Place them under the light as soon as possible imo, its really not that much of a difference in pricing if you run the light at 25% power for 2 weeks.

Asap, I understand you want to save money. But led lights are so efficient you won't notice the difference in electric bill during first 2 or 3 weeks. Lower light to 20-40% depending on how strong and powerful the light is. Then lower it to its recommended hanging height.
Your plant will receive more light and longer hours this way and will give it the best growth, this stage is CRITICAL to get a good yield. You don't want to starve your plant on light!
Goodluck and please consider me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate it growmie 🙏 😃

Pretty soon. It will get better quality light once you have it under led. Plus longer hours. Otherwise the plant will look scraggly and like crap in the window over time.

Should I dim my TS1000? Ts1000When using two lights in a small space should I be worried about to much light? The plant is mature and is about to transition to flower, I’m just curious what is too much if any. The TS 1000 is dimmable the sf1000d is not. Lights are 18” at the moment

Light height and intensityHello all. Recently I upgraded my lights to 2 mars tsw 2000. I've noticed my plants are growing slowly compared to everyone else's. I have it set at 24 inches 25%. However a mars hydro admin posted 12 inches 75% during veg? Isn't that like 1500 ppfd? I'm so confused.
