You join me at week 4 of veg. These were clones taken during flower of my last run hens all the branches, no topping done.

It'll be a semi scrog, the net I have isn't up to much but I'll do what I can with it.

I'm still quite the beginner at this but have a few harvests under my belt now, I'm going to try and keep this diary well updated and hope anyone with any tips for me to increase yield or if anyone sees me doing something blatantly wrong they can help.

Set up.

4'×2'×6' grow tent

4x QB288 3500K with a dimmer, ranges from 90w to 550w at the wall

20L fabric pots, biobizz all mix with extra perlite added.

Strain is from sweet seeds "cream manderine F1 fast version"

Feeding schedule as per biobizz chart

Does anyone have any input as to where I should have my lights with the dimmer switch? Between 90w and 550w, I've got it about 280w just now

I am running 4x qb288 3000k on a dimmer...

I can only tell you from my experience @ 24inches the 280W should be fine in veg. I didn't have any light burn issues and my layout is in a 3x3 tent with the boards mounted in a square configuration.

I made an excel sheet and calculated the rough ppfd at different heights and dimming power. i used that to figure out my target for veg and flower.
