Just curious, LED lighting question.

I cant recall where I seen this,

If your running say 700w LED light, and the plant is in vegitative stage (perfectly healthy)

If you decided to raise the light slightly 1-2" and the leaves go from straight out to pointing up....

Would that be considered a) bad, too little light? (Stretching) or b) good and they are happy?

I cant provide a picture sample Just been doing lots of reading! I keep getting mixed answers when i search it!


Also, If I had the same system, would it be better to have bloom switch on even in vegitative stage? Yes i understand the wave length aspect. But would the red be benificial even slightly to a vegging plant?

From what i understand stretching literally has to do with the growth only. Plants with too little light actually droop if im correct. But leaves pointing up on the other hand is good. Also just run the veg light if thete is an option while in veg. Red isnt going to change anything in veg. it wont hurt nor help

So until bloom its just a waste of power. Roger.

I wouldnt say a waste but just not needed, Its over kill. Really depends on the light though. Follow the manufactures recommendations.
