Here they are, right as the lights were turned on.

Okay. Day Zero of 12/12.
The little ladies got their first real haircut and a full dose of Jacks321.

No… I’ve never grown this strain before. And it’s only my second indoor grow.
But I’ll let everybody know in about 2 1/2 months!

It always surprises me when I watch the resiliency of our plants…
Here’s Duchess showing off her twistiness.
And we’re not quite done with her yet.

The little ladies are getting some color back after getting their Jacks321 a couple of days ago. I really should have started them on Jack’s a week earlier.
Here are some pictures showing the addition training that Duchess got.
Her growth was a little more spread out, and I wanted to bring it back in a little. I know it’s going to spread more, but now it’s closer to Backup’s diameter.

I just flipped my plants to 12/12 a few days ago.
Currently, my lights are ~18" above the tops of the plants. Different threads suggest conflicting information for the height that the lights should be at for this stage of flower.

My grow area is limited. What height should the my lights be at for now, and what should I be looking for when it comes time to adjust the heights (raise or lower)?
I’ve got 1x HLG (HLG 100 V2 3000K) and 1 Amazon LED special (Lenofocus LED Grow Light 672 LED Full Spectrum White 3000K 5000K Red IR).

I usually go by the manufacturer’s data for starters then adjust to find the sweet spot. I get the light as close as I can until I see a touch of burn on the leaf tips then back off just a couple inches. Ideally you want them as close as you can get them without light bleaching or heat burn. But that’s just how I do it. Watch for the upper leaves getting a taco shape to them. That’s a sign you need to raise them or if the tips start to burn.

That’s what I thought. Manufacturer’s pages say “Veg Footprint: 2.5×2.5FT at 16-18in height” and the other says “output of 450 umol/m²/s at 18 inches”. So I’m basing my distance off of that for now. (and I have no ideas what 450 umoles per meter squared per second means)
But I’ve seen a bunch of threads here (and elsewhere) that have some growers at 2 and 2.5 above the tops, and a few have that have similar lights as close as 12".
If anyone with the basic types of lights similar to mine have their lights set at a different height during flower, I would like to hear how high (or low) their lights are set and the reason why they set them that height.
Kind of like being in the military: if you ask 10 people their secret to spit-shining boots, you’re gonna get 13 answers. I don’t think there’s any real right answer, I just wanted to know what other folks were doing.

Thanks for the input! My most productive plants have been outdoors. When I grow outdoors, it’s not like I thought about how far away I’m gonna put the sun. lol! So easy not to think about!
I appreciate you tagging @happilyretired and @green707thumb. I am still learning who the right people here are to ask for different grows.

I run 1 hlg 260 xl in my 2.75x 3.5 closet I found 21 in to be perfect for flower but I bet you could get as close as 16 in with the 100

i used that same light my first grow. the best i could do was hang it as far down over the tops of my plants and check for heat or any stress. then i threw everything with a lightbulb at them. sides, middle, corners, if i had space it got a lightbulb

Man everybody’s in here runs qb boards huh… mine are at the top of the room as well. I don’t have to worry about height though in all fairness.
