Yeah bro that's way to much light IMO. Just the 2 led is enough.

Okay, you think the two led should do the job. Maybe I can just run them for my first I didn’t know if the hps/ led would make a better combo so I threw it in.

You can run all 3 bit going to need a lot more height or be able to turn them down.

Imo I would run either or... Maybe HPS and one led bit being so height limited I would go with the 2 led because they can be closer to the plants without issue. If you run the led at about 24" and slowly creap up you probably can creap up to 18" over a few weeks.

My plants right now. It is 24 inches to top of canopy. I just went down and measured that I have room to get 38-40 inches between all lights and the canopy. I would just like a bit of a game plan right now anything helps.

Yo I promise that was the last question for tonight

If ya think I still need to remove an hps or led I will. I just wanted to let you know what I’m working with

 

[Aqua Man]

Imo go with the 2 led at 24" that gives ya exactly 30w per sq ft and should be perfect.

 

[Aqua Man]

And no worries man ask away. I will give ya the best advice I can... I'm not always right but I try

Ph seems to be stable- ish. Over the past 3 days it’s looked like this:
July 2 - when my ph and ppm had gone way down ph was 5.1 and ppm 913, I ph upped to around 5.7
July 3 ph - 5.55 ppm - 766
July 4 ph - 5.6 ppm - 713
Did a res change on July 1st and the ph seemed to drop drastically over night to 5.1. But since then ppm been dropping and ph stable now.

 

[Marshdoggy]

July 2 ppm-913 ph - 5.74
July 3 ppm - 766 ph 5.55
July 4 ppm- 714 ph 5.6
July5 ppm 577 ph 5.6
I’m thinking around 650 ppm for my next res change? What do you guys think based on these recordings? I’ve read that if ppm is dropping I should increase nutes but up to what point is that healthy. Ph seems to have stabilized

 

[Aqua Man]

I think 600 should be good. Ppm changing daily is not an issue. How much are they drinking a day now?

When you add water back instead of just water add nutrients to it now that it's drinking and eating more. They are getting to the size that you probably will have to top up daily. This is where DWC gets to be a lot of work and RDWC is much easier. Water change frequency is going to start going up. Write down the add backs and once you add back 3.5 gal do a res change. By the end of this you likely to be doing water changes every 3 days.
