I can get plants within a 3 watt x 100 a few inches. For 5 watt that pushes out about 6 inches for an example a Mars. That's why I like Galaxyhydro for blooming... with T5 on the sides.

I've got 2 galaxyhydro 300w and I tried them in bloom but all my under foliage below about 6" from the tops started dying so I use them in my veg now (with t5's on the side). I also have to keep my at least 6" away or they'll burn.

LED's don't run very hot right? Would it not be better to move the light closer?

They don't run hot but the spectrum or something about LED's is too "harsh" for the plant so it's recommended to keep them about a foot away, too close and the plants react negatively towards it. This may be incorrect as I don't use LED and have only read some things here and there.

Yes i did move them closer after i took that picture, there about 12 in or so from the canaopy just to get the most light coverage. They are doing pretty well for 2 and half weeks.

Yeah they are all getting trained and will be under a scrog net to get the most out of the leds.
