How far from my plants should LEDGrowLights be placed?
Position red and blue lights 12-24 inches from the plants. Positioning red and blue lights too close to plants may result in unacceptable growth.
Full-spectrum lights may be placed as close as 3 inches to your plants.
Growing Tips:
Reducing the distance between a light and the plants by one half increases the intensity of the light reaching the plant by four times.
Use more blue light to produce sturdier seedlings and to help contain trailing, sprawling or aggressive plants.
For leaf crops, switch to all red light at the end of the growing cycle to increase yields.
Blue lights may be used alone as a supplement for HPS lighting.
Red lights may be used as a supplement for sunlight or MH lights
