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.

Viparspectra LED tips
I’m looking into buying a viparspectra in the future. Which one is best for one plant? I’ve been looking at the 600W one, but I don’t know if that’s the best option for growing a good yield plant in a 80x80x160cm tent.

Is closer to the light much better?
Is the light closer better? I have a VIPARSPECTRA 1000W LED Grow Light (10W LED ,x100) and it says during veg 18-26 and flowering distance at 18-24”. Looking at other growers using LED they are closer. Should I try to keep it closer a little at a time? Is there benefit?

I have a Viparspectra P600 and my question is that what percentage should i set my light to? Should i follow the instructions or set it higher than it should be? I read some people are setting it to a 100% from the beginning and they keep it that way. Any recommendations?

Mars Hydro dim settings
@weezy90 I have it dimmed to about 35% at 19”. I may be paranoid but I think I see slight tacoing! Should I crank to 90%? 100%?

Seedlings struggling
This is day 10 since they popped out and it just seems as if my seedlings are stunted. I kept an 85w CFL about 10cm from their tops for the first week and then raised it up to about 15cm for the next few days. They had humidity domes. Temp was 20°C-24 in day

2 plants, 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000’s, need help with pot size/tent size configuration
My plan is to flower these 2 girls in a SCROG under 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (2x300W actual). I’m debating whether to flower them in 5 gallon plastic pots in a 2x4, 10 gallon pots in a 2x4, or 10 gallon pots in a 4x4. Does more area = more yield, or am I thinking about this wrong?
