12" light height is to close IMO. The manuals that come with led lights that show recommendations for height and intensity are often way too much.

Seedling stage - I run at 36" height, 20% intensity
Veg - 30" height, 30%-40% intensity. Let plant grow to 24" and move light back to 30"
Flower - I stay at veg settings and after a few weeks start increasing intensity until middle of flower, let it ride at higher intensity for a few weeks and start lowering intensity again toward harvest.

I also don't like to ever have my lights closer then 18" in flower, flipping at the right time for photoperiods so you have plenty of head space for the stretch is important.

The higher your light is over your plants, the more coverage you will have. Think of it like shining a flashlight at a wall, as you get closer the beam (area it lights up) gets smaller.
If your light has to be closer, lowering intensity will compensate.

In my 8x4 tent, instead of moving the light all the time I decided to keep it at the top of my tent and adjust intensity only throughout the grow.
Moving lights all the time can be a pain so if it works out well in my 8x4, I will do the same in the other 2 tents.
I’ll keep what you say under consideration. Thanks for the pointers, I still have lot to learn as you can see.

Tents are ready, pay day is approaching, and then I'll have to wait for my @RoyalQueenSeeds seeds to ship home. I am running two tents with the same exhaust.Using LED lighting, the lights hung 12 inches above the canopy. Each tent contains an oscillating fan and two cameras for daily monitoring. Will do by pH at 6.5 and will use organic soil and organic fertilizer such as Dr Earth 2-2-2 and Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1. I plan to buy OG Kush and Trainwreck for feminized photoperiod seeds as of Friday.
I didn’t even know you started a topic for this! Wanna see how that dr. Earth turns out for ya!

Have you solved the one tent being hotter issue? Maybe reduce size of the exhaust line in the cooler tent as it may be getting the majority of the airflow sonn no it can pull on the hotter tent a bit more (can get a baffle for both tent exhaust lines and adjust that way? Pretty cheap to grab a collar and a baffle to add to each one

I’m still debating if I should just get a bigger tent with everything new or just get each tent their individual tent. Its to hot tbh
