I have 6 plants under a 600W MH...my room is at 75f and 40% humidity. I just started with clones...veg. Is this ideal? Any adjustments? ALSO I have my light about 2ft away the plants. Ok distance?

Thanks for your advice. :leaf:

Temp and humidity sounds good, hand test always worked for me so far if it burns the back of your hand it's too close, if not your golden. Don't over love um LOL. MD

What kind of clones?
What are you growing in?
I grow in an E N B in my Veg and Hempy to flower.
I am only running 216 watts of T5 HO light next to a 95 watt.

As far as I understand it, vegging plants like higher humidity than that, more like 75% - it's when they are flowering that you want it low, like 45.

600w HPS will burn the top off your plants at 2ft if not air-cooled

I have my hps about 1.5'', and my veg is about 1' away from canopy top. too high of lighting causes stretching.

I am using 1x 600w xxl cool tube hoods in veg and 2x 600w big kahuna a/c hoods in flower. i can place my hand on my big kahuna hoods glass and its not too hot to burn my hand even after a few minutes on the glass.

The glass is only hot in the middle for me...not super hot I can have my hand on glass for a bit.. Should I lower the light? Its currently at 2ft away from plants.

like what was said above, use the back of your hand method fro determining how high or low to place your lights.

I use a humidifier in my clone room to raise r/h levels.

When the light is off should my oscillating fan or intake fan be running? or everything off?
