So here is my half of flowering room with 1 400 hps, 1 40w, 1 23w, 1 68w, 1 24" t5 with 4 24w. I took these pics right before watering, I just fed Thursday with 1/4 veg nutes and 1 tsp bloom nutes to a gallon, I was told to use some veg nutes to add N for the stretch. I have had issues with some spotting, but I think I have that under control now. I am just worried if there is not enough light, or if the plants are too bushy if the light is not going to go deep enough into the plants. I have all plants in 3 gallon pots. 4 plants I topped and lst'd, and 1 I just left alone just to experiment to see what differences there would be. I might go to the store today to get a 250 hps or even another 400, but I have not decided yet. I have the lights right now about 14" above plants, but I do not feel the light is covering all of the plants the best possible. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated! BTW, great journal!!!!!!!!!!!!

the girls look great, i would say the the plants are too bushy for a 400, the light doesnt penetrate that far, u need good airflow down beneath. i would either trim up or get the cfl's in the dark areas. cfl's can be up to 2" close. for a 400 the light should be 12-18 inches away. your gonna have some beast for sure rewarding you of the long veg n love.

If that's a 400 then at 12" the plants are getting the same lumens as a 1k a 24". My 400 runs very cool and I sometimes bump them down to 6 or 8"...crazy amount of lumen, I can get frostier buds of the same strain under my 4 than my 1k if I want.

All depends on how much heat it's putting out

I have never trimmed my plants, do I just go in and trim the fan leafs or what exactly would I trim? I am going to invest in another 400 or 250 but that wont be coming for atleast a week. I would like to trim, just not sure how, and do not want to trim them wrong. Thanks TrynaGro!
