watch resulting internod lengths and adjust... i'd use height to optimize coverage and dim for early levels.. that way you dont' hve to keep messing with height. Distnce from canopy can make drastic differences (inverse square law applies)
your enviornmetn as well as genetics can make this different than other gardens. take notes and it'll be a good starting point next time while avoiding the trial and error.
QBs.. 18-24" or whatever best covers your garden. Use a free lux app and that will tell you proportional intensity.. measure center and edges/corners an dmake sure it's not too drastically different or expect much larfier buds along outskirts. probably 50-60% for early seedling but will quickly want more... avoid that stretch and don't stunt it either.

In the manual that came with the light, they should give optimal settings for each stage of growth... I'd check that first!
Good luck

I would start with 35-40" above the canopy. If your leaves start pointing up( or young sprouts make a V shape then its to close. If the distance between branches are far apart(or seedling is longer then 3") then its to far. Every strain will react differently so there is no exact location for optimal growth. It will always depend on how your plants are growing.

Led Grow lightsI have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?Week 8

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7

Autoflower light scheduleSoon rolling into veg for my first auto grow.
Currently on an 18/6 light schedule using Mars Hyrdo II 700w .
Don’t have any problems with temp/humidity inside tent.
Once you notice the buds starting to flower do you switch to 12/12 or just keep plugging away with 18/6?Week 4

LED distance in grow 80x80x160I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds
and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant.
I have 4 plants
Is it ok like this?
I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant.… Show more

Lux Meter Apps on SmartphonesWhat are your thoughts on Lux meter apps? The app on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ is showing 16,600 Lux at the tops of the seedlings, and converting that to a rough PPFD shows 222.55/umol/s/m². Reading more, 15k-45k Lux and 200-400 PPFD is good for early veg.
What are your thoughts?

raise lights during stretch?Should I raise the lights during flower stretch to maintain the same distance from light source to canopy? I notice that my plants continue to get taller than most. I know the stretch is natural, but I'm wondering if constantly raising the lights with growth is the right approachWeek 12
