Light distance for seedlings

Autogrowzstarted grow question 4 years ago

I have a 300W Mars Hydro light LED. My plant just crawled out of the dirt a few hours ago? Is 23 inches a good distance away for the light? Thanks!

according to mars hydro website.. 24" is what they recommend for seedlings so I'd say that's perfect in week or so once you get some foliage going lower down to mars hydro recommended veg height of 18".. I'd consider running a bit closer like 16".. Then anyway for flower you wanna keep it a bit closer Mars hydro recommends 12".. With a light of that power I might even try 10-11" to maximize yield output from light source...

Hey Growmie, I would say yes, the company suggests 24"-30" inches for seedlings so I don't think the one inch will matter too much. If you notice any signs of stress just back it off a few inches. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM
