Should I just use the back of my hand method? or go by the looks of my plants and adjust accordingly???? I am using 250 hps for 2 plants in 3 gallon pots. Temp is between 78 F and 80 F during light hours. humidity is between 40 and 45 percent. Right now, I have my light 20'' away from my plants. They are on day 9. Thanks!!!!!

Google Google Google if he cant do it no body can!
google this stuff man!!!!
I keep my plants 12-18 inches away from my hps bulb at all times. Seedlings I keep 24'' or more away.

I post pictures, and tell them everything bout my grow op. They know my plants are seedlings, and are around the pre veg stage. But I have READ, and A lot of PEEPS on here have said, "get that thing as close as you can to the light" It need s to be close to the light they say. I get it. Its like im some peeps dont even read what forum I am posting my threads on, to help give me advice, or they are just not paying any damn attention at all.

I trust the hand method and always have , give a little extra spacing for the variables in ambient temps ..

Hey bawse, ur going to run into all kinds of wanna b experts on here or wherever & everyone has what works for them, but when I told u urs was too far away thats my belief & found out the hard way because all mine stretched like I told u. But if u watch ur ladies very carefully u can c what they need or dont need, because ultimatly ur the one doing ur growing, not anyone else... I wish u good luck, u will find what works for u, but just watch them carefully

For babys, keep em a a couple feet away, once they get a bit bigger (your judgement comes into play here) move the light down until it's a foot or so away from them. If they start to stretch, move em closer, if they start looking heat stressed, they need more personal space from the light. Listen to your plants, they'll let you know what they need to be happy. And a happy plant produces happy buds. Best of luck!

welcome to rollitup
what i do to figure out the right distance in EVERY stage of growth is this:
-start your lights and let them on for couple of hours
-hang a temp meter,right on top of your seedlings (or next to them of you use a closed propagation box) and let it stand there for another couple hours.
-then check the maximum temperature
Now, adjust your lamps on a height above the plants where temperature (next to the higher tops of the plant) is lower than 25-26 Celcius
->For seedlings i would suggest to put the lamp even higher (to achieve a temp of 22-23).
->after 3rd-4th week you can go as close as you want, as soon as you maintain a temperature of 25 C on the tops of the plant (otherwise they start burning on top)
Many people use a 'cool tube', which helps into ventilating the heat around the lamp and by that way, let you adjust your lamp even 5cm next to the plants without burning them!
TO avoid overfeeding this wonderful forum with the same repeated information (like those i just gave you), next time,
BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD, YOU SHOULD SPEND AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR SEARCHING INTO THE FORUM, because 99% OF THE STUFF PEOPLE ASK, HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER GROWERS IN OLD THREADS.
