just wanted to know how close should you have the lights hanging above the plant? its led so no heat generated, its blue and red leds and its one of the cheap led panels thats only 14 watts. yes i know very low power but seems to be working alright for my first try just wanted to know if i could lower the light closer to help with the lack of power.

ok so will having the lights closer help with the speed of growth? its an auto flowering strain and it seems not to be growing as fast as other peoples pics ive seen. once again i know most people are using much higher lummen producing setups

LED will generally make your plant be shorter with more/tighter nodes.
even with LED i wouldnt get much closer than about 3-4 inches.

with that kind of panel you can get pretty close but also you want some distance for the light to spread out a bit i would say 4-6 inches above the canopy seeing as the light is not that high of wattage
