[Update: Day 22 of flower (since flip)]:
Spent like 2h reconfiguring and gerryrigging my set-up to include the second Photon 180 - 3500K 80CRI. The left side is the 90, the right side is the 80. The tallest tops on my flowers are only 25cm(10in) from the light so I may raise it a bit more tomorrow after switching out the cables for daisy chains. However, the lower tops have a nuanced stratification between 46-56cm (18-22in) from the light.
Some considerations with the addition of the second light is that as I am already seeing some calcium deficiency spots (or what appear to be anyway, dead necrotic spots on some leaves), the plants will certainly need a boost of Cal to complete their cycle. Nutrient demand in general may increase. I think my CalPhos solution made from bone meal and apple cider vinegar should be done soon and my homemade bloom fertilizer is brewing (my local hydro shop is waiting on an order of CalMag and it's not easily available to me but would prefer not to even buy stuff like that).
I'm still working with some of the bottled BioBizz products. My last soil drench feeding included these products along with molasses, silica powder, horsetail tea and 2tsp of Epsom salt. The following days showed some progression of burnt tips on leaves which leads me to believe that the Epsom salt is to blame and should be discontinued. The molasses should probably account for any and all magnesium the girls are requiring.
Current RH is 38%
Current temp is 82°F
The temps are another consideration. Will have to readjust what I keep my AC at. Would about 80-82° be ideal during the lights on? Everything I've read says max should be about 79°.
