Lights too close?

While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?

How much space between the light and plant should I be using? I’m using a wardrobe box it’s like 3 ft tall. I think I can dim the light with a tiny screwdriver but how much should I dim it?

You'll need to find the light footprint map provided by the lamp's manufacturer so you can see what intensity the light emits at certain heights. During veg you'll want around 300-400 PPFD. Again, the light manufacturer should supply a map showing that PPFD the lamp emits at certain heights. You realize you're not giving us a lot to go on. An image hardly shows your setup accurately. We'd need the lamps name or at least it's power draw. Generally speaking, low-power lamps of ~100W should be hung about 50 cm from the plant during veg (depending on how much PPFD the lamp produces).

You can’t raise or dim the light? It’s too close
