Quick question I can’t find and exact answer anywhere on here. I am in mid flower, using about 190w blurple panel. I added some side lighting, 4 9w 3000k A19 bulbs. I took the diffusers off. Just wondering how far away they should be. I have them only a couple inches away.

thats cause there is no simple answer. 12"-18" should work with a setup that size but you really need to watch your plants

Pay attention to your plants! They’ll tell you way more than we can!

Just to clarify the blurple is 8” away. I’m not changing that. I was just wondering about the bulbs that I added. I figure since there’s like no heat it’s like a cfl and that I can put it as close as I want.

I put em like 2” away and didn’t want to come home from work to burned plants. That’s why I asked here.

NOT like CFL. These are quite a bit more efficient then that tech.
