Ok so I've read so many threads and articles and watched videos about this but I still have a question and could just quite possibly be way over thinking things. Now I know there is no set height for lights as to the copious amount of variables that come into play i.e. kind of light, size,wattage, size of grow room, individual strains etc, but on average most people seem to say 16-24" flower, 24-30" veg and 30-36" seedling..on average. On top of that people seem to agree on lowering your light roughly 5% per week. So for someone that cant dial in a strength % and has to raise and lower their lights, am I really lowering the light so much as the plant naturally grows up toward the light? Currently my light is 42" above seedlings and they seem to being doing well and not stretching too much, 36" seemed too much for them. So let's say I follow that 5% rule. That means next week I would technically by those standards lower the light to 40". But let's say by next week my plants have grown 2 inches making them 40" from the light. Do I still lower the light or does it just come down to experimentation and getting a feel for it? Thanks in advance to anyone who understands my ramble. Lol
