Q: 1200W Led Bar Grow Light

[Doctor Trevor]

I recently purchased a larger grow tent (a complete kit) that came with a 1200W LED bar grow light. My previous lights all had switch for 'veg' and 'bloom.' This one does not.

What, exactly, does this mean regarding my photoperiod plants?

Does it have a dimmer?

If not, you may have to adjust the light height in relationship to the plant.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

There's no dimmer on it. How would the height affect the veg/bloom spectrums?

I'm beginning to think I got hosed.

A lot of lights do not have veg and flower switches anymore most are full spectrum for veg and flower. Not sure about the brand you got. If it puts out white light then its full spectrum. Not to sure about the red and blue color lights now a days.

Just googled your light it is a full spectrum for veg and flower no switch needed. It looks like it is on the heavy side of red spectrum so should do good in flower.

Thanks for looking this up for me. I was worried.

Last time I buy a grow tent kit from wish.com.

I'd check to see the actual wall draw. If 1200w w/o a dimmer for real, then I'd render it useless in a tent, especially if only one driver. Only for high bay applications.
