it's a Mars hydro 300w....yes I know the power draw is only 140 w.......so with that being said it's currently 12" above my plant.....should I lower it or raise it
If you've had it hanging there with no negative affect so far, I'd say it's not too close. You should've figured this out before you put your plant under it don't you think? LEDs do tend to burn hotter to the plants than the hid or hps. I've seen pics where lots of people have put them too close, especially in the beginning, and then paid for it with damaged plants. Just hang it high and lower it slowly down over the plant to allow it to get used to the light. TWW
@the white widow.....I just got this light yesterday and I give my plant 6 hours of direct sunlight for the past 30 days so I'm pretty sure it can handle it I was just asking what the optimal distance is for one plant and 140 what 5 diode led
and btw brother I did as much research as I could but didn't find a definite for sure answer about the distance but ya I had to get my plant under the light
I like mine but I only run it for veg but I think you'll be fine in that space Sent from my SM-N920V using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I keep mine about 12"-18" from the top with no issues. Can't go wrong with a $65 led imo. It works for me. Sent from my SM-N920V using Grasscity Forum mobile app
