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.

When should I switch on the other half of my LED light setup?Hi guys, I grow 6 plants in hydroponics in a 4x4 grow box and they are 2-3 weeks old (about 7-8 cm tall). I use MarsHydro TS 3000 LED (450W) which have 2 seperate LED panels. Right now I run only one panel and would like to know when I should turn on the other panel. THXSetup. Lighting

Posible quemadura?Cada vez que entro en floración me pasa esto y no encuentro solución. Uso una tienda de 1,20 x 1,20 y tengo un led de 730w empiezo a pensar que la luz es demasiado potente y las plantas sufren de calor. Hubo dos dias en los que llegó a 32 grados actualmente estoy en 29/30Plant. Other

Light stripsOpinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?Setup. Lighting

Grow lightsDoes this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.5y ago

Grow light upgrade importanceImportance of light spectrum? I'm upgrading my 5 small 15W lights with a 240w Grow Bar with Samsung LM281B diodes. My girls are growing and look fairly healthy but the speed is super slow. I'm installing the upgrade today, can I expect better results and speedier growth? 21w vegSetup. Lighting

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏
2 main reasons come to mind after googling:
1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome.
2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.1y ago

Light cyclehi everyone, I wanted to ask if now that I am at week 6, if it would be better to switch to cycle 18/6? since it broke the ground it is doing 20/4 but I thought that maybe in flowering it needs more rest. thank you all for your help and good growth🌱💚Setup. Lighting
