what makes me happy is knowing the plants are getting maximum light an being all they can be. and great yields of rock solid buds... that too makes me happy .60 to 75 does this without overkill. my test tent runs at the max of 75. everything else is a bit less. back in the og days i had one parabolic setup that was 25 per and i did ok.i miss that strain.optimum is what makes you feel good..
if that's a windowsill , or a 1000, or 2 small floros....
having fun is all that matters, and you'll know what wattage you should use, when you ask yourself honestly, what will make you happy
Even tho you may have a 5 x 5 scrog in middle of a 20 x 20 roomSo here is what stumps me. If you have a 5x5 scrog or sog under a 1000 watter in the middle of a 20x20 room, do you have 40psf or do you have 2.5psf?
You have 40wpsqft... approximately. With reflective surfaces on each side you would get a higher yield... but essentially you're at 40wpsqft. Just fine for more indica dominant strains.So here is what stumps me. If you have a 5x5 scrog or sog under a 1000 watter
i take it your running 600's ?????? 2 to 3 feet apart should work good if there on each side if there in a row then 1 - 2 foot apart is what i would do i run my 1000's 3 feet apart in a row with reflectors reflecting at each other so 1000's are shining on other plants that are under a 1000 and so on more or less over lapping each otherThis might not be the best place to ask, but Im wondering how to place my lights with so many of them over the plants. Im coming from growing in a tent and the lights had to be close. This grow Ive doubled my wattage(2400 now) and I think my lights are too close. I have them the same distance apart in a straight line, but I have two rows now. I think the reflectors on the two rows are only about 1ft-1.5 ft apart. They are hanging from my raptors and the next spot I can put them at would be 2 ft farther away.
Im getting light bleeching on my top buds if I have them any closer than 18" from the top of the cola. Should I be back about 2ft with so many lights? My canopy isnt very deep, but at 2ft I feel like Im not getting my 600's down in there very far, but even those buds have lightly bleached tops. Any suggestions?
if a light explodes and nobody is around does it still make a pop?So here is what stumps me. If you have a 5x5 scrog or sog under a 1000 watter in the middle of a 20x20 room, do you have 40psf or do you have 2.5psf?
I just measured. There is 2ft between the edge of each reflector. If I were to put one line on the next beam over that would be 4ft between the lines.
My leaf isnt bleached, just the the tips of my colas. Is this a problem?
EDIT: I just found a simple solution. I took 2 bungee cords and managed to pull the lights to just under 3ft apart between lines. Im still at 2ft between reflectors in line though.
