answered grow question 4y 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.

Found a cheap light that I think would be perfect in my small tent, would it?
Would this light be good to add to my setup? (60W 55 draw cob in a 40x40x120cm tent) ://i.imgur.com/VTayXRu.png 4500 Lumen 4000 or 6400 Kelvin 50 Watt (I already know there is much better, but know I am asking about this one)

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF
it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Light: much Power less hours
Hi everyone, I'd want to decrease the hours of light to give the plants the impression that winter is coming, but I'd want to add a led to increase the power of the light. Can I apply both this ideas? Thank for your attention

Advice what lamp for vegging.
High guys, My Jack Herer will move soon to a closet with a 60x60 cm surface. For flowering I will use a 180 watt Hans Panel. And I do have 2 led lights at home for vegging. My first option is the Spectrabox. And my second option is the Cree Cob led. What is my best option?

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...

Which of the two options do you choose and why: Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft. The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setup

Small light/ big tent
I just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!

Low Humidity and high temp or high humidity and low temp?
Do you think it’s better lower temp and higher humidity (like 27 degrees c and 80 % humidity) or higher temp and lower humidity (like 29 degrees c and 60 % humidity)? I’m just waiting for the humidifier but in the meanwhile I have to fix somehow. Thanks!

Set Up Tent
How should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?

Low budget light
I don't know if this is the right light. I'm gonna leave it for a week but if I don't see any kind of growth I'm gonna replace it with some good light. But since it's a wooden box I don't want to put a big light, maybe some stripe or bars, any low-budget suggestion is appreciated
