Great grow man, I'm late but following!

Quick question, I just got a new mars 2 and I'm a little confused on light height. Some say higher the better.... Lower the better? Anyone have any input?

Well - i'd say higher. Too close and plants won't grow at all. The best advice i can give you is to try out in your setup what works for you. I started out with recommend height and it didn't work for me at all. I had to raise it 32-34" to get any growth (seedlings,veg)

I kinda posted without any info. I'm flowering but at max height I can only get it a foot away.......

I'm flowering and they have reached max height but the farthest from the highest top I can get it is about 1ft away.

I don't see any problems bout having your light at that distance?? Depends on how much/many plants you wish to cover - distance gives greater coverage but you lose intensety?

On the bright side, you no longer have to decide how high to hang the light...

Well, next grow to compensate either get a taller room or do some LST to keep plants lower? I haven't got the money to try out the mars 2 model yet, so i have no experience with 5w diodes.

hahahaha. Nice one. Well if it would hurt more then help I would replace it with a cfl. I'm using a 400 watt hps and the led covers maybe a 1.5x1.5 feet spot where the hps doesn't hit very well

Yea I'm totally stumped I have the same light and if I go lower than 20 inches I get burned I've been staying around during 30 but I'm not sure I'm getting the max out of my lights any suggestions ?

You may want to post pictures. You shouldn't be burning your plants with 3 watt LEDs at 20". It may be a nutrient problem.

it's a 5 watt

The prior statement still stands. Most times it is not light burn but either heat or nutrients.

i have seen people complain of fluffy bud because they had the light to close. So your saying 20 inches is not to close

 

[htownbulldog]

Yea after a second look and checking my system I may have been experiencing some issues with my nutes not the light

 

[Hosebomber]

If the heat at the canopy is high, it will cause fluffy buds. Just ensure that you have good temps and proper air flow and there shouldn't be an issue.

ah thank you for the information. I seen your post about lighting and learned a lot more about led lighting. Thanks!
