Yes, the controlling height is the ht of the uv tubes, the bottom of which is 22”, at 45 degree angle to tent side; so, main lights are roughly 24” above tops, running ~1050 ppfd.

The reason I asked this is because the 288 boards being more efficient should out do the 96s. I think you showed that the spectrum was roughly the same, so the issue is penetration it seems.

Spectrum similar at red end; lots more blue in 96s, which may also be playing a role.
There isn’t that much canopy depth to penetrate.

Just wow dude! Gonna be a wall to wall green shag carpet. I have got to be more daring with my defols! Just a gorgeous bunch of girls in those tents!
Are they starting to become odoriferous? I'll bet it's like a fruity flavored skunk walking through a pine forest in there right now.
I was more than 50 posts behind that I didn't get notifications about.... Missed a bunch of updates! Now to check Steak's and Ibn's threads. Haven't seen any updates from them for a while either...

Btw, i think @mr. childs told me they don’t smell when stressed...i took it to mean they don’t smell like skunk....
and, i’ve noticed less skunkyness when they seem to be happy....
Course, it could just be that i’m saturated in skunk smell....

Man, oh man...sticky, sticky, sticky...the gaps are filling in w 2nd flush pistils; 1st flush nugs are hardening up.
Could be a large qty of nice lookin colas on the way....might even get ridiculous if they keep this pace up.
Both tents doing well...again, i’m happy with performance of both lighting configs.
Strainwise is very interesting. My fave of the 4 strains is Trainwreck, handsdown: fast and easy grower, most light intensity-tolerant, big yielder, excellent frostiness, excellent juicyfruit smells, potent as all get out...one on the best strains i’ve grown, right up there with super silver haze.
The big surprise for me, so far, is the Green Crack; advertised as easy-to-grow, it has been a pita at every turn; but now has the fattest, fullest, densest colas of all 4, cant wait to see how it finishes.
The Original Glue is close behind TW and GC, but just seems a little weaker and slower than its mother’s performance (especially the one in the 96 tent).
The Jack Herer is looking to continue its disappointing ways, i think i cloned its worst pheno....nice mains/laterals with plenty of budsites, BUT w mouse testicle sized buds...pretty af, w pinkish-purple colored calyxes, but tiiiiiiiiiiiiny friggin buds.....hopefully they’ll swell into something....
Probably swapout nutesoup this weekend, make sure everything is fresh and balanced...also, prob take uvb to defcon 1.

You're gonna reach in some day soon and it will come out looking sort of like this.
And then, here's the OG yield having just been cut off the plants...
Sad to hear about your Jack Herer! I'm glad that's not the normal to be expected. I'm looking forward to the pink colors in there! I didn't know it displayed that way.
There's gonna be a Green Crack in my future at some point. I tried it the first time about 6 years ago and it was some of the best tasting bud I'd had at that point. Sounds like I need to check out the TW too.

Funny shit!
Already, my fingers get that annoyingly sticky feeling...but...i can...
