Proper light distance and intensity in a 2x2x6 mars hydro fce3000
UpInSmoke42090started grow question 3 hours ago
I have a mars hydro fce3000 in an ac infinity 2x2 tent. I had it at 80% 14 inches over canopy but was getting top end burn on leaves, and trichomes looked burnt too.
I backed off the intensity to about 55/60%
Any idea the proper distance and intensity in a 2x2x6

A good rule of thumb for light height with heat. Place you hand at canopy height. If it feels overly warm or discomfort. Lights are too close or intense. You could also look into a ppfd meter there are some decent cheap ones. That will tell you how close you are to an optimal amount, then you can adjust from there.
