Why vegging further from lamp?

i dont know if you can see but just the tips and the contour of some leaves seem to be slightly less green, i dont know if its me or if it is normal, or if it is the lights, they are @ 26 inches currently. the yellow leaves with purple spots are the first set and second set of serrated leaves, maybe they were overwatered or the previous container hadnt enought nutrients, they have been in these 1 gal for a couple of days, they seem to be better, i guess ill have to wait a couple more days to know? i will be checking the plant in the middle to see if the light burns since it is the one getting the most saturated light, but i dont think @26 inches it would be the lights.
Now that we can see the plants under a more natural light the leaves look more than just a bit yellow. I agree with @N420 that it is time to step up the nutrients. They might find what they need in the new containers but if they are still that yellow in a week or so then start the nutrient schedule.

Other than the yellow I did not see anything else to be concerned about after a quick look through the photos.

You guys are awesome, so glad i joined this forum, today was their second watering, they are in a rich organic soil, they already seem to be doing much better and i think they have resumed growth, should be able to say for sure in a couple of days. but from the looks of it, they already feel much better than when they were in the last container.
 
Hello :ciao: I have used the same 600 Led Viparspectra for 2 years now, this being my 7th grow in a tent.
I have found that once the seeds have sprouted, it is safe to lower them to 22 - 24” distance while in veg.
While in flower, I keep the distance to 16 - 18” .
I have been averaging 5 oz per plant (grown in 5 gallon pots, 4 plants per grow. )
Very happy with the light, all my grows have harvested around 18 - 20 ounces :thumb:
could you tell me the size of the tent? seems tent size plays a huge role in the light intensity and height.
 
Noob question here, does every single plant need to go back exactly where it was under the light (because of light intensity)? like in the middle right under the light the PAR valuve is much higher that in the corners of the tent, is it ok if i switch occasionaly the one in the middle to give the others some more intense light or is it a no no? i currently have 9 plants in 20cm pots under an viparspectra 600, i have so many bcause it is bagseed and will be removing the males and hopefully will get 4-5 females. In the middle under the light i put the smallest of all 9 so maybe she could get to where its brothers and sisters are, am i doing it right?

I move mine around all the time. Sometimes they end up back in the same spot, sometimes they end up in a different row. Reasoning is that being in a different spot gives each a chance at the different levels of light.

Never seems to cause a problem that I have noticed. But, any time I type up something like that a short story pops into mind; "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream";).

Enjoy the day.
