Sure you can, best to download a free lux light meter so you know how far to keep the light from the plants

Grow light height in flowering
I have a lumatex ATS 200w led, I've it raised to max height but I've still only 10 inches of clearance from the canopy. It's flowering now and upward growth has stopped as buds are starting to fill out, will I be ok with this short distance?

Mars Hydro TSL 2000 questions
Other than recommended distance from the manufacture, how do I know how dim/bright the light should be? Also, since these are autos, do I flip at 5 weeks, or just keep going until I’m ready to?

Hi! I have just changed to 12/12 bloomtime for my girls. I have a wifi-cam installed so I can check in on them when I want. It has night vision so there are a few red dots(led) from the IR. Can they cause trouble nighttime?

Led Grow lights
I have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?

Best LEDs or small HID to replace 1000W dimmable HID for small space
I'm using a 1000w HID setup I had from before, running at 50% in a cool tube. It's loud and not efficient. Maybe it's time I switch to LEDs or a 250 HID. I don't want to sacrifice bud quality but I'm low on funds. Any recommendations for a good light that will fill this space?

Is that possible to do grow light with Samsung LED strips?
Going deeper into idea of doing the quantum board from scratch but instead SMD LED's there are lots of strip LED options. So I want to ask you guys if I have an aluminum plate with a heat sink and coolers, can I fix those stripts there? Or can I rip them off with a heat gun?

Time lapse under HID lighting
How do people do time lapse with hid lighting? Do I need to set timers to turn off hid, turn on fluorescent and then take the picture? Is there a filter I could buy that eliminates the horizontal scanning lines?
