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.

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?

I've been running the light 24hours and then turning it down with the dimer while I sleep because I'm worried about temps Would I be better changing over to 20/4 or 18/6 or should I wait til it goes into flower? Sorry I'm a complete noob

From 24h to 18/6h during flowering ok (autoflower)?
Royal AK47 Autoflower: Changing from a 24h light cycle (since beginning) to 18/6h when already flowering - no problem or not recommended? The temp is a bit too high (~30*C) I think.

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?
Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now). I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

Mars Hydro TS1000 and Spider Farmer SF1000D in 26x26 tent together?
I’ve purchased an Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 for my 3x3 tent, so I now have a TS 1000 I’ve removed from the 3x3, that I want to move to my 26x26 and run it along side my Spider Farmer SF1000D. Is that overkill/pointless waste of energy for that size environment?

Lux Meter Apps on Smartphones
What are your thoughts on Lux meter apps? The app on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ is showing 16,600 Lux at the tops of the seedlings, and converting that to a rough PPFD shows 222.55/umol/s/m². Reading more, 15k-45k Lux and 200-400 PPFD is good for early veg. What are your thoughts?
