my 1000 sits over my ladies like 1.5' some its 2 because they are a couple inches shorter.. I keep taller ones on the outside, shorter ones in the middle.. stadium affect to follow the shape of the bulb..



just keep it cool over the plants, don't let em dry out too much, and leave em alone.. you're going to love em to death :p

you have anything like kelp meal, or earth worm castings? that baby needs some rehab.. your stem looks really stressed or stunted.. I'd flush, more if you have to. let her dry out, then start her on some organic tea.. i say organic so you don't burn em.. maybe even some alaska fish emulsion, go light it could get hot if you over do it.



edit: ooops, that group shot is not of them organized, i had just flushed and needed to clear out some space..

this is better but the lights are higher so they stretch some before flower..i do it my way, like Frank Sinatra.

is your 1000 on a mover? cause i heard you can keep them alot closer on a mover then if it was stationary.peace

you can keep stationary or moving lights as close as you want - as long as there is no hot spot. I don't have movers, its a 7'x6'...I only use 7x4.5 right now for the lights..

your plants looks small and stressed, leave it 2' high and go from there the plant should catch up to the light faster than you'd want it to move down..if that makes sense..
 
Y

YwouldntI

makes good sense rather then risk more stress just let'em catch up here goes a pic is this good?








thanks vino always appreciated

they are looking nice, how high up is the light? the big ones look really big, how big are the pots? sorry im baked and in a rush :p
 
Y

YwouldntI

the bigger lookin ones are on top of pots (on the right?) the pots are just a couple quarts they would be bigger but i accidently stressed them by feeding them too much too fast now all is back poppin again they are growing daily.they are about double the size now the entire canopy is just about even,and ready for a transplant soon,im trying to transplant them all at the same time if i can hold off that long.peace.oh yeah vino the light is about 1 1/2 ft. away thanx for stoppin by and the kind words bro

dude if it wre me and if you can get away with itdrop that light down to about 8-10 inches if its not too hot.... and when are you going to tie them back up? looking good tho bro.. the site has been glitchie lately oh well laters

Mr.P
 
Y

YwouldntI

wassup mr. p,well stitch had told me to keep the light at that height for now, i alrede tied them back down aswell as a couple that i let get tall from group 2 they look even better! ill be droppin the light soon but it really aint too high from the canopy now since they have grown alot since the last pics.peace homie

sure just try and remember the closer the light when lsting you will get more undergrowth and more bud later... also if you want to kno how close you can get htem a good trick is to put ur hand at canopy lvl and drop light till it gets warm but not uncomfortable and your plants will thank you for it....

Mr.p

ok tryin that tonight thanx mr.p ill be stoppin by ur thread.peace

But keep in mind the foot print your lights need to cover. The lower you move the light the more concentrated your foot print is.
 
Y

YwouldntI

The picture debacle of 07! A bird told me it will be fixed by next week...

Babes look nice...room looks clean. Nice setup YwouldntI. Are you still planning on running 9K horizontal or are you going for less Watts on movers?

Good luck bro,
Germ
