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

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?
I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.

Hans panel 180 use veg mode or not
I've got a hans panel, it's got veg setting and flower. i had it all day on veg mode, seedling was stretching so i placed maybe 30cm from the lamp, but now leaves turned bit yellow. Would it be better to put it on flower mode and place the seedling further away?

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?

Light height full power vs dimmed
Hi, with light height, does it make a difference to the plant if I'm at full brightness and further away vs dimmed and closer? I'm going to start running out of tent space soon so I'm expecting I'll need to dim in late flower. I think it's ok just looking for assurance :)

Is your machine helper leaking light?
Everyone has their ACs and dehumidifiers and whatnot machines in the grow space. Are you covering every little light of those machines in the flowering chamber? Many hermies will be avoided with some aluminium tape. Stay safe, cover those lights and grow ganja!

Use lamp while waiting the sun ?
Would it be worth it for me to go and buy a CFL bulb at a DIY store while I wait for the sun to come back? Or is it not good to have 2 different types of lighting (sun and cfl bulb)? And what kind of cfl bulb I could take?
