I have my 400 8" away from the tops of the plant.
You may even notice slight bleaching of the tops but don't worry about it.
I previously didn't recommend this distance because it is more risky as you have to keep a closer eye on them in case they have a growth spurt and get burned:blsmoke:[/quot


Thanks Nat!!!I must have caught you in the small window of time when your awake and Im awake!!! Im going to set my goal for 8' but start back at like 12 or so

then yeah, i'd go with 8-12 inches up... depending upon the air temp at canopy level at those heights...

Im going to go out a get another fan that will blow across the top of the canopy I have one underneath blowing up and through the canopy...

I am soooooo scared of heat...My grow has been so easy with no real problems and Im really dreading dealing with the heat and timers and schedules....thats probably the biggest reason my plant is like 3 months old:confused::confused:

the heats quite a headache... a small a/c (like the 5000btu kind for 100bucks) would probably do you worlds of good

The portable ac works good but its very loud and it still has a 4" hose you put in a window to blow out the hot air. Think window ac in the room with you they are loud. I had one in by bedroom in my old house but couldnt run it when I was trying to sleep it kept me up.

So the mutants have been going outside some and back in and last nite my roomie left them outside and they kicked their sex out the bushy huge one is a female fo sho and the other is a male.....the bad news is the male had a mild to bad infestation of spider mites...the female i really had to search but found a few.......

Im all about bugs that eat other bugs...I solved my fungus gnat problem with nematodes and they worked great and what was even better is they are so tiny you cant see them....so I went and got ladybugs for the spidermites.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk I dont like bugs...everytime I had to open the container to release more I was doing the crazy girl dance..get em off me get em off me!!!! I released them in my grow room which the female mutant isnt allowed back in there but Im treating the room regardless....My roomie really wants to keep the female and finish flowering her in the fireplace...I would much rather her be outside so we will have to see who wins this battle.....tonite I am setting up my hps light and fan....then we will kick elizabeth into flower........Im trying not to focus on the fact that my grow room is crawling w/ lady bugs....ewwwww I shouldnt have let so many go in Elizabeths closet.....eeeeekkkk I need to do some training.....how can I get my mind to shift so the ladybugs crawling on me dont freak me the fuck out?????

this is the female mutant: seeing those hairs so long and proud was the coolest thing in the world!!

They have no foothold, the two mutants that have them are outside and not coming back in. The rest of the girls all dif genetics from the mutants but same as each other are showing no signs of movement in terms of mites....Im aware that if Im seeing the mites in small amounts today then they have been with me for a few days to a week. However I think getting the lady bugs in there pretty early will save me.......plus I have plenty left over to disperse and I saw two humping:hump:in the grow room so that means Ill have some larvae that will hang out long after the ones I have are gone....I feel really confident about my position on the mites....

where do you get the einstein oil??

Im sorry to hear about the mites. They are the worst. I had them at my old house and never did get rid of them all the way. Do you have a scope to look for them? If not you can put the other plants branches over a paper plate and give them a good shake you should see some mites fall. then you will know. And dont forget they will hitch a ride on you when you are working on them so fresh clothes for the indoor stuff. FIGHT THE MITE!

LOL sounds like your gona have a riot on your hands. Dont worry they will all fly into your new light and they will be gone before you know it. One a side note are you sure they eat spider mites. I think you want predatory mites. I could be wrong.
