Well I can’t find the time hence my asking on a public forum in a public discussion for help. If I get help cool. If not..... guess I’m gonna fail ay? It’s 6pm ET now. Just getting home. Have to cook. Have to poop. Have to shower. Have to like...... give my son some time? Maybe talk to my ole lady some? Gotta get in bed at some point..... have 4-5 reasonable hours a day to do life. Then have to find time for extra. Where’s the time? I want to learn. Just what do I cut out? I’m seriously asking.
Plants are my hobby but my family are my life . You gotta take time to manage both . I do the grilling well because that’s my next hobby . What you could do is message Sara on gc or email mars . They’ll be more helpful than us . You got this bro .

Your immediate response was that if you can't get help, you fail. Piss poor attitude out of the gate. First change is right there.

I run a full time farm, I'm on call 24/7 as an independent consultant/contractor, have 4 kids, building my house, 3 lawns to mow, fields to plant... etc. Yea, I have a lot of shit to do too. That's life.

Asking is a good start. That chart, also a good start. That chart is giving you good numbers to work with and heights. Use your meter at 18", record your lux at those locations. Use it as a cross reference to find the right height. That's about all the advice I can give you. I don't know shit about these lights.

This help anything? Starting to get aggravated getting shit on because I can’t find the time/effort to be a weed growing guru. When actually I’m honestly doing pretty fine..........

I’m not trying to become that. Just trying to grow some smokeable pot for myself.

Does that above picture help anything?

I live in an illegal state, was working for now 5days a week x 10-12 hours a day plus on call 24/7. I have a son who’s 4 today. My ole lady doesn’t cook. Or clean......

What do? Get rid of the family so I can devote all my free time to growing? Just trying to set my lights at a decent spot holy shit.
If mapping is accurate, and you only have that light on, put youngest plants in corners, oldest in center, others in between, assuming color scales represent distance from center.

If spectrum is accurate, it’s good for veg.

Looks like you gave a great veg light for a 3x3 footprint...this should be big enuff footprint for quite a few veg-size plants...

Thank you for the info.

If I don’t get help I fail. That’s wrong? Nah man..... it’s pretty damn accurate unfortunately. Sad but true. I’m telling you. I know myself well. I’m not great at ANYTHING. Never have been.........

Wouldn’t you want your temps higher for clones ? Curious if I decide to do a clone tote one day .
Don’t pay attention to air temp/rh meters in pics (water meter is fine), the dome is off and door is open....

Air temp is 77F, inside dome rh% reads 99% (i doubt that, but it’s at least in the 80+% range), outside dome is 30%!

Do you try to be great, or do you just aim for good enough/passable? Serious question.
I don’t aim to be great. My dream is to be able to sit on my porch and smoke a joint and water my plants on the porch. I can’t do that. I don’t foresee my state changing any time soon. It’s hard to want my greatest quality in life, to be a “bad” one. It’s fuckin illegal man. If I get caught, I go to prison. End of story. This is very much a “hush hush” “sneaking around” operation.

I can’t pursue being great because I know the extreme limitations I face in the state I’m in.

Does the spec report mars provided not help us figure this out, or is every single person who buys a mars hydro ts-1000 supposed to call the president and ask them where to put the light?
You do need to do enuff homework to be able to read the par map you pisted and understand the targets i posted.

How i responded is how anyone with that basic knowledge would interpret what they show....

now whether the mapping is accurate?...you need to make that judgement by observing how your plants do.
