One of the most common mistakes beginner growers make is placing grow lights too close or too far away from their plants.
Correct light distance ensures plants receive enough light without causing heat stress or light burn.
Recommended Grow Light Distance
Seedlings
24–36 inches
Vegetative stage
18–24 inches
Flowering stage
12–18 inches
Always monitor plants for signs of stress such as leaf curling or bleaching.
Tips for Adjusting Grow Lights
• Raise lights as plants grow
• Monitor plant response daily
• Use adjustable light hangers
The right lighting setup can dramatically improve plant growth and yield.
