Hello Community - I know this topic has been posted before but the messages are so mixed about how far to hang these LED lights. I hope we can get some answers that a definite and clear for the best growth. How close do I hang this light???
Mine sprouted close to a week back and while the first set of leaves has grown a little I am still worried about the seemingly slow growth and wonder if it is due to LED height and/or over watering (which I know I did - adding water whenever the soil felt a tad dry). Here are my questions:
1. Can the full spectrum LED give too much light due to being too close? I have read YES and NO, some say keep light as close as you can without burning and others 24+ inches. Can there really be too much light? Outdoors plants surely get days of full sun. Mine is hanging around 16 inches.
2. Check my pics. Does this situation look OK for 6 days old? The left hand plant seems to have stopped - still green and looks healthy enough though...Any comments appreciated. I feel really nervous about how slow they seem to be going.
Cheers to you.
