Actually they perked up after the feeding I gave them on September 29th. The lights weren't dimmed until October 5th. And then I super cropped and raised the lights back up. Download a lux meter on your phone and google the lux range for cannabis in the various stages of growth.Ive been seeing signs my lights too much, havent had a dimmer as i need to grab one but after seeing your droopiness and then they perk up after dimming, im grabbing the dam dimmer. My brain said it was possibly light, all suggestions said not to dim and not to fw the lights intensity, tis poppycock. Some phenos are finicky and if a little less light is how she likes it then im gonna dim this bright mferi dont like extra light much either.
Nice kingbrite fixture I rock a 240 watt one. It looks like you let em grow all natural? Also I notice your are using the fixture dimmed down extremely low is this an experiment or have you always ran it this low? Does it penetrate the canopy pretty good? I try to get atleast 12 inches of solid colas. I got my 240 dimmed to 80% at about 14-15 inches. I’m very curious about growers who use there lights dimmed but usually it’s like 60% not 35% I feel since cannabis likes a lot of light only the tops will become super dense no?

Interesting... I'm a new grower. My plants looked light damaged and when I measured the lux it was at 140k so I dimmed the lights until the lux was at around 80k at most. But you're right my bottom buds are not growing big enough to merge with the tops (if that makes sense). Do measure your lux output? Are you able to crank it that high without getting any leaf discoloration or tacoing? Also what size tent are you in.Nice kingbrite fixture I rock a 240 watt one.

We’re they for sure light damaged or the mix reading scared you? Sometimes it’s best to read the plant as various strains can take different amounts. I’ve been using the unit-t lux meter suggested by migro that I then convert to par using the lux reading multiplied by .017 but I’m able to crank my 240 watt to full power at around 14 inches max. This is strain dependent as well. I’m currently growing in a custom built 2x8 closet. Using white reflective plastic on the walls. Here’s a picture of my white widow and sunset sherbert under the 240 at 85% I bumped it up. What strains are you running? Do you have good air flow? It’s not a heat issue right?Interesting...

Well if they are that close then I see why you have it dimmed. Try out some training next run that’s honestly one of my favorite things to do with them.Interesting... They looked light damaged to me. My plants are around 5 to 7 inches from the light too.
When you take a lux reading at the top of your canopy whats the reading?We’re they for sure light damaged or the mix reading scared you?
