yea, if the plant is to close to the bulb it will bleach em, we can agree on that :) but what would be the point of filling the ceiling with lights and keeping the plants 5 feet away? You should always try to be efficient especially with lights. you want to make use of lumen intensity (not...

actually there is a such thing as to much light. On my show I have full control over environment, which means I can practically put a 1000 watt 2-3" from the tops of plants with no temp problems. but what happens is called light bleaching. the bud's green is all bleached out and becomes white...

Hello all. I had a question and not sure where to post it but figured here is as good as any i suppose. I am building a sealed room with 2 1k lights and wanted to mount a camera inside so i can turn on a tv and see that all is well without entering. I like to look at my plants alot :hump...

Hey, so i need advice from an electrician. I just bought a JBJ 1HP Chiller (208/230V-1PH-60Hz). and can't figure out how to hook it up. i was told i could plug it into 240V plug. also, no one said it wouldn't have a plug on the end lol. :? but am confused, im hoping i just need to connect the...

I had a question regarding the Sea of Green method. I currently average bout an oz per plant spaced max 7 inches apart (hydro). My veg time is basically nonexistant. my question is what if you wanted the plant number of SOG but the weight of other methods(per plant i mean)? i mean plants 7"...

hey everyone. I was in my room today (i havnt moved my clones in yet i was going to tomorrow morning!!) and while i was in there checking to insure my nutrient solution was stable. The light was on, I was also making sure i have the temps under control. Everything was going great actually but...

Thnx guys. So here is what I'm thinking. I think I want to try SCROG under the 54W T5. those are almost 4 feet long, so I can have atleast a minimum of 3 scrog growing under them, almost 4 but i dont think ill push that. all i know is that i would preffer not to do soil. and I want to have...

Babygro haha know what? vertical is up-down huh? you're the first to catch that. my idea is to keep everything as "flat" as possible. sorry for the confusion. Tied down to grow perpendicular to the lights. Your post on light and lumens is great. The diminishing intensity of light is the exact...

Moon Shadow haha yes, i wanna have lotsa fun! lol. when I was thinking about this... changing the orientation of the lights never even crossed my mind. I like it! kudos to you. i think room can be made for it. but in my mind (if successful) picture plants growing vertical under lights on shelves...

Hey everyone. I have an idea and wanted to throw it by people who are more experienced and ‘in-the-know’ then I am. I recently started researching High Output T5 Fluorescents. Lets say you have two 4 foot fluorescent lights giving roughly 5,000 lumens ea. = 10,000 lumens total...
