I have been asked this question for many years. I spent the last year testing different heights and distance spacing from my lights and have found that 6-12 …
Winter in my garage the light(600w hps) need to be 12" or I have to run a heater. Lots of air flow. My garage is insulated and stays at at least 8c. One 6" fan. Also 4×2 stays at 25.3c all day with lights on half speed on my exhaust mid flower. I have inkbird wifi so I have data of my temps on my phone
This dude is stupid as fuck i been growing over 20 years dont put ur light more then 2 to 3 feet away u will burn ur plants dont care how much ac you got
Yes guys. End of summer you can pick up portable airconditoners on the cheap. I just picked up a 12000 btu fridgeadaire portable air conditioner at my local Walmart for 150 bucks. It was the last one there. I don't need it yet as I already got a few and 1 in my grow but its nice to have it when I need it. Its regularly 400 bucks.
Tottally agreeee buddy… a run ma 1000 hps s at abt 6..8inch wen strech is done mafriend.. air circ is CRUTIAL no point without it mafriend running enything over 600watts in rooms..
This video helped me and a buddy. Loose a 31 plant crop when we first started cultivating 3years ago under 6 1000 watt de hps all in 15 gallon Fabric pots and we veg them till about 5ft-5.5 ft high and sent them to flower everything was fine but listening to this guy not knowing we moved the lights 12 inches above canopy with a 10,000watt but a/c plenty airflow nice 58RH and the first week we noticed light stress so needless to say we basically came out on bottom that crop 3yrs later 36inch rule for me is a must no closer unless on movers
in my experience, 6" is way too close. I try to keep mine 12-18". Then again I'm only growing for personal use with a 400w HPS system, i've burnt plants that were 6" away. I also think that temperature of the canopy is a little more important than the distance from light source.
My par meter , and 700 watt LED's Said he's full of shit, my Par has a larger coverage at 32 inches then at 24 inches, and par only go down in the corners,
i had 200w cfl light last year 35cm away from plant all the time without any cooling system exept open window 3 metters away for frash air flow and resluts were very very good :)with some air coolers you can put flower 15 cm or 6 inch away no problem, that is my experience
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND.
Wish I could grow methamphetamine
It might be the camera angle but your plants seem to be much farther than 6 to 12 in away from the light source, just say'n..
Its all about Watts
Sconehead !
Take this video down , bad information shouldn't be on the internet, a hps light should be minimum 30 inches away
You must be the only one who can do that lol
How cold do you drop the temperature when ac is on ? 40-60 degree farenheit?
Good tip
What about nugg bleaching? This guys tripping!
Dude ain’t talkin BS …Dutchman on point !
Keep it up!
Wrong. Most of you guys try to put a 1000watt HID 6 inches from a plant and see what happens XD

So inaccurate 🤔 I will never put my lights 6 inches away wit my quantum board. I bet u wet trim as well. Such a master grower
If u put them 1000 watt hps lights closer then 2 feet your gonna end up with some sun bleached nugs
Right on… hey I would like some seeds.. please. I got my card.. Montana

Dont listin to this guy about light distance people youll burn youre plants.

His plants aren't that close!
Bang on inverse light law
Been watching people with three foot light canopy
A good way to tell if your light is too far, your leaves will start to curl upward. Too close and they bend downward away from light
Thank you brotha

Bullshit! 6 to 12" under 1000w hps/mh will kill the plant, even 600w, dip shit!
How far for small 12 inch plants with 400 w hps. cataract kush is what I'm running?
My par meter , and 700 watt LED's
Said he's full of shit, my Par has a larger coverage at 32 inches then at 24 inches, and par only go down in the corners,
how far away you place your plants depends on space, the type of light you are using, the heat your light emits, and ventilation.
I think between 55 and 60 cm is perfect that's how I keep mine and they love it⚛⚃
Lol thats some bs
i had 200w cfl light last year 35cm away from plant all the time without any cooling system exept open window 3 metters away for frash air flow and resluts were very very good :)with some air coolers you can put flower 15 cm or 6 inch away no problem, that is my experience
What about the lower branches?
