I just moved my plant down from the light and now the top canopy is about 8"-10" from the light.

My question is if this is to far for maximum light penetration?

With a 150 I would say yes thats quite far away from the canopy. My 150 bulb is usually about 4" from the tops closest to it. Try to keep it as close as possible without burning or heat stressing the plants.

Good morning DOC D! nice set up you got going on in there. Just a bit of advice if you can get your plants closer to that 150w you will make better usage of lumes out put. When there over 5-6 inches away the light starts to diminish so your not making the full usage of the light. just a head up my friend. looking good so far tho!

I put my plants 5" closer to bulb. I'll pay attention to potential burns.

thanks for your advice :tiphat:

I’m stoked :jump:, got my 150w vert cab setup last night. Need to get all the cables and loose ends in order tonight. Will post some pics in the near future. I guess I need to have 50 posts before I can post pics?

No, just create an album of your photos in your account page and link them in the post.

Specs
150w HPS flower may add 70w HPS that I have laying around
Got 26w cfl on clones will add more as needed to support moms/clones
170cfm fan with speed controller, temp stay 3 degrees above ambient
Carbon filter
¾ “ plywood, no frame, glued and screwed used kreg pocket hole jig, weighs a ton
Flower 23 ¼ “ X 23 ¼ X 55” – 41” from floor to bottom of fan/filter
Veg, mom/clone chamber is same width and depth and 24” high
4 plants in flower, LC organic mix #1. Will add vert screens soon. My safe addy fell through and I don’t see one coming along for a long time so I’m stuck with bagseed. I have been out of the scene for a long time and never been around growers in the southern state that I have lived in for over 15 years. These were just potted up and put in the cab. They were kind of neglected for the past month in a window waiting for the cab to be finished which took forever! Will take better pics later with the lights off.
