Looks good man, looks like u have a lot of stuff going as well... stay popping my friend lol. I’m also popping as well just not that scale.
That photon is a beast of a light according to migro, looks to be beasting in your veg. I use some shoplift fixtures that I custom in my veg tent, I’ll post pics tomorrow of that setup... snowing n almost freezing temps out in my garage.

I had the lights 2’ at 100% for a few days in veg till they got to about 18” from canopy then flipped, only had to move it once thru 19 day of flowering. No signs of stress or bleaching. I am pumping co2 starting at 1k since in veg and bumped up to 1200 3rd day of flower now I’m at 1400 and will top it out at 1500 after stretch.

Interesting, so the co2 seemed to help out a lot. My flower room is sealed running 1200ppm
Right now. I’ll have to check par at 2’ tomorrow at 100% to see what u were giving them. Maybe bump mine up sooner than later!

Yea man, get them closer if your using co2 with high temps, if u look at my pic my temps and humidity is up there. As of right now in day 19 the lights are at 16” or lower from canopy and I intend to leave it there until some stress or deficiencies pops it head out

So I lied... I’m 9” from the tallest cola and 14” from canopy in that space that the geekbeast is covering, no stress at 100% and it’s been at this level since week 2

Alrite day 21 flower, bottoms are thinned out, some foliage as well and 2nd trellis on.
What I can tell so far is coverage is excellent for 4x4. Penetration is decent, but cmh wins it’s so far as there’s more big developed buds on the lower sites. Bud development is maybe a hair slower than cmh? You guys be the judge of that..
Heat wise, this thing is warm at best. My room is 3 degrees cooler and my portable a/c hasn’t been kicking on 24/7 when lights are on, trips me out when I don’t hear it running, can’t wait to have another one in the setup!
On cruise control now, so another update will be when they finish in 40 days or so...

3500k is what got to match the cmh 3500k flowering bulbs, you bout beast out in room. U plan to let plants grow into the targeted ppfd? Or slowly lower it daily?

I was gonna let them grow into it but I’m thinking of lowering the lights a bit today since you had good results hitting them harder sooner. Probably start them closer next round.

Thanks. I spent about a month building it between work and telling my wife I need more money!
Agreed, your setup is awesome. I've got a bedroom with two tents, one for flower and one for veg. Currently breaking everything down so I can replace the carpet in the room with vinyl flooring.
Your amazing setup has got me thinking about ditching the tents and just using the entire room though...

I dropped them to about 18” at 100%. Getting about 750-800 par at the tops. Currently recirc flooding the cubes 3x a day. 6am, 11am, 4pm. I top it off with plain water and ph in the morning, check ppm. Add a little cal/mg based on the water I added back. Adding h2o2 every 3-4 days. When the ppm drops enough I’ll transfer the overflow to my drains and that watering will go out the wall then mix a fresh tank. Currently only using 10 gallons in the tank. As they start using more I’ll mix bigger batches, using 27 gal totes for tanks.
