<span class="link_user">@boew777</span>, This being my first autoflower grow I really don’t know what to expect yield wise. They look branchy for sure. With all the training the smalkercplsnt has nine nice tops growing and the biggest has 16. I’m hoping to get a decebtbyeild overall off the five, since that’s all I’m allowed by law.

<span class="link_user">@HolySmoke</span>, 20” is a good rule of thumb, but this has an 8” cool tube in the hood with anywhere from 300-700cfm of air cooking through it. You can actually hold your hand 5” under the light as long as you want, it won’t get uncomfortable.

<span class="link_user">@HolySmoke</span>, I just noticed there’s a typo on the lamp distance. It’s 18”.

<span class="link_user">@Asegrower</span>, yes, I read that in your diary. You also said it has a dimmable ballast, correct? What setting do you have it on? At this point in time the lower the better. I&#039;ve got a 600w and am running it on 250w for the first few weeks. At that distance and on 1000w it may contribute to some of the issues, but that&#039;s why I ask.

<span class="link_user">@HolySmoke</span>, it’s not dimmable. The leaf cupping was caused by the overwatering. I gave them a full 4 days until they were very dry and watered them last night. They look great. Leaf temperature 18” under my lamp is 76-77° at the hottest, usually below 75.

<span class="link_user">@HolySmoke</span>, I’m currently using a Plantmax 1000w HPS bulb with a Sun Systems Magnetic ballast.

<span class="link_user">@Fast_Buds</span>, Thanks! I’m looking forward to this grow. It’s my first autoflower grow. Week two started today so updates are coming.
