I plan on getting a lux meter off eBay in the following days however for the time being what should I set my seeds 100w light to and what height? I planted the seed 2 days ago and it hasn’t germinated yet so I’m still waiting however I am using a 100w full spectrum mars hydro light, so far I’ve set it to 50% and have it 50cm from the top of plant pot, is that okay?

Did the light come with ppfd chart and suggested hieghts? Might have that info online somewhere.
I use a app on my phone dont know how accurate it is but i havent had any issues.

Yeah but I dont really know what it means or how to adjust it based on the pffd thing, and nah it didn’t come with height recommendations

try 12 inches at around 30% if it's only a seedling, generally you only news like 10000 lux for the first 2 or so weeks until uou start getting some decent true leaves
Okay thank you, just adjusted to what you said.
Also do I keep the humidity dome on or remove it?
