Hi guys,
The is my first thread and I hope some of you more experienced growers could pass some knowledge onto a newbie.
My grow is a closet grow about 3ft wide, 1.65ft deep and 5.5 ft tall (sorry tried to convert them all to feet).
The issue I have is with my lights. I'm not to sure as to how high or low they should be. The set up is 4 x 2ft fluorescent tubes. 2 of them are 4000k and the other 2 are 8000k. (1350 lumens each). Right now the plants seem to be doing fine but I was wandering if my lights were too high? I know with fluorescents the light penetration is pretty poor and so they need to be very close to the plants. However I did have them closer to the seedling originally and that almost killed it. So right now for the past 3 weeks the lights have been about 2-2.5ft above the 2 plants.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
