Lamp distance

jacockstarted grow question 10 months ago

maybe the lamp is too close? Plants are fine and not burnt, they keep adding nodes and leaves,but they seem too short (7cm the shortest, 11cm the tallest at day 19/20). The lamp is a Mars hydro tsw2000 (450W), until now it has always been at 30 cm and changed from 25%, to 50%.

They don't look to bad to me atm. All the main lamp manufactures have guides in the their product manuals and online in their product page on recommended hang heights and dim settings for seedlings, veg and flowering plants. I suggest you look for it, its not set in stone either, sometimes its need a few more inches or less, all depends on the plant. Good Luck!

How can I prevent these light burn issues?It seems these Mars hydro lights are not so great. This is my third grow and having the same issue every time. Red stems where they are exposed to light. Yellowing leaves. But when I move the lights further away, stretching is very bad. Should I just get new light?

Increase light hours autoflower My autoflowers are 6 weeks old and showing flowering signs. Can I increase the number of light hours from 17hrs to 20/22/24hrs? Does it cause light stress and can trigger vegetation or make it hermaphrodite?
