Is putting the plant as close to the light as possible best?

[bird mcbride]

you hang lights with a huge big crane...how does that fit inside a room????...so they can work at night??...mine arent on cranes and have them on at night. the pouint isnt to get the whole room lit up..its to focus on a good strong lumsnh foot print and that far away isnt a good one...its a wider one.

My bonnet is no longer on a crane Medi1. I took it off a crane some years ago and now I keep it mounted in my budding room. My bonnet is cast aluminum with shatter proof glass. My light is focused directly on my entire grow which is a 6 foot by 6 foot skirted off with black and white reflective plastic area in an eight foot square room.

im still curious how it fit inside a home. shatter rpoff...no glass is shater proof..maybe resiatnt not proof...that means cant break. most hoods have the same type glass anyways with temprtered glass or the heat would blow the glass.
you have a 6 foot sq room and rows of 5 it says before...5 what plant or light? cant see 5 lights in a 6x6. do you have any journals or pics..never seen any yet....or pics of this crane in the house...

People use streetlight bonnets, do you see them taking home the pole it came from. Aren't you the guy that thinks it's best to seal off all the holes and use a big blower to suck all the air out of your growroom. Not only do they require proper lighting they require proper air to breath also.

whos talkin about venting???...and no im not the guy. you even look at my rooims i have here. lots off in and out air. yes we do need the right lighting and street lights arent it.....still waiting to see all these pics. you just seem to follow me around and post this stuff but no pics for us to see.

whats a street light pole have to do with you sayin you hung a light by a crane in a house.....love to see this...you did say you hung it by a crane did you not.....but now its not.

When I first got on here nobody believed cloning could be done with a humidity dome. There are even threads that have been started that claim it can't be done. I've since been proven to be correct since then. Lava rock is fifty cents a pound, stop your grippin' and prove me wrong.

hu...now youir onto a diff subject again...ya like i said nothing to back your claims. and nothing worng with plain ol domes. is all i use for now...lava rock????what???

You want to put light as close as possible without burning the plant. You also have to take your grow ops foot print into consideration. Placing a light too close limits the amount of light your plants on the outer edges will be able to get.

there ya go. someone else gets it...its called invedrse sqaure law. theres my scicne to the lighting disrtance

ya i figured you grew in lava rock but has nothing to do with thsi thread.

i love Humidty domes , That and rapid rooters with dutch master's replicator , well i just did my first cuttings and i got 100 % success . You can tell the cuttings love the humidity , and the propagation dome that i got from the hydro store fits tightly and has vents so you can get them air whenever you like . As for the original post , i run my air cooled 600 with the fan right at the end of the reflector , the thing sucks air major ! i got my top canopy at about 6 inches and the girls seem to do just fine , i did the mistake of letting my og get to the glass and she did not like !!! so yea Thats about as close as im going now . it really does make a difference . The 600 will only reach down to a certain point and the more you utilize your spectrum the better .

I am a first timer with about 2 years of literature pushing me to week 6 of my first real flowering phase .

nothing wrong with cheepo domes as said. i have mine on top iof the flouro tubes and get rooted in about 5 days. way cheeper then a cloner at 300 plus bucks and same good results. and they dont get light till rooted

eactly...you say you go 4 foot away but here is a few inches but yet you agree with him and diss agre with mine...your funny

Don't worry pal, I like you for this one.

oh realy...i work in the horti field and we wont carry them. so to you its the best not others. of course it covers a wide erea...its not directing it down like we want cause the hood is small so light goes all over.
you could tell straight away ....lol...funny dood....so out of curiousity whats one of them cost. and by the way. i woprk also for researchers to prove or dissprove these kinda of theories.
if its so hot an item why isnt it all over the market then. i dont see any of them over here for sale in any shops

I can't continue in good faith to have this conversation with you, the fact that you had to google a dutch poot yet you work in the horti industry, more like the hobby side of things.

 

[Medi 1]

why cause we dont use them terms in north america. ok...perfect then. cause we dont know uk terms we know shit over here....good one.
its not in the horti field is more the reason why....

I run 25 clones in my system all the time. I have people begging for that chunk of cheese and down the street they can get a whole oz of bud for $175, and they know it.

Is your shoulder ok? Just wondering if you hurt it patting yourself on the back or not. lol

dam....thought it was a pic of this crane holding up a light inside.
