Just wonder what people think about the height of my light. Right now I can't adjust and it's about 35 inches away from my screen. My tent was quite warm that's why I didn't worrie about it before but my temps are down around 22-23c I also have 3 led panels down lower then my big light I will post a pic of my set up. Basically just wondering if it will be worth it to rig it up so I can drop it down. Oh and it's a 600mh
Thanks in advance

Just dropped it down to 18 inches. I couldn't go any lower or it would block out my leds and wouldn't be hitting the whole canopy. Hopefully this will help

I wouldn't go any lower than that with a 600, as your plant is going to get hot and the light spread will diminish, which is not a good thing
I run 2 400's and a 1000 at 32" above canopy in a 6x6 area, and the plants do fine..
Your plant looks good by the way.
Good luck with your grow

Yeah I agree any lower than 18 for me would be to hot and the light wouldn't hit the whole screen. But I'm glad I did drop it down the amount I did
