What’s a good distance for the light for a seedling?

Juggernaut23 · Jun 23, 2020

Hey guys. I’m using a 100 LED light about 26cm above my babes. This is day 6, finally got rid of the dome. temperature averaging 24-26 and humidity 60-70. Good distance at this stage? I’ve also got a 600w HID light..waiting for them to get a little bigger before bringing it out. thoughts?

More information on the light needed. Make, model, driver, is it dimmable?
Is it really 100 watts? If so it would fry them that close.

I’ve kept it at that distance since germination..been 6 days. They look alright no?

Yes they look ok. Just keep light were you have it now and keep an eye on them
.....consuming only 35w Its a 35 watt light. Covers a 1ft x 1ft area
Here's a guide for distance from their website

Anyhow, probably hang it around 15" for seedlings and 8" - 10" veg going by their numbers.
Good luck
