I'm in the forth week and my bubblelicious have been flowering for about a week now. I have 3, each under there own 90 watt led lighting. With my other 2 I'm using cfl's. 1 under each of the lightings have really surpassed the the others. Just wondering though about what distance I should have them from the plants right now?? I still have them about 8 inches out from the tops of each plant. The cfl's are pretty much right on them and just got switched to 6500k the other day. Also can anybody tell me or show me the what a pheno plant looks like or what it even is? Thanks

2 LED cycles with auto's and I can tell you 2-3 inches would be okay as far as distance.

I don't know anything about LEDs I would imagine you would want them as close as you can get them?

A pheno is short for a phenotype. It is the genetic expression of an animal or plant. For instance, my cat had kittens and there are 3 phenotypes: Black ones, white ones and grey ones. Those are the three phenotypes but also they have different color eyes, fur length, etc. All living things are a phenotype of many different features and it's directly related to our DNA.

I was curious of this as well. I have 2 135w (3w diode) UFO's and the manufacturer said to keep them at least 24" above the plants or it could bleach the tips or more. He also said it was dependent on the wattage of the diodes... A 1watt diode would allow you to get closer to the plant tops.
