What im sayin is i could do a foot w 1000 and 1" w floros on dwc. Soil i can only do 1 foot w floros, so what should i do w 600s on soil? Bcuz i havent put em under the 600s yet. I have 12 600s in my flower room. Has anyone experienced this prob w soil grows?
I grow in soil with 600's and I usually keep them 18' above the canopy. You can use the judge the warmth on the back of your hand method. If it's to hot for your hand it's to hot for the plant.
You need to look into the led shop lights from Sam's club for veg......less heat and power consumption, and the plants can grow into them without burn. My t-5's are now in storage.

:peace:

Went from cups to 1 gal to 3 gal to 7gal all in 35 days. Seems the roots grow straight down then out to the sides then spiral. The 7 gal are fabric the rest were plastic. Hopefully the fabric will prevent this. If not i plan to bury them in a raised bed
7's are all you need indoors.How long do you veg? I veg my Indicas 6 wks and Sat's 3-4 tops.

:peace:

I've experienced this in the grow I'm doing now. I had a 1000 that I could get extremely close to the canopy (dwc-nft type setup), less than a foot, and now I'm burning tops with my 600's and the plants in soil. And the lights are farther than a foot. I'd say to keep them 18" off the tops of the plants. No idea the reasoning behind the difference in soil and hydro.

Thanks team: yes, 18" is the traditional #....and the "Warmth Felt" is the gauge.
I've been going with 20-24 inches. It seems to reduce stretch. I feel at canopy and below the canopy. I find the light radiation doesn't warm my hand much as 24 inches which means the temperature is closers to the 75-78 vs at 18 inches when I can feel a strong warmth on my hand and the template are in the low 80s.

Ive noticed this phenomenon only in soil also. My theory is that when roots have 100% freedom w ZERO restrictions (as in dwc or after a fresh transplant in soil) the plant is able to grow at 100% with no limiting factors. Ive also notices a correlation in leaf size. In dwc (zero root restriction) i once grew a fan leaf that was 18" long from stem to tip of longest blade! Yes i said 18"! Ive never achieved this in soil even w the same cut.

Hey guys. Question about my LED. It's from the USA where we use 110 v. Now I'm in Europe where we use 220 v. As far as I know this should work fine here, just wanted to double check with you guys first. :)

YES. See the input? Up to 240v. So ur good. Usually can get a euro plug adapter. It will be two boys and a ground for euro

Yay you got them finally...lol
