I've been running my lights up by the ceiling in my rooms, approx 8 feet from the canopy for the last 3 cycles or so. I kept wondering why my popcorn was so fluffy, and my yeild was so horrible compared to how it all looked on the plants, and Dr Longbottom ended up sharing some gems of info with me about how retarded it is to keep your lights so far away from your canopy...

So this is my first grow with my lights so close to my plants, and so far the growth is GREAT! With any luck this'll be my first really successsful grow, the one that sets me ahead where I should be...

Here we are today, 10 days after I put the rooted clones into the coco.

Well I saw a bunch of pics and videos when I was getting started up growing of all these warehouse setups with like 20kw of light in batwings, and they all kept all their lights way up by the ceiling, so I assumed that was the thing to do. Of course I understand now that with that much light there's all these different rules that apply like penetration angles and stuff...

Oh well, live and learn.

I'll figger out the pics right now

Yeah henn, I was wrong, just needed to hear it from someone I knew better than you I guess. I'm sorry bro, I hope we can move past it and it won't affect our relations in the future :D

I'll put some pics of the moms I'm flowering under another light up soon.

where those moms at:watchplant:

cant wait



ok to cap off all this "dicking" around...uhh I dont think im a dick when a grow moderator dosen't read other forums(grasscity.com, cannabis.com, rollitup.com, icmag.com just to name a few) to get his information correct. I would think after spending well over $200 on a single lighting unit that one would 'search' around for the info on how high to place it to get an even canopy..hell even a quick question to ol' Hennessy wouldnt hurt :p

well that was that this is now. :) lets see a bushy growroom and some nice FMB afterwards :bongin:

oh, i see, so now you're explaining why you were a "dick". and kaneda is a chat room moderator, so who is this grow room moderator thats supposed to read stuff on other forums? it's o.k., no need to reply. you should have stopped after- uhh, i don't think....
