Hello fellow grower, looks like the light distance is absolutely perfect to me so far. Typically about 18-24 inches with those meizhis is ideal. Your distance seems spot on to me. The distance between nodes seem well structured and well spaced. I would keep the distance the same for now and slightly increase the light as she grows once a week. Solid genetics outta sweet seeds. Didn't know they had a cbd strain. Had a cream mandarine fro sweet seed a couple grows ago that looked like yours a bit and knocked my socks off. Might give yours a try one day if shipping from Spain wasn't such a hassle like last time. Keep up they great work. She looks strong. Happy growing! Stay medicated👊👍🙌

I think plants look good , the nodeshave a good distance, so the light has the right hight for this moment. If they start to build vrey close noed you have to rise the light. But as soon as they develop wnn and not beeing burned they are ok with that distance

Not an easy question to answer because all leds are different. Leds light intensity is measured with a PAR meter measured in umoles.Without one your just guessing.If she starts showing pistils by end of week 4 expect a stretch beginning then into week 5 and possibly beginning of week 6. As your plant grows/blooms you can increase the intensity. You want more intensity when in mid flowering which will be about week 7 for your strain.Did they manufacturer give a min/max distance range? If not keep the light distance about 1-2 inches less than the week before. Looking for signs of stress in the leaves closest to the light such as edge curling, changes in color like yellowing, tips browning. Keep in mind the area under the direct center of the light is the most intense. If you LST the main stem to one side this may help prevent the main cola from leaf burn yet still give plenty of light to the lower buds. I would not go any closer than 16-17 inches by week 6-7 to play it safe. Without a PAR meter you'll have to experiment by trial and error. Good luck hopefully someone who has the same light can give you a better idea of distances.

hello, in growth leave them 50 cm on them, it depends on the size of your indoor, then if it grows too much you will raise it, but if you do LST or another technique, it is better to leave it at about 70 or 80 cm above the plant.
