The manufacturer recommends 24-30" for seedlings/young plants and 24" after. However i have my light closer now, about 16-20 inches and they seem to love it. But mine are ready to flip, way bigger then that little lady. Id say keep it at least 24" away for now and check every couple hours for light burn if you can.

Yeah i have mine about 18 or so but as long as you can keep your hand there for a little bit and it not get too hot you should be fine

Thanks. I checked and mine was at 12 inches. The rep at the plants wasn't bad but I moved it to 18 inches anyway. Thanks again.

Yea 12 is too close for that little lady having the light too close can stunt growth too and not allow it to stretch i believe

I've heard that too. This is only my 4th grow but on my 2nd grow. I had 2 that stretched really good and one that was real little and I think the light had a lot to do with it.

Good morning everyone, I got bored and took pictures. The first 2 are the Blue Cheese Auto, shes starting to peak out of the bucket. The last 2 are from my little White Widow runt. Shes just been really slow...steady but really slow lol. Shes responding really well to the fim and it looks like I should be getting at least 3 hopefully 4 or more. By the time flowering come I should be able to supplement the lights with another led maybe a 450w with veg and bloom.

I'm planning on growing 4 plants with this light. Is that going to be to many?

Probably. A good rule of thumb is 100w per plant...so in theory my 300w should handle 3 but im sure the light wouldnt penetrate the canopy...but in my opinion id rather give my attention to 2 and coast than have 4 with all kinds of issues

I have one that is about 2 weeks ahead of my other two. One of the is struggling though. I also have a lemon pie seed germinating. I could get it to three. I think I might supplement the 300w led with some cfls. Thanks

That would work. Everyone kinda finds their own. I want to supplement this grow but I might wait. I want to see how well this panel will work with great nutes and sweetners.

Kind of off topic but I didn't see anything in the faq about it. I went to start a journal of my own and it said I didn't of enough permission to do that. What is the requirements for me to post my own journal?

I've had a question thread already. Is that what you mean? Is there a certain way to do that. I really enjoy the app and all the knowledge you guys bring and would love to have my own journal.

My app was having the same issue. Just take pics off your camera app then upload the photo. Good job so far . can't wait to see how this all turns out. I have 450w Viparspectra at the moment but am on the fence about adding another 300w or 450w since I have 4 plants.
