I realize you can run them close,just saying the benefits of crosslighting in rooms with many fixtures might outweigh the benefit of having them close where you get no crosslighting at all?just a thought.

All light is different. But cross lighting is not an issue.

It was more directed towards Igrows rooms where someone said to lower his multiple lights,In a 1 or 2 lighter lowering might be correct but in a 4,6 or ten lighter its not always best.Maybe LED is different but i think its been proven with cmh and hps.

All light grows good crops. The question is: what is your situation, budget, and willingness to try something new?

When you run multiple lights like that its better to keep them higher,The crosslighting has more benefit than having them closer.

These lights are designed to be run that close

Or closer. Get a plant use to it and it can run as close as an inch or two but 4 - 6 inches is ideal. IMO

just looking at the spydrs they appear to use the same tech as quantum boards but they put them in bars instead of boards?Maybe even the same Samsung diodes?Dont know a lot about this new tech which is why I tagged six,i know hes working with the boards.

They use some of the same samsung chips that the Quantum Boards use. The spydrs also use chips for uv and broader spectrum I think. Spyders look like one of the better fixtures on the market.

Glad to see a thread about the spyders. Does anyone have some flower shots of them?

I am going to pick up dimmer ( stuck at Delivery office) today and will put up some photos of this light with dimmer on at different percentages in an empty room.

My SPYDR 600 has individual power to individual bars. Currently, I have the two outer bars disconnected= ~ 250w as the plant is not that wide, although I could also move them closer together= ~ 360w. Hmmmmm. I think I will

Here's a before shot, Check my thread to follow. The baggie was covering a bud I had pollinated

Wow! Indeed, 33% more light pushed closer together over her should make a big difference at this stage

Do you only have one plant? IMO you need more canopy. I guess I should assume you have at least a few more in there, but this is the prize plant?

The Spydr x plus works really well with 4 x 4 ft of canopy.

40 watts per bar isn't right either... The Spydr X is only 5 bars. The Plus version has 8 bars. I am still curious as the where that pic was sourced from???

Now I see the issue... BML is the old company name. Fluence is the new one. The BML 600 had 6 bars. I don't know the specs.

No.... I run a perpetual garden, I always have something flowering every 2 weeks so wasn't sure I could run co2 like that.

If you'e doing the plus you need co2. It' so much light the plant can't take it in unless co2 is high

Is it safe to run co2 in the last 2 weeks of flowering? I always heard it was and the way my garden is set up I always have something coming down every 2 weeks so not sure how I would run co2 without damaging the plants that are in there last 2 weeks of flower.
