Is this the beginning of light bleaching❓

That chart is a joke, no way those lights are putting out 1122ppfd @ 18” if I flowered at that height, I would have popcorn nugs galore

youre issue is.that the plant is too tall for leds. so the tops getting good.light while the bottom is not. if you hung at 18" it would.be like 2.5ft or more.from.the bottom shoots. gotta even out that canopy and make it even from.the start so the light will shine on each bud with the same ish intensity.

You ever see a commercial indoor grow?
They use led's high above the plants and they do not get "popcorn"
Never seen one at less than a foot over canopy

commercial grows generally use alot of light so.raising them up spreads the light out more rather.than having hot spots. rasing the lights up high only works when you are running alot of lights.
they also generally use lower angle reflectors which focus the light in a smaller area so rasing them higher doesnt drop par values as quickly. and the light spreads like.a cone less on top more on bottom.so lights up high that cone gets bigger and crosses the other lights cones

There's no point in wasting all that light when ~ 850 umols will suffice

Here is 1500 umols With CO2

That grow is in my mates house.
I grow in very cool condiitions and CO2 would be useless for my grows.
No, it's bottled CO2. My mate has a friend that works for a bottled gas supplier and he throws him a bit of weed in exchange for the CO2.
Fair exchange is no robbery ...... lol
