Lamp to Plant Distance for seedlings
Chucky324answered grow question 5 years ago
Hello. Please hold your hand over your little seedling for a minute. You want a warm feeling without a burning feeling. If the back of your hand feels like it is getting sun burnt it will do the same to the plant. That is the right distance. Good Luck. Chuck.

26-32 inches away from seedlings, as the plant grows in veg you will lower the light a inch or 2

It depends on the lamp really and what the PAR values are in your area.

High guys,
My Jack Herer will soon move to another closet.
I've got 2 led lights at home for vegging. Both use 60 watt but have a different colour spectrum (only have space for 1).
Which one is my best option FOR VEGGING ONLY!?!?
My options are the Spectrabox or the Cree Cob.Setup. Lighting

Dialing in FC-E6500Hey!👋😺. I have a question about distance for anyone using the FC-E6500 (no meter). All the lit. we've found says 12" the entire grow and simply adjust the dimmer throughout plant stages. This really doesn't sound right to me. We're now at 13"/50% (12"/75% was too much) TY!❤️🌱Week 19

LIGHT SPECTRUM, is that a good one for growing cannabis?Hi guys,
in the future I plan to upgrade from the current 2x2 box/150w LED.
I was thinking of a 4x4 area with 500w LED.
I came across an interesting 500w led lamp for quality/price and this is the spectrum chart, does it seem suitable for growing cannabis?Setup. Lighting
