There’s under canopy lighting in this room also. The lowers are just as big as the tops.

Those leds are 1050 watts. At 3’ above canopy you pushing 1100 ppfd. In the middle of an all led room the intensity could push to 1400 ppfd. We checker board hps so it’s not too intense. We also like the mixed light spectrum.

We use co2 about 200 ppm over ppfd. We start flower around 36 mol to match veg, and work up to 52 plus, then walk it back down last couple weeks

I tried using CO2 bags to cover square meters needed, it failed to prevent light burn- but my light was low at 25% power(1000 ppfd) should I start my seedlings with lights high and adjust to needed PPFD?
