    I wasn’t sure where to post this, basically I got the light half way through my last grow and had it at the max height I could I think it was 26 inch, and I only had it powered about half way the rest of the grow but I’m unsure what heights and power to use from the start, someone did say if I needed any help they are using the same but I can’t find the person now
    Cheers peeps
    I smoke pretty much all of the time so if I waffle shit please forgive me lol

    From the top of the plant. Damn thats gonna be tight
    Set her to 25% and increase 5% every couple of days. Watch the plant to see how she reacts. I dont think you will be able to run it 100% that close without damage to the plants.

    Could you not set your fan and filter outside the wardrobe and blow out thru the filter rather than sucking out with it in the wardrobe? Gain a few extra inches."

    3 foot at seedlings 100% power. If they stretch move em closer by a couple inches. I run my 250w that way so you should be fine with a 150w

    2 foot for veg

    18inches - 2 foot for flower.

    Watch for bleaching/stress and back it off couple inches at a time if needed. Its very easy to fry the shit out of ya plants ( I've done it to one of mine this run)

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    Cheers m8 I’ll have to start the light off low powered like u say as the fan would be a lot louder on the outside of the drobe I think and I’m paranoid to put it in a silence box lol

    Yes m8 next one, just trying to get a constant supply going, I’ll have to have a think of a bigger space, it’s just the stealthiness of the drobe I like

    I'm planning a grow with the 150W HLG 288 also.

    I see so many posts talking about being 45cm - 100cm about the top of a plant!? Sounds like such a large gap?

    I was reading a guide on SCROGging which I'm planning to do and they're talking about powerfull lights and for LED's they're saying as low as 25cm!

    In fairness - re reading this guide https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-for...crogging-noobs!!... it suggests 38 - 40cm for a 300w HPS....

    Looking on vivid's site they say this 150 is about the same as a 300W HID... same as HPS right?

    Given that - surely 38cm or maybe even less with an LED is fine!?

    from that guide... '...The closer you get the better off you are...'
