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.

NDL VS LED
So Umstellung auf LED erfolgt ich hoffe den Damen macht das jetzt nichts aus... außer mit einem geknickten Blatt und dem Schreck das es auf einmal Stangen regnet ist ihnen nichts passiert...🙈 dient als Bild Update da ich die in den einzelnen Wochen nicht ändern kann....

How big of an issue is light? HELP
How do you know whether to raise or lower your lights? My LED is pulling about 250watts from the wall... Box said keep light 30" away during veg... But I'm not so sure about that. Thoughts? How will I know if it needs more/less light?

Distance from pot to light during germination
Worried about our light power and distance to the pots, should we be running it at full power with the light higher in the tent or vice versa? Also very unsure about watering amounts in these early stages and is it okay for water droplets to be sitting on the growth? TIA

Light burn ?
Signs of some sort of def or light burn? My full-spectrum COBs and bulbs are putting down ~22.000lux at the canopy, is that too much at this stage? Autoflower Green Gelato Day 24 Can’t think of any other problem besides the lights...

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

Distance from bulb or from reflector?
I found content about the distance from grow lights to the plants. I Know that using a 250w MH bulb the distance should be in a range from 20cm to 30cm. But i dont know If I should measure the distance from the glass of the reflector or from the bulb itself to the plants. Help!

Too little light
I have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.

additional blurple lights
I also got the blurple lights from my friend. To keep the temperature down I haven't installed them yet and not sure if I will. Will they make a difference if I add them next to the current LED? If so should I wait until the flowering stage or anything like that?
