Hello a all, I have a 2 plant rdwc in a 4x4x8 tent with 800w actual draw from the wall led lights, my question is, how close should the lights be to the seedlings and is that too much light, thanks in advance
Its actually 2 400w lightsRead up about your light. Mine only uses 250 actual watts and says it needs to be 26" away from seedlings but idk about 800
yeah then you only need one of those. Hell you can get seedlings started and healthy with a cfl bulb.Its actually 2 400w lights
What would you do with my set upEvery grow is different.
For about 10 years I have used a T5- 6 bulb 4 foot fixture. That's 324 watts.
I have it run 4 bulbs for new seedlings at 12" for a week. Then drop it down slowly to about 3" and pound them with light and nutes untill I transplant into there final home.
This gives me very compact , full growth.
This is how I do it.
You have now motivated me to put my cob led 8 in. closer to my seedling xd. well its bigger than a seedling anywayEvery grow is different.

Thank youHave 600w led, during seedling stage i keep light 32inc from seedlings, once they get a bit of size i lower it to 2ft this seems to be my sweet spot.
I have led lights....any advice?I use CFL's myself, seedlings and clones alike.View attachment 951345
I have led's also, but I save them for veg and flowering. They're overkill for seedlings IMO. The life expectancy for my led's are 50k hours, I'd rather burn up cfl's and keep my expensive light for the business end of growing, veg and flowering.I have led lights....any advice?
Very nice. CFLs are remarkable for vegging as well if you use enough of them.I use CFL's myself, seedlings and clones alike.View attachment 951345
