Hey guys went ahead and did the switch middle of last week 🤙. Moved the lights about 18 inches away from canopy. I really think I could move it closer but I’m afraid of the coverage of this 600w hps. Not really to worried about temps, because of the weather cooling down. temps during the day are about 77 degrees and humidity around 45-55. These girls were champs through veg. Really excited to see how flowering goes. Introduced about 400 ppms of mega crop last week. Brought ppms runoff a little higher than I would have liked, around 1300-1500 for some plants. So I’ve only feed water since. Checked ppms runoff today (day 10 of flower) ppms were around 800-1100, so next water I’ll probably feed. Lollipopped, and heavy defoliated last week. I go in every now and again, and removes the ones blocking prime budsites. Pistols just starting to come in on some plants. Thanks for the read, sorry for the long update haha 😆 I was busy in the garden this week 🤘cheers. 😜
hey there skuba, try lowering the lights as much as you can the last week of veg so the plant can "stock up" energy heading into flower, i've found it helps and did it on my own testers if you're looking for more info 👊 🚀
@Skuba, yeah seems like you can go at least another 4 inches down check this out : https://www.growweedeasy.com/how-far-grow-lights , dont worry about coverage that much the way light loses intensity what you make up in coverage you'll have lost twice over for the "low intensity" . Best thing is to add bars to the tent for the sides and the corners. Especially if you're not concerned about temps, go for it ! Hope this helps 🚀
@CRiSPrGrow,🙏thank you. I did end up moving them a little closer, I got them at 18 inches. You think I could them move them closer? it’s an air cooled hood 600w? I’m more worried about light coverage.🧐
