Lush led seedling distances

[Ger09]

Hi folks ,

Anyone else using the lush lumenator 2x ? I am just wondering what heights ye keep the light over seedlings ?according to their charts its around 46 inches but that seems a bit far .I can't seem to get any reply from lush on this so hopefully someone on here knows from experience.

Cheers

If its a 100-200w LED I would say about 24" minimum.
200-600 LED I would say 36-46".
They put out a LOT of light, and I made the mistake of keeping them too close at first. stunted growth, taco leaves, and some other problems were present.
definitely a good idea to have enough distance.

Dont follow any general hanging distances other than information directly from the light manufacturer. if you do anywhere near as far as the above post, you will end up with 4-5 inch internodes. Just spend the 20$ on a lux meter if your phone doesnt have a quality light sensor. Keep your seedlings around 35k-40k lux and you will have a good base for a bushy plant.
