Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

Should I lower the light?
So, this is her 24 hours after she first came out of the soil. I am trying to follow 18-6 light cycle. The height is two inches. Does she look a little lanky to you guys? Should I lower the light a little bit?

Luce rossa e blu insieme in vegetativa.
Secondo voi accendere led vegetativi luce blu, insieme alla luce rossa può fare male ai piantini. Oppure tenere tutte e due pulsanti della lampada accesi insieme non farà solo che bene alle piantine?

Lights for auto plants, very low budget.
I have a 250W CFL 6000K for small grow tent 1.75x1.5m First do i need a 3000k bulb for flowering? If so, i was intending to buy normal LED bulbs instead 1 big bulb. About 6 to 10 bulbs 15w 1400lumens each bulb. My question is, am i going for much worst than with the single CFL

Grow Light distance
Does it matter what heights I have my grow light at as long as my pfd is where I want it? For example could I have it closer and less power or do I want it further with more power. Feel like it would be better for the light the less power being used.
