Looking for advice on how high to hang my HLG 100 for Veg/Flower. It's hanging at 30" just to be safe. Btw this light is so bright I love it already!

Yes lower it slowly every couple of days by an inch or two.

Download a lux meter app on phone. I'd shoot for 5,000 to 10,000 lumes for inital germination. 15,000 lumens once there little plants. Then once they get going bump them up to 25,000 lumens. After that you will be able to push them.

I'm not sure about using that. I don't know how. All new to that.

You just download a phone app and stick it at the canopy of your light and read the numbers off it.

Phone app is pretty accurate, so 5,000 - 10,000 for germination. The plant is a week old today. Is a week old plant still in germination stage

Usually until it grows its first true set of leaves

Okay awesome, thanks for the help!
Based on? Someone on RIU said some phones/apps are not so accurate. You might consider a $15 lux meter.
I'll start a thread about this, I'm curious.
