right now I have boxed myself into a corner, a heavy snowfall mrevented me from getting my (heated) shed setup with my grow tent. so I was forced to ad-hock a small LED in a closet. Today I am setting up an empty closet with a proper 600W MH HID suspended from the roof, to get the light closer, I will also have a 6" fan hooked up to the hood. That being said, how far away would you recommend I hang the light from my plants? - Update: I started setting that up and realized how ridiculously oversized it was, I'm building a small propogation setup using 3 75W plant lights.

@bobo420, I'm hoping to have everything setup in my shed this weekend, then I will do the move to the 1000W when I transplant.

@RedEyedRenegade, when are you going to move them to that 1000w?

@RedEyedRenegade, Light Closest~ Sunlight Furthest 150W 8" (20cm) 10" (25cm) 12" (30cm) 250W 10" (25cm) 12" (30cm) 14" (35cm) 400W 12" (30cm) 14" (35cm) 19" (48cm) 600W 14" (35cm) 16" (41cm) 25" (64cm) 1000W 16" (41cm) 22" (55cm) 31" (79cm) But keep it 50cm away from the plants till 2 or 3 sets of leaves are there to take all that light in! Regardless of heat,lightburn is always an issue with HID.Not on here yet but been using 600w MH/HPS setup 2 years now and learned that the hard way early on.. You can always bury a bit from the stem when you transplant,given that it is hard enough,it will just grow roots when covered and lightly watered around it.

That 1000w is going to make a considerable change, she's had a rough couple of weeks

@bobo420, Yes they have. Hopefully once they get over the shock of the transplant all three will start to flourish.

I’d put some blue painters tape around the nicked branch. You should be able to take the tape off in about a week.

Always a follower of Canuk Seeds. I am assuming you bought the Puk.

RedEyedRenegadecommented7 years ago

@AbroCadabro, Yeah, I started the 3 cinderella 99's last weekend, they just sporouted.

KushKingcommentedweek 27 years ago

Those are extremely stretched, you need to get the light closer.

RedEyedRenegadecommented7 years ago

@KushKing, Thanks man, I'll get that moved around right away.

They look better but for week 5 they should be couple of times bigger. You need to increase your temp, 21 is a bit low

bobo420commentedweek 27 years ago

For HPS 10W~1cm should be a safe distance, but it's always best to measure and check that your canopy isn't getting worm

KushKingcommentedweek 27 years ago

There's quite a bit you need, if you are willing to put a couple hundred dollars in to this we could really help you turn this around... I'm willing to help you if you are interested, as that's how I learned how to grow. :)

What light are you using?
