First time grow wondering about height of plants and options and sizes I should be aiming for with my grow

32Lx32Wx63H grow tent
4 inch fan and carbon filter
900w viparspectra reflector series led
Soiless medium (promix hp)
Remo nutrients
Plants -o.g kush from seedling..jack herer from clone


Problem I'm looking at is the recommended light heights from the manufacturer and the actual room I have and how to get best yeild I can as I'm a heavy smoker...figured I'd try my hands at 2 plants and go from there but anyone know a recommended number of plants for my area and light? Thx guys 20180311_194447.jpg 20180311_194508.jpg 20180311_194447.jpg

Also hydro shop closed until Tuesday...safe to use vinegar in water to bring down the ph level? Using a pool tester kit at the moment and reads around 7.5ph from the tap...if ok to use how much in a gallon would bring it down to a suitable level for the plants? Thx again..I know new guys eh lol

First GLARING PROBLEM ......

Drop light to 15-18" over cups .
FLIP BOTH SWITCHES ON.

Led channels are hella weak ran individually .... Run all on .... Thru end.

I used Vipar , it is the most common mistake with users , they fire up only the blue during veg , it Vegs horribly by itself. Trust me on this ......

Getting on that right now...the manual recommends 32-40 inches...you sure 15 or 18 is going to be okay for the girls?

Remember , as long as there is adequate air movement over plants they will be fine.
It took some experimenting and watching / talking with other Vipar users to get the specifics.

15-18 " over canopy ( once they are growing good )
Seedlings 18"-20"

Led ( like Vipar ) makes plants use water slower as they don't transpire like with other lights. You will find that you will water MORE SPREAD OUT. This is where overwatering autos become a problem.

You can EVEN , scoop a cup of FFOF into some cheese cloth , hang it in tap water ( 24 hours to vapor off some chlorine first ) , let it make a tea ( you can aerate the solution too with airstone ) , and foliar / water in this mix. It has all the goodies in it.

Lol just getting started haven't even begun looking at teas...just finally getting my head around the nutrient schedual..I would assume remo has everything they need? Ffof from what I've found out isn't sold in alot of hydro stores around here...neither of these plants are autos I believe as well..I've lowered the light to 20 inches above the bigger potted clone and turned on the bloom and increased my exhaust to handle the extra heat...hopefully see some progress tmrw...esp in the little guy
