Just turned 74 and have yet another \"join the twenty first Century\" problem and can\'t find any real information...
My seed starting has been \"heat mat and fluorescent tubes\" forever.
Then my Mantis Tiller throw\'s me to the patio and tears my rotator cuff and dislodges my sacroiliac joint!
Now I can\'t adjust my lights over my plants...
Changed to LEDs and the tomatoes all turned white...
I\'m Tom the Tomato Man, by the way, according to my wife\'s church.
I need help in the distance between the plant and the LED fixture.
I tried the Oregon State Extension service...they quoted Oklahoma U. factoid...
Any help appreciated.
