I don't understand some of you...the lights are different and separated from any interaction=side by side.
It's a side by side to see when USING EACH LIGHT if/and what the differences are. Differences are noted...and either treated/attended to if they're bad, or admired if good.
Like I said the hps and led will end up closer...patience people. 12" is not happening I can tell you that...but lower it will get(actually higher they will grow).
Glad you are all entertained. I have some pics to post tonight(nothing you haven't seen in the videos). I have been taking some but just getting the updates done is a hard sometimes. I start normal job work at 4am everyday, then have to wait till 9pm to start working in the garden at nights...which is at least a couple hours every night...sometimes just keeping the co2 up(chiefing)...but it's hard to want to do anything other than grind in there and go to bed. That's why I like veg...I can hang out with the girls all day once I'm off. Time is getting precious, so it's hard to take a minute for pics and vids sometimes. Anyways, I will get them up soon
hey man, I think you are doing a good job. I am not complaining or trolling...Hats off to you for doing this....for real. I was only stating something I would do to prevent so much stretch..that is all. but the overall height would be reduced if you could keep the light closer.
Alot of hid growers imo put their light to close even with venting. I think the closest a 1000w should ever be is 18 -20 inches in flower after stretch, Rotate consistently to avoid bleaching and give optimal light. That's still pretty close.
ant that's your opinion. I can say from experience 12" distance produces PHENOMENAL results without bleaching.
I can also say that a lights intensity drops off exponentially with distance. So the bottom line is the closer the better if you can get away without bleaching.
i'm not trying to interfere with the experiment here guys. just saying that I would be unhappy if my plants were that stretchy,and I would do something about it.
the led grown plants look great!
