If you have LED light, you definately should increase the light level to 400 ppfd! 150 is much to low.

150μmol/m².s is very low to me.
You can start increasing gradually to reach 400μmol/m².s

Looking at your pics I'd say the light height is decent where your at.

What are you checking with? How does the plant look? What's the light manufacturers recommendation?

How to manage grow light height with plants of different sizes?My grow light is suspended (offset from plants) about 10” from the canapy of my two LST’ed plants but only about 6” from my control plant (no LST). Everyone seems happy, and I am not noticing any burns or lack of growth (unless too close can stunt?). Should I rethink the setup?Week 4

High guys,
My Jack Herer will soon move to another closet.
I've got 2 led lights at home for vegging. Both use 60 watt but have a different colour spectrum (only have space for 1).
Which one is my best option FOR VEGGING ONLY!?!?
My options are the Spectrabox or the Cree Cob.Setup. Lighting
