My a51 light arrived the other day and the plants seem to love it. On nice warm sunny days I take them outside, but on cloudy ones like today, they stay under the light. Finally able to run them at an 18-6 cycle. It's only been a couple of days, but they are growing like crazy, so much faster than the older ones that relied on the sun when it was nearly always overcast. Anyway, I've got my light about 36" above the plants near a window so they get plenty of fresh air and a little ambient sunshine. I believe I read that 36" is right for veg and 24" for flower. Yeah?
I've noticed a big difference between the A51-135 and other led lights on youtube. The light from those seem to be almost completely pink (red) while this one is 90% white with just a few red bulbs. What's the deal? Forgive me, I'm not smart enough or knowledgable enough to understand all the numbers and highly technical answers I get when I search the forums.
Thanks for the recommendation. If I hadn't lost my debit card, I would have already purchased a timer so I wouldn't have to set my alarm to wake me up to turn the lights on or off, lol.
