ahhhh good ideas, I might try the horizontal approach, at 12-18 inches with my 300w led, I noticed the tips of the leaves were starting to scorch, so I moved it back to about 30 inches, and experimented a little bit, and the tips of the plants leaves always seemed like they were getting scorched, i switch the mainly the T5 and i never had that problem again. It could be that my light is just too focused I was told to get a movable light rail, but I am trying to do this as cheap as possible and T5 is giving good results, but I will try out your suggestion, thank you!

the burnt tips might be your Nutes too strong, or not ph'ed. You have to ph every feeding, but I'm sure you know that. I have (2) 400 watt LED, I have them at 12 -15" and on the side I have T5 bloom spectrum and I feel you get a nice light spread. without the power of HPS. Which I have and don't use..
Also, don't hang them just strait down, use angles, make the light cross paths, compounding strength, on a small garden.
ahhhh very interesting cool I will keep that in mind, honestly i have no giving them any extra nutriets since i mixed the dirt for the pots, just a 1/8th teaspoon of organic fert.. the soil and the fert, are both "coast of maine" id rather not give them any more fert, if i dont have to... Id like them to be as natural tasting as possible, but if i notice a deficiency I will add a bit more.. but maybe its the water, I have never ph'd the water, or even tested the ph, because I am been giving them only 'poland spring' water and i figured it must be good because i love it hahahah, but the tips of the leaves seemed to get better when i cut down the time on the L.E.D. but im going to take your advice on the angle of the lights and see if that helps me out, thanks for the advice, anything i can pick up will help me
