Ahhhhhh nice do they grow faster then living soil. What I used I kinda like the set up is it gonna b a sealed room

faster is an understatement, honestly. unfortunately can't do sealed as i don't have the space for such a setup, but one day i intend on building a sealed room.

if those LEDs were below that fan, it would fuck up the footprint something fierce. moving the fan on the right would likely be ideal, at least in the interim.

Essentially what is happening is the HPS are giving off a lot more light than the MH did, so at the moment I have an imbalance on the footprint lux readings. The one I really want to drop is the SE5000 as it can go quite a bit lower without burning the plants or shading the light coming from the HPS side. The SF4000 I'll keep a bit higher, and I might be able to just move the fan over beneath it. But I expect it is not going to perform as well as the SE5000 or the hps, based on what im seeing so far.

another couple grand and adding two HPS light will make that room really slick. perfect reading through out the room, by far the best growing method and you've got it all setup perfectly. Light and CO2 my friend. Santas wish list

Dosen't need co2 imo
needs more headroom

Really? I've never had an issue with not having enough ceiling height to play with, I can still raise all my lamps nearly a full 2 feet higher if needed. But I do prefer to grow shrubs vs trees.

The led's are on the low side and it didn't look like you had that much on that side.

That is the low side for sure. They've gone up about 2 or 3" since I took this pic but there is still plenty of room to raise them. If anything I still want the plants to get a bit closer to them.

@Dirtbag how do you keep them from stretching so high ? just keep LST the branches ?

scrooge net helps to widen out the branch, sometimes you have to supercrop it

 

[GrowHobo]

Scrooge net lol, I like it, the things are always such jerks.

 

[Shayne010944]

can you supercrop when flowering starts ? or best to do in veg

 

[tobh]

whenever. Roll the stem between your fingers, bend her over. I've supercropped as late as six weeks. It causes the plant minimal stress and can save some headroom when needed..
