^ Another way to say it.. and this will ruffle some... I think anyone who uses glass on the reflectors has room to improve their garden.. simply by removing the glass and moving the lights up a little higher than they were WITH glass. I know it is bold.. Anyone who disagrees with me.. I...

Yeah, totally. But I think a great grower with a 250 can beat a guy with a 600 that knows a little bit as well.. doesn't have to be Great VS Shitty.. Great VS Not bad can still show the Great as a winner. I still think that a 250 with no glass up higher can beat out a 600 with glass that is 1...

I think we get obsessed with pieces of the puzzle like intense light.. thinking MORE is better. Instead of thinking.. what makes the plants happy? In nature, we don't have a beaming arc of sun that comes into the plant at angle.. We have a plant nicely illuminated all over.. closer to what I...

Yep.. I kept a prefilter on my aircool circuit and cleaned the glass about every 4 wks.. makes a BIG difference. How did you come to 8 %? I am going to have to see a complete 180deg turn from what I have been seeing to ever go back to glass.. I just don't see it happening. I think that the...

I really am beginning to believe that the plants do not need nearly as much light as I have thought in the past.. (and most other think, currently) There are many factors that come into play that cannot be explained simply by one piece.. like how intense the light is at the distance from the...

A light posted higher will cover more area?

sarcasm?....

That's right.. I do not grow marijuana. Take one word out of that sentence if you want to.. Don't get caught up in that.. If you don't wanna try it, it's cool. I'm just sharing my findings with you all and would encourage anyone to try it as well. Im confident you will find the same results...

Glass magnification might sound good in writing.. higher yields in front of you, in your hand, that is real life goodness in your hands.. A simple check with a light meter or even a hand test will show you that glass does not increase light delivered to your plants.

All of this is in good nature.. Not trying to start some shit.

I don't have all of the answers here.. I'm still learning myself. The deeper I go into forgetting all of those things that I "learned" by reading the more my grow changes into something that looks different from what others are doing AND the higher my yields and quality get.. So I guess, don't...

On the face of it.. exactly.. I think that it is a mix of things.. 1,,, I do not think that mj needs nearly as much light as we all have come to believe.. it can produce dense buds in high yields and high quality with less light.. 2,,, Glass robs the plants of light cutting down your...

I don't grow mj.. wouldn't have anything to take pics of..

I think what this could lead to is that we can cover WAY more area with WAY less light having them up WAY higher. So.. basically.. I think that a 250w hps up way high (no glass) can do more than a 600w aircooled 8 inches over the plants.. all other factors being adequate that is.. (air, nutes...

What are your thoughts tip top? I know you've been growing a bit.. what do you think about this? Disagreeing is not a problem at all.. if you think I am off here I would like to know. I'm not gonna start name calling or anything.. all in the name of bigger better buds.. :joint:

I cannot speak on it until I have tested more... but.. I suspect that a 600w with no glass is going to end doing very well 3 ft over the plants... Better than 2 ft.. Maybe even 4 ft.. who knows? Im going to keep raising it until I find that point that they do not see better growth. I'll be...

Yeah, as high as possible would be too high for some room/plants.. I was thinking in mind of 4 ft tall plants in a room with 8.5 ft ceilings.. depending on your situtaion, can differ. ditch the glass and keep a 400 18-24 inches.. 600 20-36.. maybe more.. Then, play with it on your own.. I...

I'm still playing with the height right now.. something more specific than "higher".. I would say with a 400 watt.. 18-24 inches..

5.5 ph water going in... 7ph coming out.. what gives? Was never like this is the past.. seeing in 2 different gardens..

Has anyone noticed that US House and Garden Coco over the last 4-5 months has been consistently higher in PH? The medium used to easily sit in the range of 6.5 with watering in at 5.8 or so.. Now, I have serious trouble getting the ph to come down in the media... the plants are showing signs...
