The answer for kind leds at least is 12+ inches. I left this one at 12 through bud and bleached the top. You can see where i tore it off and there is a littlewhite piece left. Some strains r LIGHT SENSITIVE. example gsc. So 18 inches is probably the best results ive had using a kind 1000w k5.

I've been achieving optimal results at 18-24. My only regret is that I didn't raise them earlier.

Hey Kevin, how are you doing with your GalaxyHydro, I just harvested 4 auto flowering skunk, my lights had to be set at 36 to 40 inches, any lower and all plants would suffer from to much light, all leaves would show yellow at the tips, samba light as you.
Can you keep me updated on how you fair out, much appreciated. Thanks.

I just harvested a random buddha seeds auto from their variety pack and previously ran a couple of photo period plants on the galaxy hydro 300. I set it and haven't moved it yet. If plants get burnt by this light, I don't notice it. Decent yields and the light was cheap. All the LEDs are still working, it doesn't get hot, vastly superior to the CFL panel I had built before swapping to LED. The only drawback is that the plants seem to need a bit more of a cal/mag supplement, but that's really not a big deal.
For the price, I'm very happy with my light. Pretty good chance that I'll be getting 2 or 3 more in the not too distant future. I'm not sure what height I ended up with. I'll try to remember to measure it today.

i have a 300w galaxy hydro in my veg tent and it's 18" from the canopy... I just picked up two 600w galaxy hydros for my flower tent... what do you guys use for your flowering?
