Lights low directly above canopy (flowering) or up high for larger footprint. I have 4x4x6.5 tent and 2 cheaper hlg led panels. Manufacturers suggest minimum 1 foot but a friend keeps telling me to drop em. Thoughts?

2 HLG 100's isn't really enough light, but they seem to being doing pretty damn good. I have a few of them. I would leave them where they are now for better spread in that 4x4.

They light it up pretty good, I have considered adding another or two. This is my maiden grow and eventually i want more than 1 lady flowering at a time. Appreciate the advice.

They're great lights. I have many HLG lights. I actually have 2 HLG 100's in my flower closet now because I haven't put my new 260's in yet, and they work great. I also have 2 260 Rspec's, and a 135 Rspec in there. It's about a 3x8 closet.

You can have them within 8 inches of your canopy in veg and id say 10" from your tops in flower
