Indoor 2.0

So typically all manufacturers will have a recommended distance for their lights for each stage. Unfortunately not all leds are the sam regardless of the specifics. However i believe a good safe zone in general for LEDs with seedlings like yours is around 20-24 inches. I dont think you ever want them over the 30s unless its unbelievably powerful. Then as your plant gets a bit older youll be able to move the light down, 18inches, 15inches, but always do a hand check and place it right at the canopy and see if your hand can tolerate 30 seconds without being too hot. Good luck with your little ladies. Happy vegging ✌️

Hi @Potagonia! Yes you can keep the rootzone while drying the whole plant upside-down, this will result in a longer drying process and is supposed to increase the amount of cannabinoids in the buds. I've tried this last year and did not notice any kind of improvement, despite the longer drying process. However, it's stil a good idea to keep the roots, because roots are valuable if you know what to do with it. Indeed, you can use roots to create your own medicine: lip balm, skin cream, anti inflammatory, pain relief paste...So don't throw out your roots unless you really don't know what to do with it. A basic usage is to boil stems & roots for a great canna-infused tea. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date, and enjoy your harvest! 👊
