Metal halide veg distance?

How far should the light be from the plants? 18 days old

Depends on what Watts the light is

the best way to tell is the hand test put your hand under the light if its to hot for your hand its to hot for your plant Start her around 24" away then lower her every couple of days if you want to be safe most say 18" is the perfect spot


All the best

All the way to the celling

Anybody have an answer for the 1000w mh light distance, dimable to 500w for seedlings and clones

Distance could vary depending on factors such as is does it have a vented air cooled hood and vented?
I would start at 500w @ 18 inches and see what you get for temps at the plant level.

Right now I have it at 30 inches and 750w, they look better today

I haven't done a grow journal yet maybe I should document this one it's going to be good hopefully, Gorilla Glue#4, Animal Cookie, Gorilla Cookie, Triple Cheese, Blueberry and Glueberry OG.
