Budding plants within 3 inches of an hps light and the plants are cool with it.
Today is watering day so the droop is normal.

I've done that before now but always wonder about the lumen absorption distance

I'm waiting till I see the first signs of light bleaching and I'll raise the lights the last 4 inches. After I do that, I'll have maxed out the light height and it's gonna have to do what it do because I've done run out of room.

Keep checking for light bleaching when the lights go out or come on. Harder to tell under the HPS.

Brand new eye hortilux in an air cooled hood.

I have the same issue with my current plant, just out grew the space. It was fine for a while and didn't really show any bleaching but started fox tailing all over the place which I am thinking was light stress. To add to this issue I took holidays twice this summer and both times my son took over watering the plant. Somehow one of the hoses to my air cooled hood was knocked off, a different one on each vacation, and added a ton of heat stress to my girl driving temps up over 30. The first vacation she lost a ton of leaves, the second one it fried most of the leaves in upper canopy. I am guessing he didn't water as instructed either. This issue caused me to buy an HLG 600 Rspec to try to deal with the heat issues. That will teach me to take a vacation, lol. Keep a close eye and good luck. I hope it works out for you.

That's when you start super cropping...You should probably be doing it now before they get any further into flower.
3" is definately too close and you will have issues.

Why don’t you tie it down?

I don't have anymore room. This plant has been supercropped, LST'd and ScroG'd to the max and I ran out of room on all sides and I'm hitting the upper limit of height.
P.S. 90 days of veg turned out to be a horrible idea.

Low watt lights means extra veg time to achieve equal bud to high watt lights.

I might run into the same issue. Mine veg for almost 2 months, now I'm thinking I might have to pull em out and redo their living space once those buds start coming. I'm like you, no more space vertically or horizontally.

If I had of flipped at 60 days, I think I would have been good.

Bent down the tallest 3 and raised my open fixture lamp up the last 4 inches. Still have to figure out how to raise the hood fixture.
