oh yea? Some people online say 24 inches or more and some are saying 10 inches. Theses are just random posts I am reading when i google it and a lot of those posts are old opinions and leds have changed some. Just trying to get an idea.
i am using the 2x2x4 tent and i am just looking to grow one plant in a 3-5-7 gallon and lst it. The scrog idea sounds good too. I have one other seedling outdoors getting about 5 hours of direct sunlight. Hoping to compare them as/if they grow. So anyway, i'm going to go by the 50-60 watts per square foot route and hope that should get one nice plant. I'll add extra light as i go.
18 inches is good for a plant in Veg. In flower mine get within 6 inches and occasionally touches the light. Manufactures recommendation is a good place to start. Watch them for stretch and heat stess. If there is stretch lower the light. If there is heat stress move the light back.
ok thanks. so its been there for 2 days. Do you think i would have noticed a problem already or does it take longer? I did notice that the indoor seedling is about to sprout its second set of leaves while the outdoor one is still basically the same.18 inches is good for a plant in Veg.

Check daily
well its funny you should say that because i was just reading another thread where multiple people started with the led at first and had no growth so they switched to cfls for til the first two nodes. So i just switched to 2-23 watts 5000k cfls. Btw i went to wally world today and apparently they dont sell cfl's anymore.
