Is it ok for the light to be 15in away from the plants and turned all the way up? I know they’re supposed be stretching so wasn’t sure if the light needed to be higher.Imo nothing wrong with rainwater if it's clean. You may need to add back some minerals like calcium or magnesium if your nutes aren't meant for rain/RO/distilled water.
Again nothing is a rule but being aware of the differences is important.

Dang ok I’ll move it up when they wake up later. But you think having it at full power is ok?15" to close. I'm gonna say about 24"
Why would you do that when you have a dimmer?Dang ok I’ll move it up when they wake up later. But you think having it at full power is ok?

It was my understanding that during flower you want more light closer to the plant. Must have been my mistake.Do you enjoy getting sun burned?
You do but I think that's to much. You can try it and see how they respondIt was my understanding that during flower you want more light closer to the plant. Must have been my mistake.
Gotcha. Sorry still learning here! Will be much more knowledgeable on my 2nd grow.You do but I think that's to much

Somebody might recommend a light meter app for you soon but if you want to check it out old school you put the back of your hand at the height of the plant tops and hold it there for a solid 30 seconds and what you feel is what the plants feel all the time; it's a pretty good indicator of whether your light is too close or not good luckIt was my understanding that during flower you want more light closer to the plant.

So many mistakes I made on this grow!! I’m surprised they have even made it this long. Thanks to you guys on this site I’m hoping the next grow will go much smootherSomebody might recommend a light meter app for you soon but if you want to check it out old school you put the back of your hand at the height of the plant tops and hold it there for a solid 30 seconds and what you feel is what the plants feel all the time; it's a pretty good indicator of whether your light is too close or not good luck

Yeah bro LD nailed it... Nobody makes a perfect grow. The more mistakes you make the more you learn and the better grower you will become. After a while you intentionally will try things just to learn. We all started there, nothing to be ashamed about. One benefit is you can draw on the experience of others to help speed up the learning.So many mistakes I made on this grow!! I’m surprised they have even made it this long.

Nope it's not linear like that but I can't remember the ratio of loses. You can search online.Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think a light 2 ft above is 1/4. as Brite as the same light at 1 ft. Knowing that might help figure out the dimmer.
