Distance hps agro 400w

Aresgrowstarted grow question 5y ago

hi guys this is the first time I use a 400w hps agro lamp, I have some doubts regarding the distance to keep from the apical tip of the plants, now I'm keeping it at 50 cm but I think I can bring it closer, advice?? Thanks

400 watt hps can be kept much closer than 600 and 1000 watt. Just use the back of your hand and if its comfortable at the distance you want it from your girls, then your plants will be fine. Cheers

Light strips Opinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?

at the moment I'm using a 250W HPS and 2 40W CFL, this takes humidity down. When I will afford LEDs do you think that the humidity will stay as per night or drop down like maximum 10% or it will have same behavior as with hps/cfl combo? Thanks
