They've lost a leaf or two, I think visually they look different more because I spread them out on the table more.

Looks like you need to lower your 1,000 watt light closer to the plants.
How close do you have yours? In the old days I had them way up, right now its at about 22" in the picture. Using a light meter it keeps it pegged almost all the way to outskirts of my table footprint.

Yeah I know how close they "can" go but Im trying to gain the extra coverage of the outer area as well. I find when you lower the light the coverage changes because the shadows start to lay outwards on the edge plants vs a light that is higher and all the shadows are shorter/non existent. Did that make any sense or should I just drop it on them LOL, like I said I used my light meter and at that distance the light change was minimal all the way to the edge of the footprint.

That makes sense to me. It's more over them all and not over the middle ones and to the side of the others casting sideways shadows. I think it would all about even out... light higher = even buds, light lower = bigger buds in the middle, smaller on the sides... but overall it'd be about the same I reckon.

You have fun at the river?

Use your lazy Susan and spin...mine is about 8" to 10" away.

How are the plants smelling? Are they frosting up? They look great!

They are getting frosty. I'd say they have a diesel smell, kinda just a funk. Reminds me of the dog. Even under the 600 I could see the bud development was very nice. With about 3 more weeks to go I think the 1k might have time to fatten them up nicely

edit: I go for footprint before distance. Have you tried to see what happens with the glass out?
Not yet, the 600 was quite a bit warmer with the glass out. Temps last night were really manageable, I dont think the AC ran any different than with the 600 without the glass. I might take it off tonight to test. I like to ease into things gentle ya know! In my head Im seeing both lights running already, even though I told the wife I would sell the 600. Oops I forgot to make that craigs ad still!

She needs to know its worth more running than being sold sold for a few extra bucks that are just going to evaporate anyways... Thats how I rationalize it lol


Gotta do what ya gotta do!

So...if bigger in the middle and smaller on the sides, does that equal - in weight - light higher and even buds all over?


...how's it going Chaka?
