Yea I have 4 pro 4's do you think that'll be enough for a 4x8
Damn your not fucking around huh? With the pro4's you'll get ALOT more light. your basically covering 10 square feet with 400 watts and I'm covering 16 square feet with 450 watts. Little loss in efficiency by having the 3590's at 2800ma? 100 watts vs them driven at the typical 50 watts but you also make up for that minor drop in the newer monos and meanwell drivers. I just picked up 2 pro4's myself and I can't believe how massive they are. I pictured half of an se-450 not an equivalent.

Girls mid week 7 under the pro 9

Cotton candy right
Pineapple express left
Lots of praying leaves in there and those buds are fattening up nicely. I see what your saying about the lower leaves. I actually have 1 of the 9 doing the same thing. It's about 50% yellow while the rest of them are nearly perfect.

well things are filling in nicely. Thankfully I have the scrog up. Had some real high branches popping up and it was easy to tie them down to the netting. Lights are high which isn't the best but I'm also getting some bleaching on the overlaps. No solution but to let it be I guess. A dimmer on the middle light would help.

Yea I don't really see any signs of light burn so maybe it was the tap messing with the pH those first 2 weeks? The other siden of my tent is the flood table and those plants are mid week 3 and about 10" from the Johnson cx9 and they're starting to bulk up with no light stress either. Those were ro since the beginning and other than the occasional yellow leaf toward the bottom the rest of the plants are healthy. Now I'm debating ditching the flood table and running dual bucket systems

What does the bleaching look like?

It will take a few runs to get things sorted out. I wouldn't ditch anything just yet. Bleaching is where the top leaves turn yellow from to much light. Even lower leaves can get it too and super noticeable where higher leaves block light and you can see a leaf looking impression in lower leaves.

LOL is that the dehumiddy in the background? I got the same setup in my tent with the hose running to the floor drain. How is it in the winter? Don't need to use?

thats where I dry a few plants and store trim and the cured stuff. I have cameras in there that alert me so by the time someone comes in and gets to the goods I'll be there with an AR. The bottom is elevated and the base/floor is screen for air flow. Inside is about 10 rows of coated wire for hanging. I guess storage and a table to hold mason jars and a place to do scale work.

Winter is cold af here. I just dump hot air and save about 300 a month

hey, how tall do your autos usually end up, my grow cab has about 6 feet of grow space, the top 1 foot is for fans and filters, and the bottom foot is for the containers, leaving me about 4 feet max for plants,, is that do able?
