I have about 1/2 my plants near 5' and about 1/2 are about 4'. I have 2 HPS 600W lights setup near the center area to spread out the light. [pics in my grow journal in my signature]
I had the taller ones in the center.
I just did a watering and moved the plants around. I moved the taller ones to the outside and the shorter ones to the center.
Then I moved the lights lower so that the shorter ones would have closer HPS light (about 18")
The issue is that the taller ones are not getting much light on the top 1' of the plant.
So, is having not much light on the very top going to matter much? They actually get great light at the rest of the plant, just not as much at the top.
Would I be better to move all the shorter ones to one side, the taller ones to the other side, then adjust the two lights over them?
I really don't want to raise 1/2 of them by 1', but I guess that would be the best option. It's just that I'm getting close to the time I'd put up the netting and they won't be movable after that.
BTW, they were/are growing fine before, I just wanted the shorter plants to get some close up HPS time.
These are older pics, but the lights are still the same mounting points, only lower and the plants have been moved.
