You should be able to get closer. I run QBs and I’m about 28” from mine.

Ok I’ll try it out.this second light added a ton of heat so just trying to keep it under 90

Do you have fans and exhaust fans?

Yea I put a duct in the side wall with a fan in it and just got a hole in the ceiling right now and going to buy a carbon filter setup exhausting into the attic later. The lights are pretty warm for what they are

question about watering. my bigger 2 plants are a bit on the bigger side maybe 6 sets of true leaves in a 1.5 gallon pot and i only really wet the top couple inches of soil. i have a 1 liter bottle and i give 2/3rds between 2 of them. i have yet to completely saturate the pot for fear of drowning. the outer soil never even really gets wet. and the seedlings with 3 sets were just transplanted today in 1 gallon pots. and with them i only did the center around the stem with maybe 100 mls each of water. everywhere i look there watering until runoff. am i under watering?

They are in coco you are in soil correct? How old are the bigger ones? I alway water a outer circle so the roots have to spread out the get the water. If in soil you do want to giving a good damping once in a while as you don’t want it to harden up making pockets from being so dry.

yea its a soil/coco mix has perewlite and some coco fibres and peat and a few other normal things

i was just going through one of your threads and im impressed by what you accomplished. you definitely give me inspiration.

I guess they’re scary cuz I havent read a lot about them or looked into thespecifics. I just see people building their own light setup and I just think to myself that I’m not there yet. This is gonna be my first rodeo, so everything is new. The fewer things I have to wrap my brain around the better. And if I find I want to continue growing, THEN I’ll step it up, ya know???
