getting new lights is always like..... how far the lights away from the seeedlings. Normally light companies give recommendations. as iam growing with similar lights ( quantum boards), i agree to you if you say, its tricky. And i would do it like... less is more until you found the right distance. I would start with around 80 cm and look how the lil ones respond. Or you dimm down to 30 watt, then you can go to around 15-20 cm.Its a great tool to dimm the lights. And the seedlings need a quite "weak" light. I most time use my secret jardin led ( each has 26 watt) to rise the little ones. In my Previous grow iam having same problem like you, i have new lights and dont know the accurate distance for the little ones.. So i start with 1 meter distance ( i got 150 watt Quantum board).... and then i look how they grow. if they get to leggy i lower the lights by 10 cm. iam guessing for 65-70 cm would be the optimal distance for my Girls in seedlingsstage. If they are 3 week old i go with the recommended distance from the lightcompany.
