The SolarFlare 220 LED Grow Light is the brightest in its class. The SolarFlare 220 is designed to cover up to a 2 x 2-foot area for bloom. To get a good spread, you want to position the light approximately 12 to 18-inches above your canopy. It's comprised of 44 super intensity 5-watt LED emitters for total nominal power of 220-watts. Actual power draw of the SolarFlare 220 grow light is about 165-watts. For Vegetative growth, the SolarStorm 220 can cover an area of up to 5 x 5-feet. In this case you want to position the light about 4-foot above your plants. The SolarFlare 220 is designed to replace a 400W HPS or Metal Halide system. It is great for small size closet type home grow setups where quiet operation is essential. Multiple units can also be chained together to cover larger areas.

Here are some updated pics of about a month old plants.

I lowered the light from 40” above the canopy to 30”z I also upped the feed from 2 grams of MegaCrop to 2.5 grams.

Been growing autos for about 13 years and never had em so small.

Any feedback is appreciated! @Azimuth @Bill284

Autos aren't my Forte.
I know they can be sensitive and a minor bump in the road can cause stunting.
I run photos to avoid this issue.
They may start to grow better but from what I've seen they will be smaller than normal in the end.
It might be worth popping 2 more if volume is your goal and have more time.
But they look fine just a bit small.
See what effect the light change has.


Stay safe

They look good. I think autos have a tendency to take their sweet-ass time sometimes. Especially the more sativa, the slower it seems. Just gotta be patient. My granny always said, "water doesn't boil if you watch it."

 

[Ice cream]

Do you folks think I need to lower the light more?

 

[JiggiLotus]

18" above the top seems to be a good spot. I think it also depends on how hot your lamps get x the Watt used. 18 to 20ish inches above the top. Unless you got them 'God-sent' lights.

 

[JiggiLotus]

Although autos aren't extremely picky when it comes to the lighting, they do appreciate it the same though

 

[Ice cream]

I will drop the light down to 20” and see how they do.

Thank you as always for your feedback

 

[Bill284]

Just watch their reaction.
Too much all at once could upset them.

(just kidding -mostly-)
You're plants look healthy and happy.
