If your using sun system then 24-26 inches and further for seedlings probably around 30 inches. But different models of cmh need to be hung different. Some at 3 ft. Same as with MH/HPS grow lights, always conduct the 30-second “hand test” after you’ve positioned your light. If the light bothers your hand after 30 seconds, it may bother your plants!

Hi guys! I would know if it is good to bring down the leaf (I mean, if is good for the plant, so the light of the lamp can reach also the inside of the plant) or if i have to do it in another way Thnx for the answer 🙏🏻

Gents/Ladies, Anyone got any ideas with what I should do with the cola that has stunted growth due to the stem being half broken? I managed to top it, just about... Was thinking if it doesn't decide to grow anymore in a weeks time, I could top the one next to it again?

Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

First time doing LST and am wondering about clipping the fan leaves that are in the dirt and covering the new growth nodes on the main stem. Is it cool to cut these fan leaves in order to expose these new growth sites to the lights or would you recommend I just leave it? Thanks!
