Hey me again with my two cents. With my Mars and non brand led. 600w and 300w. Has seedlings I'll keep it 30in. After couple weeks I'll bring them to 18in. During flower I'll let her get as close as 8 inches before I raise it anywhere from 12-18in. My non brand leds are same thing as the Mars. Pretty much though leds are meant for 24 to 18in.

You know what I just realized you were talking about an earlier post. Yes, I did end up trashing 2, frying 3 while I'm a paper towel, and fried another 2 that I hung. I always had a hard time germinating seeds until my last 3 seedlings that I relocated. Honestly I expected them to fail as well but I lucked out and found my sweet spot in terms of environment and method of germination.

Thanks for the tip on the LEDs. However, I was actually talking about light distance with a CMH. Unfortunately, I cannot get anywhere near 12-18in with this light, regardless if it were veg or flower.

Day 40 update!
Had to give the ladies some room! Unfortunately the 2x2 has no ventilation at the moment and it's getting ridiculously hot in there with the LED.

Too hot in the LED tent. Had to pack them into the CMH tent. Growth also seemed to slow down in the LED room as well. Gonna attribute that to temp, rather than the light.
Leaf sweat
Packed
Tops for days on both the ladies. The bushy girl is the same but obviously a lot of the tops are being covered by Fan leaves

Taking afew fan leaf might help with higher temps. Not 100% sure with that remark, but the less square inch of leaf should cut back on transpiration rates. I think. This is just a thought in my mind,, but it will help keep the airflow going. I always preach against harvesting fan leaf, but is a time and place. You might want to dig up abit of info about it abit, if your going to grow throughout the summer. Alot of tropical strains have minimal leafage.. Heat is why I shut down summertime. No, I can't lie, it's called lazy. My flower room needs a rebuild from controller to the rails and I even have one of them portable A/C units. I bought that sucker 2 years ago during a heat wave. All were sold ou and took 3 days to get.. By then it cooled down and I haven't used it yet... But when I do my cleanup for my next flip, I'm going to set it up. Ya right... But it's sure hard on a indoor grower, without A/C to do it after the ambient temps hit a certain temp.

That actually makes sense. I'll research a bit more. However they are autos and I'm not sure how clipping leaves will affect her.
I hear ya about setting things up. The initial setup was fun, but now I dread having to make modifications to the tent. Especially since it's so small. I have to pull everything out to make any changes

Sorry for the late reply brotha. Yeah I went ahead and took a few but regretted it. At the rate that autos age they start to fall off on their own. Ymmv

Almost forgot the pictures
Here is few pics of the youngins
Didn't get a chance to take a pic of the WW but there is definitely a difference in development. Actually I'm gonna snap one real quick. Not going to be the same quality photos since it's from my phone though

Looks like they are bushy & stretching up, the more leaves the more humidity, I put a second oscillating fan at floor level pointed at the lower branches, it seemed to help a lot pushing air up through and keeping the leaves dry.

Yeah the one in the LED tent is no longer stretching, due to it being 2in away. Had to modify the hangers to get it about 10 in

I changed out the hangers (cables) that came with my lights, I measured the distance between the tabs on the light housing and found some 60# fishing leaders that were about the same as the measurement, was able to gain about 12"...the cables that come with some of these lights are awfully long...they really don't need to be if you are using a ratchet hanger...that give you 6" of tent clearance when pulled all the way up which is about all that is needed!

Yeah I did something similar. I just took the cables off, and attached the ratchet hangers directly to the hanging brackets on the LED.

Day 61
Checked her out on the microscope and she's showing cloudy with about 1% amber. I'm thinking flush starting at day 68 then chop chop at 75.

The white widow is still struggling and has slowed tremendously due to temps. Tons of hairs and frost but no size.
