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.

Plants Growing Taller Than Light
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Mars Hydro TS1000 hanging height
People with experience using the MH TS1000, between 24"-30" at 25% seems like a reasonable height to put my light over the plants in initial vegetative state at my 2x2ft tent? Thank you! :)

Side lights ?
Would my plants benefit from these extra lights hanged to the side? Photos included of light and how they look. Above are two SF1000D lights. Curious if these will help the under growth or if it's just a waste? Thanks for any info anyone can share . Happy growing!

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?
What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

How much light does a seedling need?
Is there a limit to what it can use? Could an LED grow bulb a couple inches away provide enough light? Up to what age? Thank you so so much. My first grow and I really appreciate it! Specifically this one https://www.gelighting.com/led-bulbs/e2624/ge-grow-balanced-spectrum-br30#

Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?
Ok, before everyone jumps on this with the obvious answer - I understand that you don’t NEED to change the lighting for an auto to flower, but my question is can you, if you wanted to, flip an auto to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12?
