I have 8 plants, all 10 to 12" away, in the sweet spot of a bare 400w HID.
When I asked "Why the cool tube", I meant hood, but it doesn't look hoody.
IMO, 18" is much too far, plus the glass absorbs light. Until your heat needs control, you could remove the socket/mount assembly and run it bare. Don't worry about lighting the ceiling, you'll still put more light on the plants.
Better yet, if you have two 400s, run them both over your table down low.
I'd like to see you grow some major, donkey dick size colas.
Thanks again gator , so i adjusted my light's,and got them about 14"above the tops (gota work em into the sun). I will continue to lower tell im about 8-12 inch away,from my tops .I plan on running all my ventalation in about a week or 2 so ,ill just leave the cool tubes together,if i was goin to veg longer i would take the socket out and go bare. (thanks for the idea tho) I also just added my other 400 to the table (SCrogg is crossing my mind )
herbsnbuds,Thanks for stopn thru again. I actually am going to leave the plastic ,i have 2 air stones in my res, pumping plenty of oxygen.Like u stated it should be ok.
I was thinking it was also helping keep mold off my medium and its not like the plastic is air tight. (that shits hard to maneuver around those gurls)
Now i have been thinking hard . and i don't know what to do . i know that if im trying to get big buds ,im going to need sum thing to support those BUDS. so this is my question ,am i better off SCROGGING or do i tie them up /to stakes ? i have no clue (just dont want them to fall over) I'M leaning towards doing a Scrogg.ill just go buy sum PVC pipe and make a frame for the screen(mabie) I want to see what others think.
