You are growing in CO2. so y would you grow with the lights so far away? With co2 you can grow in higher temps and you need a ppfd of 1500+ and having your lights that far away you really are setting yourself up for failure, well not failure but not co2 results. Also with co2 bags you need to have them above your plants as co2 falls so raise it up above the middle pole of your tent will be best. And if you have a clip on fan to go in front of it it'll help blow it throughout your tent. Good luck bro. Lower your lights to 20-25cm to get the best out of co2 but with temps and RH you might have to set an exhaust to come on every 5-10mins out of the hour. Only way to get around that is to use an AC unit. And of course you need a sealed tent. About the 24/7. No plant in the world gets 24/7 sun plants need rest. And also running 24/7 your temp will be the same constantly you'll have no terps or very lil. 18/6 or 20/4 will be fine.

No never, all plants, cannabis included, NEED sleep to function properly. 18/6 is optimum. Unless you are growing in a sealed/closed system, using CO2 is largely a waste since most of it will be removed by the fan long before it is of any benefit to your plants.

i still dont see the reason for keeping it at 60cm and running it at 100%. if you have a par meter you can keep at 30cm and dim to match the ppfds. you’d save electricity, diodes will run cooler and more efficient and they would last longer etc etc if you suspect they’re saturated by light how does giving them more light fit into your masterplan? maybe you should dim it and switch to 24/0 and match the dli. how about that? i dont think a co2 bag will kill them in the dark period but use the dli you like as a baseline, match ppfd and give 24hrs if you like. that way they’ll use all the co2. more efficent. that means if your middle is at 1000umol/m2/s and the corners are 750umol at 20/4 schedule. go 830 in the mids and 625 at the edges and do 24/0. that will match your current dli without stressing them and you’ll be able get the best out of those bags.

You see the white box it's a co2 mesurue mill sensor. And if you lock up sf4000 spider farmer you will see almost all growers hanging at around 45cm to 70 cm most people are at 60cm. This will be my 4th rounds now. Beginning too now my light now

I have turned the fan to the wall and no fan blowing on the plants, old picture.the lights it's ca55 +-cm at the topp at all of them. All plants have over 750 par they are at ca 850 par 1050par at max in the center 800 par at the edges. The are almost too close. At the looks of the plant...

how are you measuring your co2 levels? why dont you lower those lights rather than extending lights on period. that way you can increase the dli while keeping your energy bills the same. they look like they are very far away from the plants. also you dont want fans directly blowing on your plants. cannabis doesnt like that all that much. fans should hit the walls of the tent to move air. a slight breeze is refreshing. constant wind dries out the leaves. you can switch to 24hrs on schedule but i dont see it making a huge impact on your yields, lowering the lights could probably work as good or most likely better in your case.
