I don’t have room to raise light during flower

i have a white widow auto it’s been in pre flower about 2 weeks I don’t have any height to raise it up but my light is dimmable what intensity should I have it on. It’s a100 watts full spectrum

Look into super cropping, that's what I'd do.

It’s on 75% intensity rn should I turn it down or up or leave it

Do you have a free LUX app for your phone? They might want more food before more light, but I don't know.

I see some height to be gained. Zip ties

Haha. I didn't notice the Shoelace light hangers,

I'd get some cheap light hangers.

Mount the driver on top of tent, it will reduce heat and give you more space.

LST ASAP

Gonna be a 2 oz yield right there, plant is way to big for that light, only gonna get some decent nugs up top and all that shaded stuff will produce nothing..i was about to say that budzbuddha, best you could do would lst it..just for more height but it will still suffer in yield regardless.

Hard to tell, but ph may be out of whack or looks like a potassium deficiency

Throw in a pic under a normal light not the led so we can see the health of the plant. I'd tie the top down slowly and get that light closer. It won't handle more light if it isn't eating proper

Try getting rid of that nylon string and use those wire hangers that came with the light by just doubling them backwards to the clip on the light; thus making them half as long

Wym ?

did your light not come with a ratchet hanger kit? Can always zip tie the light to that top pole and ditch the shoelaces. Also look into super cropping or lst as a few have already mentioned.. Also something to think about is only about the top 8-12" of that plant is getting any usable light, try flipping to flower when they are smaller next time.

The big aluminum box on top of the light is called the driver. If it has long enough cables, and can be detached from the LED board, best practice is to detach it and mount it outside the tent.

This reduces heat in the tent, which reduces need for cooling, also will allow you put the light as close to top as possible.

Just eye balling but looks like you could get nearly a foot of space back.

This is how I do mine.

Slick look with the plywood. I would take it a step further and paint it black for looks.

That’s a really big auto?? Hats off to you!

I was in this same mindset until I learned , 80F is great when theyre under LED
