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.

Is it better to have one light unit that covers the full area of the tent or use multiple smaller ones? Im using 2 small leds. Is it better to have the ability to dim the lights or just have one power of intensity?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.
How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.

11/13 for flower
I need my grow to finish flowering ASAP, due to extenuating circumstances... Iāve read that flower can occur faster under 11/13 with some loss of yield. Does anyone have experience here? How much will yield and flowering time be influenced?

HLG UVA supplement
Introduced this hlg 30 uva light as a supplement to the twin 260s. I've read just 3 hours a day increasing 1 hour per week up to 4-6 hours before harvest. Anyone recommend anything differently or just run it 18/6 with the lights?

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !
Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?
