18 inches my friend but do have fan blowing, an extraction fan sucking the heat out at the top of tent and intake at the bottom

I’m using a 600w hps in my 4x4 tent and I keep it to the top of the tent . Your plant will grow into the light. I have about another week of stretch and they are about a
Away . Just place a fan under the light to disperse any heat coming off your light and you should be fine

@ThePotFactory Hang it right at the very top as the HPS bulbs get VERY HOT because any lower and if the plants stretch anywhere near it , they will be fried

Wrong power cable in my LED light: still light when switched down off.Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!

Starting photos indoors for June transplantWant to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwiseSetup. Lighting

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!5y ago

Lights airstone c02What light to plant distance would you set it at? The only test I've done is at 25 inches its stable at 80°f and 75% humidity. When I lower it to 18 inches, the tent read 85°f and 73 humidity.
Other question I have is what's your favorite air stone(disk)?
Lastly, add c02 yes/no

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.Week 1

What light for floweringHi! I have a full spectrum light bulb red/blue and a small amount of white and another growing light bulb but more white/yellow. As I'm transitioning to flowering, which bulb should I use to get big buds? I can't find clear answer on the web. Thanks 🙏🙇♂️Week 6

Should I substitute sunlight with a grow lamp on cloudy days?It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?

2x2x4 yield expectations?I want to use a 2x2x4 tent, growing (Gorilla Cookies) autos in Nature Living super soil mixed with Coco Loco. I want to yield just a few high quality ounces. Is this easily achievable with one 3 gallon pot under a SF-1000? Should I be concerned with any plant height issues?Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?Week 2
