I had the lights 2’ at 100% for a few days in veg till they got to about 18” from canopy then flipped, only had to move it once thru 19 day of flowering. No signs of stress or bleaching. I am pumping co2 starting at 1k since in veg and bumped up to 1200 3rd day of flower now I’m at 1400 and will top it out at 1500 after stretch.In that pic I’m 2.5’ over the plants with the lights at 75% getting 500 umoles at the plants. I’ll turn them up a little each week, looking to end with them around 900-950 umoles. I have a photontek 600 that’s new as well in my veg/mom/clone room and learned quickly that these lights are crazy powerful compared to 3+ years ago. I had cal/mag issues pretty quick and they weren’t too happy with me. I’m vegging a 7x7 area from 6’ getting 350 umoles on moms that are about 18” tall and about 200 umoles on solo cups that are sitting on the floor.
Interesting, so the co2 seemed to help out a lot.

Yea man, get them closer if your using co2 with high temps, if u look at my pic my temps and humidity is up there. As of right now in day 19 the lights are at 16” or lower from canopy and I intend to leave it there until some stress or deficiencies pops it head outInteresting, so the co2 seemed to help out a lot.

Right now. I’ll have to check par at 2’ tomorrow at 100% to see what u were giving them. Maybe bump mine up sooner than later!
You said higher temps, what are u running? I was gonna set for 85 myself.View attachment 4767075View attachment 4767076
So I lied... I’m 9” from the tallest cola and 14” from canopy in that space that the geekbeast is covering, no stress at 100% and it’s been at this level since week 2
I meant to ask if u got the 3k or 3.5? I got the 3.5Alrite day 21 flower, bottoms are thinned out, some foliage as well and 2nd trellis on.
What I can tell so far is coverage is excellent for 4x4. Penetration is decent, but cmh wins it’s so far as there’s more big developed buds on the lower sites. Bud development is maybe a hair slower than cmh? You guys be the judge of that..
Heat wise, this thing is warm at best. My room is 3 degrees cooler and my portable a/c hasn’t been kicking on 24/7 when lights are on, trips me out when I don’t hear it running, can’t wait to have another one in the setup!
On cruise control now, so another update will be when they finish in 40 days or so...

I was gonna let them grow into it but I’m thinking of lowering the lights a bit today since you had good results hitting them harder sooner. Probably start them closer next round.3500k is what got to match the cmh 3500k flowering bulbs, you bout beast out in room. U plan to let plants grow into the targeted ppfd? Or slowly lower it daily?
Thanks. I spent about a month building it between work and telling my wife I need more money!goddamn bro that is a lovely setup your runnin!
