answered grow question 5y ago
I would say 40 50cm then let the plant grow until the bulb is 20 cm from plant tent start moving the lamp as the the plant grow to keep 15 20cm distance between plant top and bulb.

is it okay to place it near the led lights? as many says that it could burn your seedling down.
recently im buying the 1000w full spectrum oem led from China. and i know it just “labeled” 1000w. im testing it on my plant, placing it near and seems like it doesn’t burn my babies.

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlings
Seeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?

Lighting coverage
Will my viparspectra xs1500 have enough coverage once these plants get larger? Or will I need supplemental lighting? And if I do need more, am I better off getting the larger model, or just getting another identical unit so that I have 2?

LED Light Spacing
So my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?

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.

Light doesnt cover every pot
So i've got 2 plants under one cfl lamp and i observed that that 1 girl is reclining to the right. As i see my Cfl this girl is standing right below the plastic part of the cfl and obviously gets less sun. How can i fix this? Changing place my pots every day will do the job?

Adequate Lighting with this LED?
wondering, do i need more light than this spider LED 1000? If not, should i be cranking this spider LED to 100% or keep it at 25% (thinking this is hitting that 20-30 Watt/ft2) (total sqft is at 11)

Should I use Blue light switch or Red light switch or both for vegetative growth?
I'm currently using a Giixer 1000W LED grow light. The lamp has two switches. One for "blue" light ay 450nm and one for "red" at 600-700nm. I am currently in week one of the vegetative stage. I have both switches on for "full spectrum" lighting. Blue or Red switch alone?
