Of course I listen , please do explain :hump:

Unlike most other 600 watt grow lights that demand 24 to 48 inches of space between the light and the plant, the HLG Scorpion grow lights only require 12 inches at full power!
That one I copied from one page where they explain scorpion diablo usage...of course now I know that have to be careful with them and not do that unless plants after slow introduction can handle it.

You’re right they are shit. I have a loft full of t5ho tubes and fittings and some cfls too if u wanna do a swap? Haha jk, honestly switching to led is a learning curve, leaf temp must be wayyyyy down with 24’c ambients under 20% Diablo. Try and get those temps up and SLOWLY raise the intensity and you should start to improvement

HLG Scorpion vs HLG 600 & HLG 650R:
If you’re deciding between the HLG Scorpion, HLG 600 and the HLG 650R, the main difference on the Scorpion models is the ability to grow plants at a short 12 inch distance beneath the grow light. For that, there’s a bit of premium in the Scorpion price. The Scorpion will spread the light better at that close distance than an HLG 600 or 650R. Otherwise, the wattage used is similar on all of these lights.

So you construe that as meaning you can take plants grown under a T5 and chuck them 12" away from that with 50% power? It doesn't work that way but hopefully you're moving in the right direction reducing the DLI to approximate their T5 experience and slowly turning up and shortening distance as they accommodate.
