The search function is your friend, but since we are Newbie Centeral, we will let it slide. I'm not sure about your distance question, maybe start at a foot and a half and move it down two inches every day until you observe ill effects. Someone else can probably give you a better answer. Your light is fine for veg too. It's pretty high wattage, so you will be wasting some power for a while until your plants can absorb all of what your light has to offer, but it will definitely get you there.

When you switch to flower, the stage after veg, keep your lights at 12/12 and keep them there.

What brand is your LED? I use Mars hydro 600's for my veg and i have noticed for seedlings 2 + feet is ideal for my method. It stretched them a little early on but it makes it much easier to LST later.


as far as flowering goes there are quiet a few time lapse LED grow videos that show promising results, How many plants do you have under this 1200 watt and are you growing in a 4x4 footprint ?

That being said when it comes to flowering I use 1000 WATT HPS's with the LEDs as supplementary light source

thankyou all .
