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.

Lights
I realize at this point way too much light,Down to just 1200 W LED which is equal to about 600 w MHS with both Veg & Bloom on Any advice to achieve optimal distance from the tops? Watering with nutrients only or should I alternate with low ph water flush once a month

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?

Is it bad if my timer turns off via the PE cable (green) so that my light is still glowing? Or am I worrying too much and it's not a big deal?

Will my set up work well or am I missing something that can help me out a lot? Wondering if my light is big enough for three plants in a 2x4x6 closet. Are the plant pots adequate size (2.5gallon)? Should I use many nutrients with this autoflower? Details in my grow diary.1st grow
