Help needed on height of new led omega photon plus 720w

[Chazza69]

Mate its sound just put in my 720w omega photon plus its sitting 1340mm from floor im doing 5 autos and 5 photos so im pretty screwer in height as pot heights are 230mm tall so i dont know what to do im nearly 5 weeks from seed on all of them. I have a 2m tall tent but carbon filter is nearly sitting down 300mm so im prob screwed with th photos. U any advice of keeping them shorter im thinking of topping photos now and hopefully they stay small as autos usually only do 120cm the lights amazing but the hardest experiance of trying to put up my self so im keeping it there as its more or less 1100x1100 in a 1.2x1.2x2m tent so i will just have to run it at 50% 5 weeks in then go 75 or 100% in flower as its far too hard to alter height of light. It never flicked switch running at 100% with small fan and air ram filter exhaust with carbon filter . Can u give me any advice. Please i will never do photos again due to space or height its autos all the way ive 30 seeds the now so im cooking with gas lol

You can always run the the filter on the outside of the tent. If the plants are to far away from he light you can raise the pots up, with blocks and racks and what not. Topping photos is the best way to get yourself more herb! : ) yeah id top all the photos and start training them also. I’ll bet it works out better than your thinking now! : ) got any pictures?

What do mean by training, pruning leaves? How can i put the filter outside tent as im running vent pipe out window. You will see from photos what im dealing with temp was hitting 29degrees so ive switched light to 25% from 50% i have small fan blowing but im wondering why some are slightly yellowing i just fed water/feed to the top of pots till it started coming out in saucers the photos are on left and the 5 on the right are autos. So thats me running light 1100mm above at 25% so that be 160w i think i should go back to 50. 360w as thats not bad for now and increase to 75 or 100% in flower time mind these are only 5 week old in 2days from seed. Whats ur thoughts my friend. Im jeff 45 from glasgow scotland. The light cant go any higher just now as the ratchets i had to link to others as crossbars are too thick for the hook things im trying my best

you ran out of vertical space with these babies in a 2m tall tent?

What do mean by training

Bending and folding branches over to control direction and height of them.

Now that that is mentioned you dont (unless you can without it giving yourself away)

nah man i dont grow autos, I’ve thought about throwing a couple outside this summer just to see what’s up with them, and to get some early outdoor to smoke on before the photos are done doing their thing.

hey dude youre doing good! keep trying (not too hard) and things will happen! : )

think i should go back to 50.

id leave it on the lower settings for now. Dial in your feedings/waterings and see if the color improves. The lights can just make other problems seem worse. And when you do mess with the light, give it a few days afterwords, unless you see adverse effects earlier on then turn it back down.

Definitely top the photos! : )

If i can avoid it ill keep my pots up on a rack so air gets under the pots (im in fabric 2gal)

I would suggest doing some reading on the questions.....before posting more questions and more threads.
Fairly certain you could loop the light ratchets around the bar and attach it to itself.

@Chazza69 - I recommend you get an environment controller for your tent. I tried doing without one when I began tent growing and gave up. I was surprised to discover how the weather can affect the inside of the tent. Plants affect their environment, as well.

No ive only a.3m to light from ground so add 230mm for soil height then plant heights

All I see in pics are plants.....nothing above or full shot of tent. I have tried.....many times
Wish you the best in your adventure

Sorry i forgot to send those i was done in after trying to put that light up myself. Should i be worried about slight pale ness on leaves in some plants maybe a touch of brown specs aswell on a few? This new ligjt i started putting up at 9 at night, ive fractured my spine so it was murder thats the furthest i could get it up with the ratchets included just aswell i had others so i could put them right up as no hanking brackets fit my poles in frame which is a pain i dont know how i can get it any higher and as i said im maybe 1340 from floor to underside of light and growing in 250mm pots and 230mm i think i can make it work with autos but the 5 photos i dont think so i spoke to someone about topping the photos as i know u shouldnt top autos and it wasnt through choice as i had ten seeds fail 3 diff germination attempts so i had to start them at same time. Is 5 weeks still okay to top photos will that save them. I would never buy a light that size again but its got really good reviews today i check par or ppfd what am i looking for then i can adjust power on light its at 25% just now as i had it at 50 and a fellow friend said thats to hot as it was nearing 29 degrees but at 25% its 22 degrees where another guy said its to cold u want 25.to 28 degrees my heads mashed and i was going to buy another full setup but im starting to wither myself lol sorry ive babbled on up too early oh my tents 1.2mx1.2x2m high
