the closest u can put it with ur hand above the canopy without feeling discomfort is what ive read in many places, i dont use an HPS tho, so im not 100%

Alright, this is my first grow
Seeds are from mids (indica) I got months ago
150 w HPS light
Cabinet from home depot for $60
Lightweight fan (low and high setting only)
Miracle grow potting soil grow mix (provides nutrients; nitrogen, potash, phosphates for 3 months)
2 plants in one pot
Couple o questions:
1. will growing two to one pot stunt my plant growth and yield?
2. is miracle grow bad to grow with
3. i will keep posting as they grow

I've been using 2 reptiglows in my hps/ufo/fluoro grow.I have 3 plants 4 weeks into flowering, and I 'm amazed at the tric developement already.Oh, my grow spaces are only 4 sq ft each I figured 2 should cut it.Leaving them on all through the flowering phase the whole time with no prob heres a few pics

bf74: do you mean you only have the uvb on when the main lights are running?

or did u mean you use the uvb every hour of every day, and the main lights for flowering?

excuse my ignorance

and RichED: if its a fluoro UV light you can have it as close as possible..

I'm sorry , I didnt clarify-yes the uvb is only on when the main lights are running- and only in the flowering tent. peace
