Nice looking garden! You're summer set up sounds interesting, with the Area 51's. If at all possible, I'd love to see a picture of all of your lights, in order to better picture the combination/layout you've got going on up there.

I'll get that up tomorrow, just seen this post and they are sleeeeeeping, as of right now i have 3 1000 watt vertical og hoods in one straight row in a 6 x 12ft room, and ill be changing that to a staggered pattern think x=hps o=led x o x in one row than o x o in a second row and dimming all the hps lights down to 75% or 50% using dimmable quantum ballasts to stay in the 3000 watt realm.

I currently have two Procyon 300's & two 100's. I was checking out your settings in your Sundial program and how you set your program to kind of mimic the actual rising and setting of the sun. I thought this was interesting and was wondering if your interested in trading Sundial settings. The one I am using now has 60 days of programming with 4 weeks of veg and then it goes right into the flower programming. I got my settings from Ryan at homegrownlights (Procyon mfg for those who don't know). For anyone who wants the settings just let me know where you want the settings sent. Cococola36 contact me to trade settings.

I've been looking at beta testing the Procyon 300 for a few months. Understanding you're only 30 days into flower, what's your feeling on trichrome development? It sounds like you're moving away from the Procyon units and going to other LEDs.

That's a really nice light spectrum those A51 are putting out............I reminds me of a CMH!!(which you should put in those OG vert hoods :))

The procyon 300 works well and resin it's awesome however the penetration is the concern until they finish designing there secondary lens for the panel its great for adding a very spread out spectrum which now it's between my hid lights

Thanks alot Eraserhead!, took a while to get it all up lol, the lights are on full power the top canopy shot i used a blue effect with my camera to get it look clear. I have them 15 inches away from the tops to have a happy medium of canopy penetration and spread.

If you can, try to squeeze another 3" more distance. ;)

You'll be happy with your outcome.

What strain are you growing? I might have missed it from earlier if you mentioned it.

I just started some C99xRomulan's under the same light. They are just infants now, 4 days from poking their little heads out of the Rapid Rooters.

18" is optimal for the entire grow (using veggie mode during veg, and flowering mode during flowering), though seedlings could use less light, a well placed CFL for the 1st week or 2 does wonders, otherwise, 21" to 24" is okay.

I am from A51 if you're wondering. I don't try to sell things to people here, but for those that already have the light, I'll add input if needed.
