Currently I have a closet grow 3x3 on the side that I've been tinkering with as a sort of "test bench" for pheno hunts to clone and make stable mothers so I can leave my larger areas as a clone only auto system. The issues ive been running into is heat stress and height+size restrictions. I'm using a cheap mars hydro tsw2000 i had left over that has mediocre coverage and spectrum.
My question is should I upgrade to an HLG 550 made for a larger 4x4? originally wanted to get a growers choice roi e420 so they can be 6" from the light with out burning but it wont fit the tent. My plan was to just dim the light so the girls have better coverage, spectrum, and space so they don't grow into the lights as much and go over 1000ppfd.
The general settup I stick with is 40/10/50 perlite, soil, earthworm castings, in fabric pots auto fed at 6.5ph 600 ppm on 2 layers of trellis nets, 80F at topsites (75F room) 50-60%RH with 1000ppfd and 700 co2 ppm for all areas
Any advice on pumping out even a slightly better quality yield would be apricated.
