So the move is complete. These lovely ladies have now moved into their room. Along with moved from the 2000 to the 4000. I can't wait to see how this works I know it's a learning curve . I right now have a inline fan that's moving 400 CMF so we'll see if it's enough. And it's my first time using a very large tent and a large light. stuck to see how it goes the journey begins happy budding everyone.
The node spacing is not ideal but it could be that strain. It looks like you are passed the stretch faze now so they shouldn't stretch anymore. Could also be them not getting enough par light or the colour spectrum doesn't have enough blue. But most likely it's just a stretchy strain.
Has nothing to do with Height from lights. With FL the min rec distance is 45cm. With that and the ppfd.. you had to over been clocking over 700ppfd so more than enough to sustain a plant without causing a stretch.
The spectrum with your led. Is designed and set to a exact standard for all types of growth. Full spectrum. When you add a new light. You need to match the spectrum that is needed in said stage of growth. Blue MH would of served you better until you out of the danger window of tricking your plant into thinking its been out-shadow. Trust me. Its your added FL light.. go through Tropicana Todd's diaries. He used FL/ HIDS but used the right spectrum at the right stage and amazing results.
Next time. If you decide to add extra light from OG bulbs. Get a San light ballast kit Blue and red.
They look for the light and stretch, to fix this next time bring the light closer to them because in flowering they need stronger PPFD so they don't stretch like that download the PPFD meter 😎
I mean it looks like from the beginning they stretched and searched for the light. 🤔
So a spin-off of my three week autos. Why they're growing above 45+ in. And even in veg my numbers were never below 700 at 24 in .Here are my PPFDs metered by the light at 14 inches in full flower mode, 100% power
I greatly value everybody's opinion. The only thing I think I failed with is a little bit of leak through between the separation and my tent. They are on the same spectrum at the same levels. I just veg them a little longer so I can get them taller. Look at them now. Thanks every
Looks great, still needs some bulking weeks.
And light leaks are really of no consequence when growing auto flowers like this, so that isn’t a big deal, or even a deal at all.
