I would suggest higher because it looks like seedling stage but don't know the specs on your LED light so?? Most companies have recommendations for the height above plants for different stages of growth.

LED's are tricky it's really about watching the plant. Signs of leaves twisting or curling.....may mean light is too intense. I have even had the tops of colas bleach from too much intensity. What does the light manufacturer suggest? I usually start at the maximum height. Mine is about 24" for seedlings and smaller plants. I lower it to maybe 18" for mid size to large plants. Then take it down to 12" for flowering. Remember to keep a tape handy as plants grow upward, to check daily for height.

Leave it there, it's fine. Maybe a tad lower if you want to play chicken with a train. You might win. Never know.

That's not a huge stretch if it's not quite there. It'll find the sweet spot on its own.

He'd have to raise it eventually anyway. I just meant that lowering them would be like pushing its light threshhold, I think, and it's still a seedling.
