Light Bleaching? Anything I can do?

Remove the yoyo hangers. Place key rings in the 4 corner hanging loops of the light and use just the D ring to clip it to the support the yoyo's are hanging from. Should give you 4-5 inches at least.

I will have a look tomorrow properly if there's any means of me raising the light somehow, I will post a pic showing how much room there is above if any and I'll check what can be supercropped. its not just that main stem that's the problem there are a few in the centre that are not necessarily big colas but still getting the same effect but they are just a little bit too tall! like 20 cm under the light but still too much. raising the light is definitely the best means of solving this problem but not sure I can do so. tonight I have them on at 80% for the COB Red LED and just seeing if things are any different tomorrow. the light is heavy also. its like 15 kg or something. I will provide an update...

I like that. that's fair enough. that actually made me stop and contemplate for a second and realize my foolishness. I will have proper look at the stems tomorrow

This is the light that I use

OK guys here is a quick update. First of all I am supercropping the main top! this top has grew ABOVE the light! Crazy! day 25 still going and this plant had its stem split at the base during veg with LST! crazy genetics! 5 Phenos of the same plant but 2 really exploded because of their sativa influence.


Here is a shot of the second side of the cabinet. these are also very stretchy but as you can see there really is not a lot of room to move... there should be a bit of room on the right side though. Hopefully from this you can see that this light is pretty much as far as it can go. I can still provide another picture in detail if needs be but I'm telling you space is pretty tight lol.



And lastly wanted to just point out the buds that were affected by this bleaching thing... its not even the colas at all, in fact the branches outside of the direct radius of the light seem to be doing fine. its the buds that are directly under the COB lights. they are right in that sweet spot where they are just getting burnt but the rest of the canopy so far is fine but I do believe they are still getting bigger by the day! I hope they stop soon lol
