GAVITA PRO 600/750e

Well that video IS promoting the Spyder LEDs.

The point is, when MJ is ripening, (the stage the plants in the video are at) pro growers tend to raise HPS lights to reduce heat, . . . . .so the point of the LED promoting video is that the LEDs do NOT need raising to bring temps down for good ripening . . . you follow me bro???

I have never raised my lamps. Should I be doing that? Would that shorten ripening time??

Hey . . .

ime, raising the lights does not shorten the ripening period, it allows for slower ripening, rather than frantic processing. In the last week of my girls lives, they'll be in 10 hours of light with the lights right at the the top of my 2.2m tall tent, and they'll be running at 75% ish . . . . .

imho if lights are left at the "growth height", the optimal height for max PAR, during ripening, it all happens too quick and fox tailing can happen; and I believe I get a better, more mature, better tasting end product.

Bare minimum is roughly 3x4x6. That's 1' in height for the light itself, 2' distance to plants, 1' for pots, 2' for plants. That requires cropping or running short fast strains in a sog, and a proper exhaust in any case.

4x4 is more ideal for max yield of a 6/750, a few weeks boosting to 825w. 4x5 or 5x5 work fine too though, a good setup running a 6/750 on 825 can do better than a poor set up 1kw setup. If I were to build a closet/space from scratch I'd go for 4x4.5x7.5

8' height is plenty, so is 7'. (8' already allows for 4' plants excluding 1' pots).

How bout this:
