Hey everyone. How far should LED grow lights be placed away from my Fukien Tea 51cg? I have not purchased them yet, but am going to shortly. I¡¯m going to keep the bonsai indoors when it¡¯s too rainy and/or no sun. Any advice would be great!

That just depends on what light you are using. Please check manufacturer recomendations.

Ok. They are full spectrum lighting but I do not want it to flower. Only focus on growth. They aren¡¯t specifically made for bonsai (if they have such lighting systems. I¡¯m very new to this.). They are general grow lights if that makes a difference.

Not many of us have " indoor" bonsai, and I think even fewer are using growing lights. I think you might get better answers in a regular houseplant forum, I hear they are using these lights more.
