I've only made the one run with the Far Red lights, 1 puck fits a 3x3. under an SF 300w light. I was impressed enough to order 2 more to use in my 5x5. I want to put 3 of them in my 5x5 under 3 - SF300w lightsNot the far Reds as I know from them they are only on at dusk to put plants to sleep. you don't need the mounting brackets

Hi folks,
i run a mars FC4800 light
25% at seedling
50% at grow
75% at flower
12” from plant.
I wish i’d get a bit more stretch. Below pictures of last 2 grows.
Hi,Theres a window of time where they stretch and don't stretch. First couple of weeks in flower they go vertical. When you flip if the garden hasnt filled out somewhat to your liking then keep the lights low. They will stretch to find a better light source. If you are happy with how the net's filled out then I would recommend going heavy light from the first week on. also the height of your lights is kind of secondary to having a par meter and reading ppfd. Different lights kick off diff ppfd readings. Get a the meter to accurately see where each parts of the canopy are getting light. I just boughta new one on amazon $85
like all of growing everything you do has an effect on something else. so If you have your lights powerful right from flip and they are cleaned up properly then they will stack way nicer but wont have that vertical stretch you may want. If you let them stretch for the first weeks before you crank those lights up in say week 2 or 3 then you may have more isolated bud sites but they can still grow nice buds. If you want buds that stack nice get that light rippin right from the get go and prune the branches up to the first 4/5 bud sites. The real pro tip is having the par meter and making sure your canopy is as close to 1000 ppfd as you can get.Hi,
that par meter sounds like a good idea, but im a bit stretched as well.
Right now its a choice between buying the cannabis grow bible or the light meter.
you brought about an interesting subject thou.
how to handle flower stretch to get nice loong buds?
also when is it time to turn that light to 100% and get as close as you can to the buds?
thanks,
Mark
You sold me.
I suppose the par meter would tell you the correct amount of light for a stretch too.
how much should that be
Depending on size of plant and techniques... my veg process is between 2 to 3 monthsgood question JKash. I thought that was a standart?
How many of these do you use in your 5x5Not the far Reds as I know from them they are only on at dusk to put plants to sleep. you don't need the mounting brackets
