New Grower Distance Advice Please: 180w LED (3x60) VIPAR UFO (Ebay)

I think with distances there's some variation between manufacturers though i reckon the difference would be small.

Does your unit actually draw 180 watts ? A lot of 180W lamps only draw 120 watts.

If you find yours draws 120W then you can use my distance regime (i use a 120W LED)

Seedlings : 60cm
Veg : 30cm
Flower 15cm

Assuming there is little variation between different manufacturers' bulbs.


All the best,

Here's my last girl from current grow, she is at day 78 today in this pic.

Because of perspective the buds look ilke they are 4 or 5 inches away but the tallest bud is 6 inches from the LED.

Those distances are really helpful hopefully I can keep my set up the way it is, if they get closer than 30cm in veg and 15cm in flower I will have to move around my set up but will see how it goes. :)
Fresh pics of the set up on the link in my sig pal

latest pics with update on feeds below, still need to get a tape measure in there for the distances and heights but I got some good angles, the tent is 150cm tall so you can see roughly where the light hangs, how tall the pots are etc, think theres at least 20cm maybe more from the led atm, but if they get much taller my extraction is going out to make head room. Week 7, just upping boost and trying to work out my white spots def. Enjoy.

I have been foliar spraying once a week with PM evolution, feeding calmag every couple days (2ml approx), 1ml rhizo, 3.5ml cannazym, 2-3.5ml boost, and approx 0.7ml ph down. Plants are loving it. Got bud sites showing, nice pistols, got two pretty big girls (for the tent) and one shorter girl but she has always been small.
They have taken these nutes well, I have one minor def, white spots showing itself on a leaf or two now and then, I think its either to high humidity or using ph up when to much ph down is added. I have invested in dehumidify hanging bag and mini 500ml dehumidifer to bring down RH. Was up in the +80% few weeks back, now got is between 65-75, hoping the new stuff will get it under 65 (Y).
Planning on upping the nutes now, its week 7 so I am going for a higher bloom ratio feed this week as follows;
Canna A/B: 5ml
Cannazym: 4ml
Rhizo: 0.8ml
Boost: 5ml
Ph down:0.7ml
Calmag: 2ml here and there.
PM Evo: Weekly

Next week will probs up boost again slightly and add the PK13/14, upping the nutes slowly a little daily to see for any signs of nute burn and will lower the boost to 3ml/4ml if need be, anyone else know roughly what day/dose they use PK13/14 on autos? Mine are/were a little stunted at start.

Heres some snaps of the girls so far, on a different camera today.
