That purple kush is a tree man nice work. I’m trying to find the right height for my lights and the right intensity. So they are both 18 inches from most of the canopy other than a few that got tall on me. My DLI is at 65-70 and par is at about 1200 in the center and 800 on the very edge. All my readings are from a phone app tho so probably not super accurate. But I’m concerned with the tall buds getting 1600 par, they may have to be the sacrificial lamb so to speak. All my leaves are praying up to the light so that’s a good thingUnless I'm just blind or can't read strain you have in the screen? Looks possibly like an Indica hybrid but I could be wrong it's for sure? But looks like you only got about 4 weeks left to go? Trichome development looks great:-) out of curiosity though are the lights normally that high or you only have them up to take pictures and work in the area?.... strange I could not upload the video but here's a picture of Purple Kush that I just harvested anyway and along with a little conversion chart I made from her as well....View attachment 1225906

You made a rhyme, give me a dime!I like the frame a lot, just used 2x2s and lots of screws.
Yes I may end up doing that with the tall branches. T5s definitely lack in penetration, although I only need maybe 12 inches of penetration because of the scrog.Mighty 5 fluorescence only reach 2 ft into the canopy and that's the only usable light they will get from T5 fluorescent high output! If you're concerned about your Hue tops in her going to call which I was also looking at maybe you should wire them down as I do so the other ones can catch up... if you noticed in the last video I sent I don't know. Northern Lights number 5 x Haze I'm having a few that are stretching Beyond safety point for the rest of the tops or buds! So I will be wearing them down as the rest of my branches of been wired I use a baling wire that you would normally tie rebar with it works great and very versatile I designed my own type of program with it but it works great for lights that don't produce the amount of light I want them to! I thought about entering that room cushion to the picture of the month but when I see other peoples pictures I realized I don't think I have a chance.! But that's what T5 fluorescents will get you I think I have seen your lighting system somewhere but I can't remember the name of it it's a very nice system but it wasn't cheap and was I thought and I couldn't see it's canopy penetration you notice I also put some side lights on to help with my low-level penetration they have produced considerable amounts of my lower section which makes it a lot better anything too small I put it what I called a hash Bowl and create some excellent hash with trichomes I remove.
Now after saying that still not finding any written material on penetration? So if I go by the pictures I'm looking at and I'm going to get those quality Bud's from that distance shown in the pictures then like WOW,WOW,WOW please send mr. Holmes over to take care of my flock of women because actual height lights from plant has no bearing on penetration and my young ladies will be the happiest woman in town come on down mr. Holmes the doors wide open and my ladies can't wait to meet you. Not sure what they would do to my electric bill not sure how much cheaper or cooler the lights would be over my T5 high output fluorescent 5000 lumens per View attachment 1227599 tube? I did attempt to switch over to supposably compatible LED tube lights made for these fixtures but after I put it in like three of them they started to heat up considerably even to the point where one of them actually melting don't think that would be a very wise choice lights come on in the morning you go somewhere maybe to the store or possibly go see somebody you know whatever the case but then when you come home to find your what's left of your house surrounded by fire engines and the fire marshal coming over to pay you a visit with a lot of paperwork to sign that didn't sit right in my mind so I opted out of all the lights back they had a one year warranty on them which is good because every time I put in more than three LED tube lights four lights would then burn out and it fried the ballast in one of my fixtures completely and I had to replace the ballast. Also the watts/ per bulb was burning less W than my fluorescent tubes so why they were overheating I just don't know couldn't take the chance so you come all back except for the few that are in my bud room which give off UV light but there's only two in each fixture I saw no reason and replacing them because they are not overheating and I wanted the presence of the ultraviolet. So I don't know what time you thinking is but it may go by the picture and it's true there's no worry of penetration that's for sure but for some reason it doesn't seem feasible
You should try indicaThat distance between the plants and the lights in those pictures that I'm looking at doesn't seem possible or is it possible ? Could it be possible ? might be possible but I doubt it ! I just don't know if it's possible those possibilities elude me!?!?
If you use a light meter it really takes a lot of the guessing out of it. Now they can be pricey so I just use a free app on my phone, may not be exact but gives me numbers to work with. I do believe the board style has more penetration but I have no proof to back this up. I have never tried the t5s but they seem really good for seedlings and into veg.That distance between the plants and the lights in those pictures that I'm looking at doesn't seem possible or is it possible ?

Indica hmmm most of what I usually cultivate is partially indigent recently I just threw a purple kush plant oh, I believe that what is 100% indica but I'm not a hundred percent sure? maybe you can tell take a look-see I was going to enter this picture in a photo of the month contest boat I asked her right and it was a pretty Explorer it should be nominated but never got an answer I don't know if I put it in the photo of month contest area ? But and since I've been tossed out of it once already I didn't want to take a chance so I asked first unless I just didn't see it I never received an answer but anyway here it is right before Harvest~~> I'm not sure what's happening with my videos right now because I can't seem to upload any I tried to send a video of this when as well but it won't uploadYou should try indica
