Hey everyone I haven't given any updates on my 3x3ft 350w SIL tent so I thought I'd share. I have decided to throw in 3 retired mothers transplanted from solo cups into small bottom fed hempy style buckets of coco coir using a few inches of hydroton in the bottom. The 3 smaller girls up front are in little 5x5ish sized pots being bottom fed in a window planter. All my own bred genetics of 10-11+ week sativa leaning ladies performing the test on day 10 of flower. The light is 18" from the top of the canopy and everytime I open this experimental tent I get a shit eating grin on my face HAHA

you using ALL the bulbs in veg at 18"?
before someone asks
39W/sq ft. 6" spacing.
SILs can add easily

My 2x2 tent is my flower area so I've put in 4K HLG65 and 2.7K ACKE panels for 85watts veg. I added two SILs for +30 watts of 2.7K for flowering. My other boxes are mixed SILs, the germinate box is 16w, and a veg box is 46-75 watts. Pic is of the tent with vegging The White On the left and Remedy CBD on the right @ 85watts.

I used all (15) of the 5k bulbs and a few 2700k here and there for veg, even less in the beginning. You could probably use them all during veg but it really wouldn't be necessary, the watt per sq ft I currently have is in some peoples opinion overkill for even flower. So far I'm seeing results I can be happy with. Everything thing else I use is DE 630w CMH 3000kr and these little leds just make me laugh with how well they work.

Be curious to know if you're getting any bleaching? Lights seem too close and strong. Good luck. I just harvested a crop I grew at 25w per square foot and the bud is tastey and smells great, the high is good but I find the buds a lil lite 'n fluffy for my liking. Added more air circulation to the tent but I think I'm going to try something like Dense from Green Planet.

No bleaching , the light it s strong , but depends on ventilation mutch .

Great job on the supercropping.
But dude,
That last picture is a typical cola?
Those fan leaves jagged and turned up are telling you it's too bright, too hot.
Is this clone OGKush?
Day 37 should have something resembling sugar on the smaller fan leaves

Stupid question: Can I safely have my 6 in 1 light splitter connected to any old e27-socket/chord? I´m looking for a socket and chord to hang my light in but almost all of the chords I have laying around have something like "Max 40W" written on them. Is this something I need to pay attention to? I´m planning on using between 60 and 90 watts.

Too much light, nutrients, heat or anything and you'll get less frost.

they are such an intense source of light it is possible to light burn
