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.

New to Indoors-Lighting Question
First time growing indoors. I purchased a Mars hydro TSW2000 but the manual has no information…. It’s equipped with a dimmer but I have no clue on what the appropriate height & dimmer setting should be for seedlings or the height for the veg period & flowering period. Advice plea

I don't really know when to switch the veg light to the bloom one... the manufacter manual says to turn on both lights in pre-flower stage. What do u guys think? I also lowered the light (200w output) from 67 cm to 60, is it ok? (LED Viparspectra V 450)

Lights too close?
While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?

Is that just a light burn or could it be something else?
One bud in the middle of my plant is much lighter than all the others, which all look healthy and green. I think it was due to the too small distance of my light, which was only 20cm (8") between canopy and light. I have now moved the light to 35cm (14"). What are your opinions?

Light flashed on
Our power did some interesting things during the storm & the lights went on in the tent - I would say they literally flashed on & then off (along with the rest of the house) - during the *dark* period. How concerned if at all should I be about this? Anything I should / could do?

100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?
So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though. Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.
