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.

will seedlings survive with just natural light?
At the moment I dont have a growing light and all the babies get is sunlight (about 15hours). Will this be enough? They are sitting at the window with a humidifier to keep them moistyyy.

Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Best LEDs or small HID to replace 1000W dimmable HID for small space
I'm using a 1000w HID setup I had from before, running at 50% in a cool tube. It's loud and not efficient. Maybe it's time I switch to LEDs or a 250 HID. I don't want to sacrifice bud quality but I'm low on funds. Any recommendations for a good light that will fill this space?

Light distance
Hi everyone, what distance from the light to the plant is recommended to start the vegetative period? I see many different measurements on the internet. In this case, it's for some automatic Red Poison plants, with a 360W LED light.
