I got mine at around 8 inches actually. No problems there at all. Plant is loving it. I use the "hand" rule. Hold your hand under the light. Does it feel warm after 30 seconds? If so, it's too warm for your plant.how far are you hanging your light? literally my Mars 300w arrived 2 days ago my babies are about 2 weeks ahead of yours, just curious because it doesn't seem THAT bright but maybe to the plant it is, I am sitting at 18in but afraid I'm frying it and or not enough, am I Just being paranoid?
Also, I found this distance by starting at around 18 inches too, and lowering it a bit every day. I don't feel the need to lower it any more, but I haven't had a single heat related issue yet.
Well if he was growing with just the mars hydro.. and then added another led.. and noticed a 30% increase in bud size.. that would make sense.. But if he was growing side by side those 30% would be a big deal, if same conditions + strains and different lights.I was curious if the two strains are the same that he is growing because that definitely could make a difference. I have the same question as you HandyGringo as to if the grower has done a identical side by side grow using the two different lights.
