I have recently built this 3 bar with 8x cxb3590s! Can any of you experienced chaps tell me what distance I should hang above canopy?
Cxb3590 Distance advice?

I just built a similar panel 12 cxb3590
I have had mine installed for four days at
36" above fully veged plants and they seem happy. With a screen you may want to go at 30" and see how the tops react. If they wilt just raise it up. Keep a close eye on them if you are able. Good luck

That is the cleanest setup I've ever seen..where the hell did you get the scrog screen?? Great job!
Love your build. Mind sharing the details on it?
Also, you can probably get a lux meter for about twenty bucks and use some tables with warm white color temperature to convert to PAR roughly. You probably want to have about 800 PPFD ideally spread out uniformly at the canopy. Those reflectors may be counterproductive in terms of coverage. Anything beyond 1500 is wasted energy. And 1000 should be more than enough.

Thanks! The screen was purchased as an addon for the Budbox Grow tents!
