Depends how old the plants are, for seedlings keep it pretty high above it...to give you an example, I kept my 1000 watt about 5 feet away from my clones at first (kind of a waste of energy but didnt have many other options) so if you have young clones or seedlings, maybe 3-4 feet away I would say. I believe once the plants are mature enough you want to get a 400 watt about ten inches from the tops of your plants (18 for a 1000 watt) If it burns your hand, it will be burn your plant..otherwise, try and see how low you can get w. them. Are they air cooled hoods?
razzapiggy Reviewed by razzapiggy on . New Wave Tek 5 light Hello fellow growers, Im pretty new to growing and decided to go with the Tek 5 setup. You can can either get the 6500k cool or the 3000k warm or both of them together. I would like to use one light setup for the whole grow if possible, so my question is. Should I go with all 6500k cool or all 3000k warm, or do think I should mix them. I was thinking of getting all 3000k warm, Any info would be great, thank you. Rating: 5
