distance from light

The tops of some of the plants are only 6 inches from the light, have raised the light as much as possible. They still have 4 weeks until they will be ready. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi there! If you start to see light stress or heat stress or something you can always dim that mars LED and here's quick tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch Basically you limit the output of the drivers to lower the wattage that is pulled from the wall. This way you won't burn the plants and if they are very close the dimming will only do good 'cos there is that maximum light intensity that plants can handle.

Hi mate. I totally agree with Fusion. Your plants are very beautiful and healthy. I guess you may have a couple of weeks more for such great plant. Don't hurry to harvest. So Wouldn't worry much. Cant see how your setup is but if there are bars at the top of your grow room use some tire ups to fix the lights as close to the ceiling as possible.

Nearly everyone grows a bit too big at first. Supercrop, if it is an issue. You don't want to burn things. guessing about your lights -- that's REALLY CLOSE!!! lol... 18-24 is probably optimal, but could be wrong. all lights are different.. .even if heat at 6" isn't a problem, number of photons (umol/s) could be... just depends. If you don't get paling leaves that eventually bleach out in an interveinal way, the light isn't too strong. If you don't have 'better' development under the canopy, that's another indicator you are okay. If trichomes are evaporating off the top, the lower nugs will look more crystalized. Development of buds should occur top-down, not bottom-up. That's a sign of a problem if it is bottom-up development. raise lights, if so. i am only fairly sure you'll see some issues at that distance... wait and see, though.. first hint of leaves getting pale or crispiness, you better super crop your canopy so it's the distacen Mars recommends (check their website).

Hi buddy if it grows too close to the light, you can find it with a thread under the headbud, and tie it to the tent poles so that the head of the plant bends down :-)

Looking good friend. There autos just let them do there thing. Your a bit bright green on your leaves, I'd lower the pH just a touch. Easiest way is just to add few drops of lemon juice to your next watering.
