    Is it too close? Too far?

    You have to be careful with ufo lights they kick off too much her for such small spaces and can cause burns, with that being said if you place your hand near the plant to check the temp if it’s hot for you, it’s hot for your plant... adjust it. I’m a new grower also I’m still researching and gathering information. I’m excited and super scared to fail so I’m looking to start off spending less money as possible. You plant looks good to me... how far in are you with your growing?

    Nice looking micro setup. I would also watch the heat and your grow space. Plants can triple the size during flower. If it gets too close to the light it well burn.

    I'm not sure you need pots that big. If they actually filled out those girls would be way too big for that space.

    From what I can gather the key to these micro setups is to force those girls into flower really early. like now.

    Looks good. Careful with that UFO, led lights can bleach plants out even when the temp seems fine. LEDs need to be further away from the canopy than HIDs. think 2 to 4 feet
