Hey,
Yeah I’m 36-30 inches away.
I spoke to a Rep at Kind and they said because of the extra lens to be real careful of being any closer than 24inch and that was in flower.
Was less to do with heat and more to do with light intensity.
Are your buds nice and dense?
If you’re getting results then happy days bro!

@Northernwizard,
Interesting that they said 24”. I’ve been liking the results with the lights close, short nodes, dense buds. I’m probably gonna stay around the 12” distance. My last grow, had a bud start turning all white, thought it was mold at first but was honest to goodness bud turning all white. Bit more research indicated it was over the top trichome production. Led light users have seen that from time to time I guess.
Apologies for the delayed initial reply, never got a notification.
Think I’ll tweak mine a little closer then, good to know the plants can handle more as I struggle for height.
Cheers for your input buddy I really appreciate it.
Happy growing
✌️🏽
@Northernwizard,
You’re very welcome! You can always try 1 grow at whatever distance. Then try a 2nd grow (same strain maybe, for better comparison) at a different distance. I’m still really new, only on my 3rd grow. My grows have all been around 12” - maybe I should try a grow at 18”. And another grow at 24”. I’d be concerned about stretching / longer internode length. Never thought to check what other growers using these lights were at.
Hey Bro,
Hope you don’t mind me stopping by.
Just been checking out your diaries and seen you run the same lights as me and noticed your lower hanging heights, just wondered what the deal was?
Just trying to fine tune mine and after some feed back.
Cheers for reading.
Peace✌️🏽
@Northernwizard,
Hey hey. I aim for 10-12 inches between plant and lights. Closer lights lead to shorter internode length / shorter plants. As we’re running led lights we can get away with closer distances because they don’t run as hot as bulbs.
What distance are your lights at ? What’s the reasoning / thought ? I’m really new so by no means should you follow my advice or lead. Aside from - if you haven’t read any text books - I recommend The Cannabis Grow Bible. Well worth the 35 dollars.
Yo mate.
Just a heads up, I’ve ordered a PAR meter. When it lands I’m going to take readings at various heights, when I’ve got the data I’ll send it over.
Then you’ll better know your light strengths/intensity at different heights.
Then you’ll be able to fine tune your Humidity(vpd)/ nutrients/ nute strength/ temps and CO2 (if you run it).
Hope you don’t mind, just thought you’d find it useful.
