    Hey fellow growers hope your all having a decent weekend. I have just swapped my cfl for a mars hydro 600 watt true output 300watt and just wondering if 20inches from the plant is high enough or should I go a bit higher. Thanks for any input or advice:)

    Mars hydro could probably help you with that question. By the way, that light pulls 265 actual watts. Good luck with your grow.

    with the age/size of the plants i think 20 inches is going to be just a little too close. i would personally back them off another 6-10 inches... but honestly if you're paying attention to your plants, they will tell you if it's too much light or not. the leaves on plants that are getting too much light/heat will start to "taco", twist, and contort to reduce their surface area. so if the leaves look like they're flat and natural looking, you're probably good.

    I shall keep a close eye. I know with the cfl they were pointing up and only put the mars in last night and they flattened out so I will make sure they stay how they are then. Thanks for the quick reply man

    I start my LEDs 3 feet away for seedling for approximately 2 weeks then slowly lower afew inches here and there and let the plant grow into the light tell I'm 18 inches away then as the plant grows I move it up
