What lamp to plant distance is right in this example?

Robertsanswered grow question 4 years ago
If in vegging should be roughly 24 inches and flower a little closer like 18. Of course this depends on how strong your light is and if you want it to stretch more. Some led lights are too powerful and need more space. I use a inexpensive light meter to gauge the ppfd of the light and adjust appropriately. 2000 ppfd is suppose to be equivalent to full sun. Personally I aim for around 1200 to 1600 range but I grow several plants in different stages under same light. I just prop plant containers up closer to light for smaller plants. Hope this helps and happy growing.

I was just wondering if someone could confirm,
Some of the leaves on my plant have have copper, dry edges, and a few have purple stems. I think this is due to a magnesium deficiency. Both plants seem to be fine, wanted to know a fix for next grow, if it happens again? ThanksWeek 8

All but one plant is showing some red/purple on the main stems. Temp drops to 66 which I did not think was cold enough to bring that out. Ph is on par with no issues. Calcium def? Worth adding cal-mag 5 weeks into flower? Only source of cal was in the lime in initial blend.Week 11

Hey fellow growers. I currently have a magnesium def that keeps spreading even after the flush. Does anyone have experience with Canna Mono Cal 15% and Canna Mono Mg 7%? Reccomend dosage is 1ml. Only to be used with deficiencies because of the high concentration. Thank you!CheersWeek 7

I noticed some leaves and stems getting red/purple (see latest photo Week #10) so I'm a bit afraid of Phosphorous deficiency but otherwise the plant look healthy so not sure.
Don't want to use redundant fertilizers as I would expect her to finish soon - ideas would be welcomed!Week 10
