Is my light too far/ too close ? It’s at 20inches away from a 8 day old plant. I’m using the MarsHydro TS600 W. Thanks ! I don’t want to burn it / for it to stretch too much as I have a 140 cm tall tent. Thanks !! :)

It all depends on the ppfd you have. If you dont have a meter you can download kovid app for iphone and get an idea of your numbers, from there you will know how far you need to hang your lights. Best of luck and pm me if you need any help buddy 💪

That light is only 100 watts. You should be OK at that distance but I would keep an eye on the plant for stretching. If it does stretch don't be afraid to lower the light. Modern, white LED's produce light over a broad area and don't produce much heat so I've found you can go closer, sometimes much closer than many recommend. But, always pay attention to what your plant is telling you.

I never used LED. But I think you can put the light closer to the plant IF you can scale the power output of the light.
