No stay with these lights get as high as ya can and dim them to what ya need. They are more efficient at lower wattage anyhow and they have a good spectrum. Will serve ya much better but you need to think about height for flowering the plants will likely double in size once you flip to flower so your going to need to train them either lst or scrog will give you the most out of your space.

Low alkalinity will compound the issue making ph as I said less stable so the ph fluctuations are much greater. RO water by itself has next to no alkalinity

Free 2 cents. When you see the leafs ribbinging like that it means they are light stressed. If you are closer than 30 inches you need to move away.

Just keep good airflow ( like aqua suggested ) and your game and follow vpd if you can, if it’s lower cause if your region ( Generalize your allowance and make sure your in the ranges & you should be fine, google vpd if you don’t know what that is )

+
Once in flower ( tip)
Deleaf/defoliant is key (proper timing) : first day of flower : remove the bottom part of the plant “ google lollipoping plants ) or right before it, 2nd : 10-15th day of flower, 3rd deleaf : 21-25th day remove any fan leaf that is covering a bud site( just put your hand over your canopy and find those worthy energy leafs instead of removing all ( they are energy sources ), 4th is optional and that’s 4-6th week remove big leafs so your buds will get the source ( your not growing leafs ) deleaf all big fan leafs that cover and recheck the bottom for “ waste /pop corn” and remove it before it can waste anymore of your energy ( so many people let crap nodes take all the energy but even look at veggie farmers)

Nothing wrong with a small op especially when growing personal buds. If I was growing at my pad would do the same. I do commercial ops, based in CA

I agree but it's been so long for me that I don't remember well the issues that come with smaller grows from equipment etc. But the idea would be to look at the basics, temps, humidity high and lows. EC PH in and out. Get those factors out of the way then dive into light fixtures, medium, etc. Not having the equipment setup correctly can bring a whole lot of new issues and that's where I would not be useful. I would need to sharpen up my skills for the smaller stuff. rockwool, sealed rooms, DE fixtures, room designs, logistics of large ops that's where my expertise lies. So I figure you guys would do a better job than I can on these grows.

Yeah I see your point. Basics are usually covered in a big commercial grow

Big or small always remember the rudiments. Infecting the crop is a basic mistake. Everyone can make mistakes.

The thing with commercial grows its that its pretty easy when everything is dialed in. We don't see any of the issues that others are having here from rooms not being totally dialed in. If there is an issue in a commercial grow its due to equipment failure, grower error or a viroid lol

Ok I'm home and moved light up and moved up brightness and power is at half way up now. Here are some pics and what I get at each plant. And I feel like my plants look so sad like they go die on me.
