I just bought my second one. My plants seem to love it and it’s been growing wonderful
Yep, you’re new.
Thank you, I have way too large of an area for my one hps 600. I have 2 hids, and a ton of led.
3 x 1000 hps
please dont make multiple posts on the same subject,
Will do thank you.
No offense, but you have to be cool with the people here. I know you want help and are excited but there are a lot of people who would help you more if you were nice and polite.
Good luck on your first. After more than 10 years it becomes old hat.
Thank you very much, if its different then it will be a good observational experience, which from what I read the cmh has uvb and the hps does not. Sounds like a plan, im going to set them up today. Will report back. Thank you.
This is what I was looking for, its not in a tent I can use any of the area in a temp controlled room. So I can adjust the footprint. Right now its 4x8 because
This is how it is but I have 3 more of them led panels to add.
I definitely would love to try Scroggins, this is my first time I'm just trying to get the lights, airflow, temp, humidity, nuts, and watering down. I didn't know it was this much work. God bless you guys who have done this forever. I will work on getting them off the wall and install two new 20 amp circuits for the setup. Then setup the lights like you said. Maybe arrange some of them, there is a 8 lights t5 ho with leds in it also on the far end.I'm defo not an expert, so my $.02 is just that.
In the upper left of the shot, some of your tallest colas seem to have outgrown the light - maybe put them there?
Other than that, "appears" even.
It's really tough to even out lighting with mixed sources - especially grow lights.
Burples, & Far red / IR appear differently to our eyes than they do to plants, so it's almost impossible for the human eye to accurately depict the output of a 5w / 5600k white light vs a 5w / 600+nm red light.
(sorry for the K / nm mix - apparently wedding cake isn't such a good morning clarity strain...)
If you can adjust your footprint, then maybe consider a SCROG and pack colas into the canopy tighter and consolidate your lighting footprint.
Other spectral weirdness:
Boats & planes usually employ red night lights at the foot level - red doesn't kill night vision.
Red is absorbed very quickly underwater - 25% @ 2ft depth IIRC.
