its 1200 with a light meter tested by you?
They are about 24 inches away. So i had 1week when the ppm was after 3 water changes they started to eat so it was kind of stress i guess. I never did with hps
Oh i absolutely agree with u , side are about 34 inches away and not getting enough light but tallest one is 18 inches away. I dont know why i went with gavita there are other good choises its just gavita have uniformity that hlg dont have but i will upgrade to roi someday the new one is beast. I am trying to keep temp 80+ to get leaf temp closer to hps but its still not same.View attachment 4663599
To my eyes, the areas with red, looks like they getting much less light that the top area.
At your other photo, that shows inside the 'screen area', looks good/as expected/on par with other good LED grows that i seen.
But compared to HPS to my eyes its lacking behind alot. For example you can see no real big colas forming , just smaller stretchier ones, that won't ''fill up'' to create a big one.
Bottom line again, i believe the lights can't handle these big plants.
What are your thoughts? Too bad you can't compare it with ''older'' hps grows...
Personally im a bit disappointed with my HLGs compared to my hps,
I also think , (we both) made a bit mistake here, on growing style with the LEDs, definitely have some room for improvement -at least my grows- that was like that, big plants and SCROGed tight, the lights couldn't handle it, low penetration also compared to hps.

I was thinkng about that too. Extra light might help
think that the sides the TOPs are lets say 34 inch away, imagine the lower bud after TOP how much more far and how much light it gets
i wouldn't over do it at week 6-7, what is done is done, i mean the plants looks just too big.
