Grow light distance

Welcome to the forum.

I would put it 24 to 36 inches from the plant and run it on a low setting for now. If you can feel the heat from the light on the back of your hand when held at the plant level, then it is too close. Anything else goes.

Increase the intensity as the plant grows to meet the plant’s DLI requirements.

If your seedling gets to leggy, then lower the light or turn it up a bit.
