I'm thinking of going back too my old hoods...yield master classic 2 4inch. I used those for years with the best success. Only this year I switched to adjusta wings and have had nothing but problems

You can see the burnt leaves all yellow look like and feel like leather. Under the bulb was pretty lush green sides were toasty. Then i did an expierment and tightened the hoods and fried the middles too. I thought it was a deficiency at first but after going back to trees it's the hoods. This run was a complete loss! :(

You can see the middle row is lime green and cooked like bacon. Also the last row too the left in super soil. Just not as bad as the middle row. Wings are wide open now still on 750watt mode. Bulb dropped all the way down

The fact of the matter is that a-wings distribute light widely, but not necessarily evenly. Hence, my suggestion to turn every other fixture 90 degrees.

Run your hand under the a wing.....and you can easily tell how uneven the light distribution is on those things. I rocked em for a couple of years....and I like them as far as reflectors go. HUGE foot print.

I thought the manufacturers suggested layout was a joke.....then I tried it.



I usually kept mine about 3' over the plants as well...any closer and I had light bleach as well as foxtails.

Did you take a look at the layout from the website? I forgot to mention that when I finally decided to go with "THEIR" layout.....I hit my biggest harvest to date.

IMHO.....5 ton is a tad to small for 16k. Also if you look at how jack is setup...he runs his lights a bit different than yours are setup. He runs em way high and lets the high spots cross over.....this is HIS PIC....NOT MINE

Adjusta wing wants you to run a light in a 7x7 that's terrible watts per sq ft. Yeah my tables had light bars. Which did not allow me to turn them sideways. i should of just mounted them to the ceiling. My hoods were maxed out to the ceiling. I spent a lot of time studying his rooms. His hoods are very high they have to be now that I have worked with these hoods.

A 5 ton will do 15 lighs. Jack runs 15k per 5 ton as well. 16k will keep the room in the 79-80F but the AC gets beat to hell. Never gets a break when the lights turn on. Runs for 20 mins straight then takes a 2-3 min break before it has to cool again. 15k runs more smoothly.

If you do each adjusta wing in a 7x7 space like they recommend you get 20.4 watts per sq ft. Jacks are stacked on top of each and the hoods are at the 3rd notch. I don't get how he's not having problems. They look about 3-1/2 feet above the tops. Maybe cause there sideways and not right on top of each other length wise.

I believe this is Dutchtouchs room... He has a checker board type pattern...he's also got them facing in on each other. Both him in jack seem to being using ushio bulbs. His hoods are also not back to back looks about 2 feet in between. I think checker board is the best case scenario on my room since it resembles dutchtouch.
His hoods are way up...it's gotta be because mine are back to back. Cause I got the same distance in between. Looks like he's following a 5x5 pattern
