Raise light?

Second week of flower. Should I raise the light? The plants seem healthy to me but wonder if they would benefit from not being so close to the light.

if growth hasn't stopped, your node spacing is an excellent guide to adjust light intensity (power or distance). Seems okay to me. light damage can take time to develop if it's only slightly more than it can handle per day. Keep eye out for interveinal damage, singed pistuls (yellow nubs in bud sites) and top leaves praying excessively in attemp to reduce surface area. That last one -- compare to lower leaves. e.g. in your picture the praying is the same at top and mid levels so i don't think it's teh cause here. 'good praying' in picture. not all "praying" is good. So, keep eye on it.. next week .. the week after.. probably good if no damage by week 3, lol. A proper temp and humidity makes plants more resilient to excess light. If your cimage changes, you may need to adjust light accordingly. If temps and rh are relatively consistent, no worries.

Hey bro, they’re looking good. You're right at the start of flower and they don’t seem stressed, but with two SF1000s that close in a 60x60 tent, the top leaves might start getting a bit too much if left like that for long. If leaves are happy and not clawing or fading, you’re fine for now. But yeah raising them just 5–10cm wouldn’t hurt either, especially if the stretch slows soon. Keep an eye on top leaf posture and heat, that’ll tell you more than any number. Looks bro, good luck with the rest of your grow 🤞🍀♥️
