Proper Distance to Hang Full Spectrum LED Grow Lights

Keeping the proper distance between your full spectrum LED grow lights and your plants is important to robust photosynthesis and growth.  Your LED grow light provides the wavelengths of light your plants need for growth and flowering. G8LED grow lights are formulated to the photosynthetic activation radiation (PAR) wavelengths necessary for plant growth.  Plants will reach for the much coveted light source just like they grow towards the sun in outdoor conditions.  The general rule of thumb is to increase the distance between the top of the plants’ canopy and the light source as the light becomes more intense. This means that hydroponic LED grow lights of different power ratings will perform best at different distances. A smaller, less intense light like the G8-120 LED Grow Light should be hung 18-24 inches from the top of the canopy. The G8-240 should be hung at 24-30 inches. Larger lights like the G8-450 should be hung at 30-36 inches from the top of the canopy. More intense lights such as the G8-600 and G8-900 LED Grow Lights should be hung 36-42 inches from the top of the canopy of your plants. Maintain these distances as your plants grow in the vegetative stage. Once you start to flower you do not have to keep moving the lights up to avoid stretching.
