Hello everyone,
i've been thinking about growing for a long time now, and reading up on it and feeling more and more into it. The day has come and i have mostly everything, maybe i will get a dehumitizer. I ended up with the 84X2 Pro Penetrator for my Secret Jardin DRII 2x2 tent. I have read good things about the light but practice will reveal the truth about it. I have ordered DNA Genetics' LA Confidential and Barney Farms' LSD seeds. I am ready to start germination this week, but before i do i would like to put up a few questions i come up with. In this forum about the light and coverage area. Anyone have any experience with Hydrogrow 84X Pro? Basically i have 4 11l pots approx 3 gallon pots and i would like to have 2 LSDs and 2 LA Confidential seeds started in them. I read some grow journals about different lights, there are none on Hydrogrow yet, or not the 84X Pro at least... and basically some say they put the lights as close as 6" from canopy when in flowering, i am afraid this light would be too small for 2x2 area if i can put it 6" close. Also this light is said to be pretty strong so 6" might bleach the plants. I would be curious if the light seems to cooperate with my plan? Thus should i grow in 4 pots? or should i limit my grow to 2 or 1 pot? What do you think about distance from canopy? Thanks in advance, sorry if my questions are too noob. :confused:

2x2 is ok for 4 plants if you dont veg them. With your light you want to LST (low stress training) them to maximize the light on your canopy. Start with the light at 24+'' on the seedlings and let them grow to it or lower it depending on the stretch. good luck

EDIT you will have to add CFLs if you want to do 4 plants, your light on its own is not going to be quite enough.

sup snoop. mind a lil update on your experience? about to start my grow with the same light in a 1.5' x 2.5' closet. will be doing either in 3L or 6L airpots for the full stretch, how many plants will flower comfortably under the light footprint?

also my 84X2 led comes with the knob setting for seedlings, veg and flower, do you reckon i could start 6" away from the very start?
