BudXsstarted grow question 4 years ago

Which of the two options do you choose and why: Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft. The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setup

More lumens will give you bigger, better, tastier, nicer looking buds. More plants will give you more bud(perhaps) but the quality will not be as good, always go for extra light, you will need it in flowering too!, 😁🌱👍

If you look at the PAR map for those grow lights you will notice that the PPFD drops drastically out on the edges so by stretching them even further you are reducing the light intensity across the grow area even further and your yield will suffer.

Reveg/Budding issue What is my plant doing? the days are almost 15 hours long so I don't understand why it's budding still, I expected it to reveg by now but no sign of rounded single leaves still. The days are getting longer not shorter, end of next month is when the days start getting shorter.

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.
