Yeah I am for sure not wanting to make the last mistake I made last time being to close and to hot. I want nice plants. I'll probably get a lil closer they at lowest setting now.

They just got put into the tent with these lights had my ph led light bulb on it till just now. But I also believe I need to go closer.They look a little high, like your plants are stretching
Yeah imma have to do that bro.I put my hand just above my plants and work the light up if it's to hot
Nice imma have to play with my lights tomorrow.View attachment 946501View attachment 946502
That's my 1 tent I dont have the other set up right now because I just moved
They can still get burned by the light, even if the heat is not present. The light intensity can still burn them. Younger plants should have more distance and then as they get older you can work it down. As long as you look for signs of light burn and adjust up when you see it you will be good.Yeah imma have to do that bro.
Yeah 10 4. I messed up my plants last time. Not being aware of those factors. But will definitely play with it tomorrow lmao that sounded bad ha ha ha ha.They can still get burned by the light, even if the heat is not present. The light intensity can still burn them.

Thanks broGo ahead Rolando! Hope all goes well this grow, want to see ya shine bro!
Yeah I have 2 of those just need to find a chart that will put me in the ball park of amount of light they need.Might be a good idea to get a lux meter app for your phone. Makes it easier to know how much light your plants are getting
Is there any where one can find a lux reading chart for flower or would you care to break it down like an average during flower? I know it will be strain/plant dependent, maybe your own personal experience though for a typical grow?Might be a good idea to get a lux meter app for your phone.

Thanks @BigCube heading there now. Sorry @Rolandomota didn't mean to jack ya threadSure. I have a thread around here with all that info in it. I'll dig it up.
It's always good to cross reference your numbers with a lux to u mol calculator. So you get estimated par numbers too.
It's all in here, 3rd post gives the numbers you want. But I suggest reading it all, of course cause I wrote it.
Understanding light.
Just a short disclaimer here, I am not an expert. I've done my own research, I will show my sources and I am willing to be corrected. I will try my hardest to keep my bias out of the equation as best I can. Light a small portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum...www.thcfarmer.com
Are you guys using led in flower as well ?
I've always used a big florescent light with t5 bulbs and hps during flower. My current is an adjustable 1000 watt ballast connected to a double ended bulb. As you can imagine it uses a lot of energy but my power bill only goes up about $140 when growing. I would love to save more money but I'm old school and back in the day led couldn't compete.
Any of you guys use both ? Any noticeable difference in density or all around quantity?
4x4 vivosun.Yeah, all led. The hardest buds I've ever grown came from my quantum board.
Gelato.
LEDs are a mine field though. Be sure to get the right ones. Dont just shop amazon for some burple monster thing
How big is your grow space?
4x4 vivosun.
The floro I use now is an eight bulb fixture, each bulb uses 55 watts 55k.
Double ended hps in an air cooled hood
2 clip fans
5 gallon bubble buckets/ top fed dwc
4 line air manifold

Thanks man appreciate that. Yeah I made the new post imma update all the info soon.Yes do a journal man this way you have a legacy to look back on and see what worked for what!!
But looking at you from the first post in oct 2019, and today, I’d say you have come far my brother!
You have more confidence and have your own style that you know what works for you. This is the key, you know best what works for you and having a journal to document all of this is success that one can reflect on and or lean on if something goes wrong!
Now teach! Give what you learned to the next new grower cause you just had your first go and you have the freshest feel for what it is to be lost and then to find your way around!!
Congrats and I’ll keeping looking your success and good vibes man!
