Hi Beast,

I went reading back through to check out your distance from light to plants. Lot so pics and a suggestion to keep them relatively close, but no actual dimensions.

What do you suggest for distance for LEDs? Do you keep the same distance for seed, veg, flower?

Thanks

schtiggy this my first time using led.i havnt gone by any demensions.just guessed and kept close eye on my girls right through.they give off little heat mate so I had them very low at seedling stage . and as the plants grew bigger I upped the lights alittle.worked out great for me so far. but the higher they are the more covarage u get same with any light.il just continue to guess and play with my leds through plant growth all fun and games.gives me more to do and more to learn.and more time with the ladies always a bonus.when I check on them I can be stood there after tending to them just looking a there beauty next minute 30 mins has gone by lol.the love for my girls is strong.and I love using my eyes and my plants to tell me everything is okhappy growing every1

I hear that. I'm in looking at them dozens of times per day. 2 of mine are starting to stretch...nice and hairy on day 29. I just sit there and stare. They each end up with a "personality" and become like pets. You get attached to them and REALLY want to do what is best for them. I know they liked the switch to LED for sure! They stood up like they appreciated it. Yep...must be love

Schtiggy sounds like's been bit by the bug

I have my LED about 3-4 inches from the top of my ladies but that is out of necessity, not choice. Being only 30" high I don't have much space.

I have heard that you should have LED's at least 8 - 12 inches away as it helps better mix the spectrum or something. I make sure I rotate the plants often, especially in such tight confines to keep different sections getting various exposure.

I did have them about 3" away in the beginning but I think it was too much and going forward will keep the light as high as possible in my current tent.

 

[Camo420Grow]

The most space I have for mine is 33in. So I hope to be able to keep my leds 12-18 in away most of the grow.

 

[Krypt247]

18-24 is a standard I think.... Mine is 18 they are seedlings within a week old and not growing as fast as I'd like, show no sign of heat burn so I'm going to lower it to 14" and see how they react.

 

[Sleven]

Krypt With the LEDs you shouldn't really get heat burn at even 4 inch away as they give off next to no heat ... If you place your hand underneath that's a great indication of how far away you can place them if it's warm on your hand it's going to be warm on your plant ... Most hps are kept at 18-24 inch ... Try put your LEDs closer and it should help for better node distance and stop stretching as much

 

[thebeast27]

I had my led,s 8 inch above my seedlings and they grew very fast .u can get them very low. as u say no heat.and ur plants leaves will let u know when its time to raise it.so all is good.we all want good growth ha ha.happy growing every1.oh and I get my phone back today pick it up later from repair shop.ready for my update tmz.

 

[thebeast27]
