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.

Cycle 18/6 or 12/12I dont know yet if do a 18/6 of floration or 12/12.
The my idea is to do 8 weeks no more. I dont have time.. then maybe is better keep the 18/6 of cycle and change just the led in lamp led floration?
The first plant has been moved in the soil the 25/2 with 6mm of root

couple quick questionsDo I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights?
Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time?

I need help choosing a better light for my single plant microgrow!H50cm W37.5cm L57cm
Now using 1 household 13w Phillips LED 2700K for flower, a 120w CFL for veg and I use a cheap 20w dual Spectrum LED that I'm sure does almost nothing.
See pics for convo with led sales guy. Is the height really that much of an issue with the light intensity?Week 10

more lamps or not?Hello brothers.
We have:

We are currently in our 7th week of flowering. I have another free lamp of the same 320 watt.

Doubling light/adding a panel in flowerAdding a second light panel-- any tips? Will it be too much?
I've been using a viparspectra p1000 in my 2x3ish closet and it's done me well up to this point. Today I've installed a second led panel (not as good as vipar). Wondered if it'll be too much?Setup. Lighting

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete.
Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6Setup. Lighting

Changing Lighting ScheduleThe days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12.
Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?Week 4

Auto and regular plants in one box.I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?Week 1
