How far away from my plants should I hang my grow light?

 The first thing to do is to research your plant’s lighting needs and purchase a bulb or light fixture that provides enough intensity and coverage. If you’re growing houseplants, this is usually 6 to 12 inches away from your plant (for LEDs and fluorescents). Place farther away and watch for signs of heat stress if using anything other than these bulb types. For seed starting, place your light 5 to 12 inches from the top of your seedlings, adjusting as needed.
