400w hps with a few 23 an 20 w cfls added on every so often... There all on day 33 white widow has almost 30 tops already !!! Just lookin for some experience growers advice but all is welcome
They look good to me. Whatever you're doing is working I'd say. But you'll get more better advice and such from more experienced blades here. I'm just curious about you're light. Is it digital? Idk where to start because of rf issues I've read about.
I'd bring the 400w down to 12"-18" from the tops. Use a desk fan to blow heat off the bulb so it doesn't roast em. Better growth rates that way.
Looks good over all. One question though. Why is there a cardboard shelf looking thing between your light and the plants? Seems to me the only purpose that could possibly serve is to prevent heat from rising, which is something you dont want. I agree with thicken as well. I would move those reading lights out of the way and lower the grow light some more. The difference in that 400w being 12 inches away versus being 20 inches away is around 10k lumens, which means you could double the lighting you would be gaining from the four cfls and save your self around 100w of power.
Just an FYI...in case you aren't aware...but the White Widow is a nutrient lover. Would always measure the concentration of the nutrient solution with an EC pen to make sure it's not too hot, but they love the nutrients and can take stronger concentrations that some other strains. Lower the hps and put the CFL's below canopy. They're not really a good light for vegging plants so you're not getting THAT much help out of them, especially above the plants. Nice job overall. As long as you adjust your pH to the right range, don't mix up your nutrient solution too hot, give them the right amount of water and light, you'll finish with some really nice plants. Of the strains I grow, the WW is my favorite by far. TWW
Thanks everyone for the advice.. I'm going to lower my light today.... Just had a few cfl bc there still in vegg for another week... But I'm going to post a pic and update ever kouple days.. Just incase anything goes wrong and I need a little help... Really appreciate it guys thanks
