Well plants doing great, no issues hitting 24 hr dark period when the lights come on back to flower. Going to water with vege nutrients 1 more then flush and start bloom
I have multiple hortilux 1000 double ended hps running at 1100 watts
How high above canopy is safe now I'm sitting at 4 feet all is good starting 3rd week of flower been told to lower the lights after stretch is finished but I'm not sure , anyhow any information helps
Thanks
Bring them down to 28", then slowly, a couple inches a day, and watch how they respond .. when you get the sweet spot you'll know. Too far and the tops will go into reveg, throw nanners possibly, foxtail, and yellowing or bleaching if too close... A couple inches a day won't cause extreme changes, and give you time to adjust.. keep in mind, in early flower, lights too close can spread the bud spacing, so watch the growth and use the light height as a means of controlling the node spacing..once the flowers are set, and slowed their stretch, then is time to inch it down as far as you can without going past that sweet spot... Cheers!
U should be able to get them within 2 feet as long as u got fans moving adequate air between the lights and your canopy! But remember lowering your lights will reduce their footprints,spread and coverage. But as ur running multiple fixtures that shouldn't be a problem for u. Just ensure to eliminate hot spots from your HIDS and ull be good at 24 inches.
