Thats what I found out many many grows ago. And so I wonder the same about 12/12 I don't like to get the light close being I think it slows down the buds and less goo. Plus light bleaching, etc.

how bad is light bleaching,i get that on all of my plants about 10 inches from the 600hps,should i move it up

They would grow alot better and faster.

anything below 1000 watts should b kept 6-10 inches away.. 1000 watts should be at least 12 inches away

That method does not work in Pantha's garden. Gives them light burn, and you know thats wrong..
Myself I would never put them that close.

From Jan High Times ~ Dear Danko
Below are basic guidelines

1,000 watt: 16-24
600 watt: 14-20
400 watt: 12-18
250 watt: 8-14
Fluorescents: can be kept within several inches of tops.

I currently have a 2ft by 3ft space that is about 8ft high. I am using a 600 watt mh they are about 3 or 4 weeks in veg. My exhaust works absolutely terrifically (surprisingly cause i just have a homedepot 6inch inline fan pulling through my reflector) In any case, i can get the light closeee, especially when the temps start getting cold outside. How close should a put the light, its at about a foot above the tops right now *assuming heat is not a problem*. (they are in 3gallon pots). Heres a pic. What is ideal? Should it be closer in flower than veg?

I think what works best for each of us in our own gardens is the best way

I see alot of gardens first hand and all different methods, but I only apply what works for me. That makes better sense
