with SE5000? Can you please tell me what distances and settings you use to get good results?
I'd trust this guy I did a year ago and got 3 Migrows arrays, he does light reviews done well 10/10 follow this guy you will never loose, aim for about 700-800 U-mols depending on plant age good luck
I watched the video but there was no guide only description? What do you mean by U-mols depending on plant age? How would I know?
finding the PAR map for your light was a search!, IMO adjust the height of the light to the age of the plant, the younger the plant , raise the light or turn the light down
Thanks a lot! But still this doesn't make me wiser. I'm guessing 25 cm will result in around 1250-1300 so I should keep it higher than that? But how much higher? I currently have around 40cm distance.
Then why did my plants get so small :'( Maybe it was because they all went through a couple of weeks reveg stress. I accidentally had them at 12/12 for a couple of days and not even a couple of days in a row. But they were all stunted for some weeks. Perhaps that why they ended up so small.
that certainly can contribute. There are a lot of reasons for them to be stunted. I dont think your light is the problem. Lots of people use that light without problems.
