    Yeah, at least when using the 6% bulb it was enough to make the difference. I imagine you’d wanna do at least 4” if not more if you’re using a 12% bulb. Funny enough I’ve switched back to my older fixture though 😂 because the LED was so intense it was frying both my pothos and my panther...

    Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out. My quickly growing panther, Ickis, is interesting. On the first day I had him, he ate right out of my hand, but in the weeks and couple months since I've gotten him he's gotten increasingly shy and defensive, often rotating away on the...
