Hey Growmie,
Yes, 6-8 inches is way too close, even most companies recommend it being higher, for a plant this age I would raise the light to about 18" to 24" inches above the canopy, If you keep it this close you're definitely going have some heat/light stress going on. Feel free to shoot me a holler if you ever need any help, I'd be honored to assist you. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

It could be too close or it might be OK. I have seen more variation among burple lights than with white LED's. Pay attention to the top parts of your plant for signs that it is getting too much light or heat.

Light burn2 fairly new leaves at top (opposite ends) seem to show signs of light burn (yellow tips). They recently turned a bit more green but the tips are still quite yellow. Light = 13 inches away. PAR 370 at center, 350 on sides. DLI=~ 22.5. CO2 bag in tent (at about 620). Thoughts?

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?a year ago

Grow Light distanceDoes 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.Week 4
