answered grow question 5y ago
At this stage, I would go with 24 to 30 inches, as they grow you'll be able to bring the light down to 18 inches.

Keep LED strip or remove?
So this is a space tub grow, other than the above head light it has a 3500k led strip running around the sides(around 4 meters) is it worth keeping this lighting? I'm only running a 150 watt growstar led ufo, which is fine for my canopy but my bottom isn't nearly as dense.

Lights went off and then on in flower [3rd week]
quick question, my breaker overloaded today and turned off power to my flowering tent. They were about 30 min away from lights out which I figure shouldn't be that bad, but while solving the power issue the lights came back on. Will they be affected and how? Thanks in advance

Shifting outdoor plants from outdoor to indoor
So I was wondering if outdoor plants(week 2) getting regular sunlight (~12-13 hours) can be shifted indoors for faster growing (18/6 or 24/0 or 20/4)? Anyone tried before? it is safe? Will it cause to make them hermaphrodite?

Bud too close to the light
Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

I have a 2x4 tent I think I’m going to flower 2 plants in in a SCROG in 5 gallon pots. I have 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (300W each), is this going to be overkill on lighting?

How do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

Lights for auto plants, very low budget.
I have a 250W CFL 6000K for small grow tent 1.75x1.5m First do i need a 3000k bulb for flowering? If so, i was intending to buy normal LED bulbs instead 1 big bulb. About 6 to 10 bulbs 15w 1400lumens each bulb. My question is, am i going for much worst than with the single CFL

Light intensity? Should I dim?
I'm having a light-science question. I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup? I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?

Grow Lights
Is it okay to use an LED Light 1000 watt (4x4x80" tent) & a UV Light 1000 Watt in a 4x4x80" grow tent for 3 plants. I want more light, I have plants growing slowly so I'm hoping to adjust the amount of light I have would speed up their growth. LED is white spectrum & UV blue-veg

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.
Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?
