Distante between LED and plants.

Chanardostarted grow question 3y ago

The distance between the LED and the plants is 53 cm. Is it ok for the first week? I've read that a short distance in this stage is good to produce a not so tall plant.

It can be anywhere from 50 to 75 cm. It all depends on the light.Some led's are stronger then others. Just watch the plants and if the stem gets long and they start stretching to much then its to high, If the leaves start pointing up and shape a V then it is to close.

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower. I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good 🤷‍♂️🏼

Low Humidity and high temp or high humidity and low temp?Do you think it’s better lower temp and higher humidity (like 27 degrees c and 80 % humidity) or higher temp and lower humidity (like 29 degrees c and 60 % humidity)? I’m just waiting for the humidifier but in the meanwhile I have to fix somehow. Thanks!

Invert light/dark during a grow For veg period is better if I start with light on in the day, and off in the night, but for bloom period it will be too cold, can I invert light/dark during a grow? I will have light on in night and light off in the day.. does the plant have any problems if I do that?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.
