(GF x Chem) x OPG - RGS Tester

Oh I forgot, we're up and running. This one smells a little more on the chem side. I've got maybe six testers on the closest bench.

Niiice, how many sq ft flower in that spot? Little O/T question, but how come the commercial facilities all use such extreme light distances? Every one I see has like 15' ceilings and lights mounted off of the ceiling. Seems so inefficient.

Wow nice set up looks real nice mate , keep us posted how you get on with these ..

This room is 4400 s ft. The lights are at twelve feet from the ground. The benches are twenty two inches off the ground. The plants come in at 20"tall. We are in week two when this picture was taken. They are four feet tall now. At two more weeks of stretch they will be just under 6'. All told we will have a gap of about four or five feet. At this number of lights and their current spacing, we will be experiencing roughly 800-900 in par- perfect for flower. When you combine 200+ lights, your density requires more height, otherwise I would be hammering the plants with more than twelve hundred par and a much higher temperature at canopy. It would also mean we would have to lower our fans, which is a bummer when you bonk your head.
