Im running a 1000w hps dimmable. Sun system. I was running 700 actual watts from 1 mars 192 reflector and 2 300w mars units. Diods started going out and i know there cheap and not very good i god decent buds just airy af. Got a deal on this hps so switchedIdk.but maybe all the extra heat the hps gives off.. question...why would you go to hps/cmh,not sure what you are running..
Im getting waay better results like 70% more root growth..bigger fatter stalks. They streched a bit thoIdk.but maybe all the extra heat the hps gives off.. question...why would you go to hps/cmh,not sure what you are running..

Yes i did have venting issues about 2 weeks ago i had my fan pulling the air out from the bottom...i know bad move...it pulled all the heat down but didnt knotice any damage just a lil drooping. And my light was a bit close its all the way up now with a 12 inch gapThe first thing that jumps out at me is the "taco" look a lot of leaves are getting. Like Nugg said, I suspect there's a good bit of difference in heat output with your current lighting, and the plants don't seem to like it. I had a lot of that when I was earlier into one of my current grows; had to back my CMH off a bit and improve airflow to remedy.
My experience is pretty limited with HID lighting, but is 12" really enough for a 1000w HPS? I keep my 315w CMH 20"-ish up.its all the way up now with a 12 inch gap
See thats what im wondering am i frying them if so are the colas savableMy experience is pretty limited with HID lighting, but is 12" really enough for a 1000w HPS? I keep my 315w CMH 20"-ish up.

I'm sure more experienced people will chime in, but IMO, you may be frying them. I have a feeling you're gonna end up wanting to seriously back off the lighting and/or dial down the wattage. They don't look terrible to me, so hopefully you haven't done permanent damage.See thats what im wondering am i frying them if so are the colas savable
Yeah theres no discoloration just leafy and not as full as the other topsI'm sure more experienced people will chime in, but IMO, you may be frying them.

Ok that make sense... Ill have to tie down to achieve thatI keep my se non air cooled 600s about 16 inches away & I still burn the tips if I don't keep up on them. With a 1k not dimmed you want almost 20-24 inches away. Use the forearm test, put your arm out forearm up level with your tops under the light. Is it almost uncomfortable hot or just warm? Warm is the goal.

You may want to look into "supercropping."I have 7 foot ceilings and im all the way up.
Is that pinching?You may want to look into "supercropping."
From my understanding, that's a part of it. Pinch the stalk with increasing pressure until you've weakened it just enough to lay it over and tie it into place. I've never done it, but have seen it recommended to others who are running out of vertical space.Is that pinching?
