    What yields more? Penetration vs Coverage

    If I have the ceiling height than is it better for yields to get a powerful HPS or COB led, or Blackdog type LED and penetrate deep into the canopy and grow taller plants or still go wide with the QB or bar style lights and grow wider but shallower plants??? (aka scrog, lollipopping, etc.) Thanks!

    Plant leaf trim?

    Young plant seems all over the place, preventing canopy penetration. Should I trim any leaves to open it up? Under 400w HPS w/ supplemental lights.

Og Kush, I guess, is responding well, but the SD is very bushy and has a lot of branches. Should I cut of all the big fan leaves and most little growth tips, to uncover the 8 main ones...

    LED - 1w Diodes vs 3w/5w Penetration Distance Above Canopy?

    I have been interested in this question I've been wondering for a while and I feel the need to post this and ask for opinions, but I have a 1000w LED light running with 200-1W diodes. (On a side note, I assume that means I'm really running around a true value of 200W). Even though there is no...

    CMH Effective Distance?

    For my next grow, I plan on going with Northern Lights #5 x Haze. From what I understand, the plant can stretch quite a bit with a large main cola. My grow light is a 315W CMH. I keep it approximately 18 inches away from the canopy. Does anyone happen to know what distance my light would be...

    Light distance at professional facilities

    Hey people, I have done a ton of reading and general research when it comes to all aspects of indoor growing and I'm happy with most of my knowledge and beliefs but I have recently come across a contradiction. Here it is, I have always believed that it's best to keep your lights (MH and/or HPS)...
