Never thought of doing that. The plants are near enough the same height and distance, maybe a couple of inches here and there between them where some of the colas have a bit more stretch other the rest of the plants
A $30 lux meter will give you a good Idea what kinda light your putting on those girls would be money well spent. In flower lux light should be between 5500 to 8500 I think. I was at 8500 to 9500 at 12 inches with my light. It was a great hight for Photos but like I said. Autos with lights on for extra 6 hours showed light stress.
My other girls were going same direction. First sign was yellowing and curling up and some down and then brown spots with drying leaves.
I just needed to have some sort of reference on light. It does what I need it to. I take readings with a grain of salt. If I really wanted to know actual light I would have paid $600+ for PAR meter. I did that mars light contest so I used my light from seedlings. I had light at 35% for veg. Next time I'm bring out my little 100w burple for veg. Not going to waste all those watts on veg; In fact I was thinking about buying a nice T5 setup for seedlings and veg .
I was running the light at 75%. The dehumidifier is the biggest issue with heat as when it's not on the temps from the lights never go above 25C but can go above 30C with the dehumidifier on.
Yea the leaves on the plant that was furthest along curled up with brow patches then went dry and crispy, the leaves went that dry they would just crumble. It seems more with the plants that are budding, plants were fine before the buds started showing.
link doesn't work but no worries... Sure It can help but I'm not so sure how if we can trust those. They are par charts for the sale of their products and not sure every light is exactly the same. For example My light says 450w at 100% but measured it is 435w actual draw. I watched Mr. Grow do an unboxing of my light and he was drawing 525w at 100% with my light.
Link is working fine for me.
yes but my point is, it wasn't your light hanging in tent. It was same light but not yours. I don't think they are all exactly alike. Similar but I personally think they very a bit. Just a personal opinion based on what I have seen and my light experience. Learning to read the plant is the best way to figure out light hight. I think 12-18 inches is a good baseline. If top leaves start to curl and turn yellow you need to either dim or raise lights. If you're 18 inches away from your top buds you're not burning anything. Yes you want to be at a hight that pushes them without burning. I'm sure it depends on strain. I think the extra 6 hours of light but I don't know. I just know they don't like 12 inches. I have them at about 15 inches now and I'm hoping this is right. They seem to like it better. Others have already gotten some green back in them and there starting to uncurl.
I understand what your saying, just like a car, same model etc but doesn't always mean it performs or drives identical.
I understood what you were saying about placing the plants at different heights.
I'll keep checking them every couple of days. One of the other plants is starting to show some Amber, the buds are less developed than the one I took the pics of though.
