Where should the plant grow light be placed?
How far should the LED light be from the plant? This is a problem that everyone is very concerned about, and it is prone to many misunderstandings, especially when Plants is grown. This is usually a more frequently mentioned problem.
For seedlings, LED grow lights should usually be installed between 24-36 inches above the plant canopy-however, this depends on the power (wattage) of the light source. Place the LED planting light farthest away from the seedlings (~36 inches)-this keeps the heat and light intensity low and helps prevent the seedlings from drying out. Once the root system is established and budding, the light can be moved closer (usually within the first 2-3 weeks).
 
During the plant growth stage, the LED planting light should be 12-24 inches from the top of the canopy. At this stage, photosynthesis requires more light, so the light source should be located near the plant.
 
As the plant enters the flowering period, the need for strong light decreases. The top leaves of the canopy should be 18-24 inches from the light source to produce flowers. It is at this stage that the height of the plant increases and the fruit grows. Depending on the light and how you want your crops to grow, you don’t have to change the height of the light during the flowering process, especially when you don’t want tall plants.

How far should the LED planting light be from the seedlings?
In the initial stages of growth, the seedlings are very fragile and require less light intensity. This means you don't want to increase the strength too early, because the seedlings will multiply in a more gentle way. Depending on the size of the light, the growing light can be safely kept somewhere between 24-36 inches from the top of the soil.
 
How far away should the LED grow light be used?
As plants grow, their needs change. After the vegetative phase is completed, the plant enters the flowering or "flowering" phase. For mature factories, they have become necessary places for thriving. During the flowering stage, the LED planting light should be located between 16-36 inches from the plant canopy. Moving the growth light closer will increase the light intensity, thereby maximizing photosynthesis. However, if the grow lights are too close to the top of the plant, they may cause the growth range to expand, spread or even destroy the plant.
 
How far should the LED grow light be from the plant clonal tissue
Plants cloning is a process in which cuttings or cuttings of mature plants are used to grow another plant of the same kind. The growing light distance of the LED above the clone is different from the height required for the seedling. For cloning, they will need strong light to start. Depending on the light intensity and maturity of the plant, the difference between 14-36 inches from the top of the plant canopy can be large.
 
What about other growth stages?
According to each stage of growth, plants need different levels of light. In order to know exactly how far the light the plants should grow, it is important to consider the different stages of growth. It is also important to consider the power output of the grow light-this is usually related to the power of the light source, which is the main factor in determining the optimal distance for the LED when starting the growth process.
Plant growth can be roughly divided into three stages-nursery, nutrition and flowering stages. Different stages have different distance requirements and lighting time requirements.
