Name: Big Bill Livonia Michigan (Zone 6a) If you need to relax, grow plants!!
If you raised the plants from 2' away from the lights to 4-6", you could reduce the hours from 16 to ten or twelve.
Light intensity might be 1/10 of maximum at two feet. But if you get them to 3-4" below, you can get the full intensity and cut the hours.
Orchid lecturer, teacher and judge. Retired Wildlife Biologist. Supervisor of a nature preserve up until I retired.
