These days I'm finishing the flowering cycle with strawberry banana and g13. In the other side of the tent I have a small led that will take care of my girls for their first days, before they move under a bigger led and planted into the autopot system.
The first week was good for all 8 of my girls.
They have rooted properly and are growing fast and nice. I guess they will spend around one more week in these pots in this setup, as I'm at the moment harvesting my old round.
But when that's done these little plants will go to they're future spot, tangerine sorbet under 600w LED and shiskaberry under 1000w HPS.
I'm wondering if anyone here has a experience with Lumatek Zeus Pro 2.9, I bought it in December and just finished the first round, it worked great but I'm still wondering about the hight above the plants, is it necessary to keep a certain close distance?
Télécharge l application Photone. Tu le réglé sur ymol/m2/s.
Semis entre 100 et 300
Croissance entre 400 et 600
Floraison entre 800 et 1000
Après à toi de juste jouer avec le dimmer et la distance ;)
It's a light meant for close up grows m0use that's why lights like half the price with the same strength, them you have to be careful. You have a few there. It's built for close up grows and takes light stress as much as it can out of the pic. It has a decent and more than enough PPF 1770 and a high 2.9 umol. Allowing you to get closer and still get a high as a harvest if not higher than a higher PPF and a light with lower umol. If you look at similar 600 watt lights you can't get that close cause the PFF but this is still high enough but not extreme, no other light has perfect PFF and such a high umol 2.9 crazy. Great buy you got a germ on your hands.
That's a serious light you got their, congrats.
Hanging distance is determined by how strong the light is. and when they get really strong it's also determined by how much co2 is in the air.
Dimmers also help defuse the intensity.
So in short it 100% matter how close it is. a difference of 10" can mean a PPFD of 900 vs 400 on some lights and that's a lot of energy.
The manufacture has a grow light calculator that tells you what to do for the size of your tent.

Also if you look on its product page it give a link to its spec sheet, download in PDF

It will show you its PPFD map. its impressive.
I would suggest reading up on what PPFD is and watching some educational videos to get the most use out of your light.
There are a few good people on youtube who break it down very well. One of them even has their own brand of LED's
www.youtube.com/watch = he is king
www.youtube.com/c/MIGROLIGHT = love his lab like tests and results.
Best Of Luck!
That was a good week.
My girls grew very good and by the end of this week I planted them into the autopot system. Now the Tangerine sorbet is under 600w LED but only on 50% power. The Shiskaberry now is under 400w metal halide and will later get a 1000w hps.
Another great week for my girls. Things are going good and both strains thrive.
I'm dealing with some thrips but have ordered some bugs that should take care of that.
I topped the girls this week, planning some SCROGing.
So this week I put the net into the tent and started some low stress training. I'm tying the new tops that came after I topped the plants to the net, and like that I will make a green screen before turning them into flowering.
That had been one crazy week.
The plants grow very fast and I spent a while every day just tying downs branches and defoliating.
Tha plants look great, I expect alot of good buds to come there and I just sent it to flowering!
Wow these plants grow like crazy at the moment, they are in the flowering stretch and the screen has lifted far up from where it was.
The plants are making alot of strong looking flower sticks, let's hope they will carry big flowers!
I stopped defolating or doing anything else with the plants, now I just let then grow.
The plants keep on growing good. The Tangerine sorbet is stretching alot, making alot of nice stems.
I'm having problems with moisture, my dehumidifier is not managing completely.
Let's hope it won't harm the plants to much!
I have some bad new.. my space is not managing the flowering of the while tent, until now I always used only half of the tent but wanted to try to double my grow.
The problem is that it gets way to how and way to moist, so I took the shiskaberry away and will focus only on the Tangerine sorbet.
Great start. Can't wait to see what this light can do in close combat allowing to reach them lower sites without bleaching the colas. Very interesting. Good luck.
