Thats what I found out many many grows ago. And so I wonder the same about 12/12 I don't like to get the light close being I think it slows down the buds and less goo. Plus light bleaching, etc.

Below are basic guidelines

1,000 watt: 16-24
600 watt: 14-20
400 watt: 12-18
250 watt: 8-14
Fluorescents: can be kept within several inches of tops.

I currently have a 2ft by 3ft space that is about 8ft high. I am using a 600 watt mh they are about 3 or 4 weeks in veg. My exhaust works absolutely terrifically (surprisingly cause i just have a homedepot 6inch inline fan pulling through my reflector) In any case, i can get the light closeee, especially when the temps start getting cold outside. How close should a put the light, its at about a foot above the tops right now *assuming heat is not a problem*. (they are in 3gallon pots). Heres a pic. What is ideal? Should it be closer in flower than veg?

I think what works best for each of us in our own gardens is the best way :?:

I see alot of gardens first hand and all different methods, but I only apply what works for me. That makes better sense :weed:
