<span class="link_user">@Megumin</span>, You will not regret purchasing that light, it&#039;s fantastic. And thank you for the kind words! The reason for not going full power is heat mainly. I grow in a small space (60x60x140 tent) in a warm house and at full power I was seeing temps go up to 30c+ in the day. At 100w I see temps of around 25-26c. When I got the light I looked up guides and advise, generally it seems most people tend to run at 80%-90% power. They also use the light to regulate heat (hotter = turn up the wattage and move the light away. Cooler = turn the wattage down and move the light closer). For me personally it&#039;s all about balancing internal temperatures and exhaust fan noise, so I choose to run the fan slower to reduce noise which in turn increases the temperatures. I just set the light to whatever wattage fits within that. I stand to be corrected though, so do not take my word for it! On my current grow I am running the light at a higher wattage and plan to go about 90% max (about 120w).

<span class="link_user">@Skardy</span>, Thank you! I don&#039;t tend to top autos as I don&#039;t want to stress them out. Obviously there&#039;s lots of anecdotal evidence for and against topping autos, but it makes the most sense to me to not as you can&#039;t provide the plant with additional veg time to recover the damage. I may be wrong though! I have a couple Sweet Tooth Auto seeds, maybe I should put it to the test.
