Well I don't have any issues with bleaching at 30 inches directly under the light and 20 inches off towards the perimeters. I have never had bleaching in the center between my lights even if the plants get up really really tall, I think because the light is hitting from different angles? Could it be that your feed strength is low and the plants want a little more, or pH is off and they can't get the food thats provided? Your setup shouldn't be light bleaching, not even remotely close to bleaching at those distances. Of course you understand that with the HPS lighting I am unable to see the bleaching but I can see that your lights are more than far enough from the canopy to prevent bleaching.another question for ya renfro how close are you running your 1000wde ive added a third light to middle plant think its starting to bleach the leaves mainly on middle plant bottom leaves nice green tops starting toget lighter in color i think maybe the middle plant is getting to much overlapping light from side lights plus one above there at 4.2 feet above canopy at moment cant go higher set at 1000View attachment 4354669
With my DE's I don't raise and lower them, I just hang them as high as I can and let the plants grow to them.
Anyways, I hope this was helpful.
