Lights low directly above canopy (flowering) or up high for larger footprint. I have 4x4x6.5 tent and 2 cheaper hlg led panels. Manufacturers suggest minimum 1 foot but a friend keeps telling me to drop em. Thoughts?
Led lights..close or away?

2 HLG 100's isn't really enough light, but they seem to being doing pretty damn good. I have a few of them. I would leave them where they are now for better spread in that 4x4.

They light it up pretty good, I have considered adding another or two. This is my maiden grow and eventually i want more than 1 lady flowering at a time. Appreciate the advice.

They're great lights. I have many HLG lights. I actually have 2 HLG 100's in my flower closet now because I haven't put my new 260's in yet, and they work great. I also have 2 260 Rspec's, and a 135 Rspec in there. It's about a 3x8 closet.

No way. I think I've projected 2nd week of November or so. Sound about right?

Only way to find out right? I’ll be experimenting the same since I’m a noob at growing. Ordered an sf2000 and not gonna be afraid to drop em until I see signs that I shouldn’t have.

Ya that sounds about right. They look great. Make sure you post some pics when you think they're ready, then everyone can make sure you don't chop too early.

You can have them within 8 inches of your canopy in veg and id say 10" from your tops in flower
