  1. Hey there folks,
    just hit the one month flowering mark

    Try to get the full story here in highlights:
    5x5 gorilla tent shorty
    two 315w cmh
    co2 at 1500ppm
    ac cooled and lights are air coooled as well
    dehumidifier in there as well
    4 trim buddies fans

    So first timer here and the switch to flower crushed me.. they jumped 3x in height to the point my lights were only a few inches away so I added co2 to help I keep tempos at 84-85 and humidity in the 45% range and a monitoring system for it.
    I then ordered an extension kit for the tent which now stands about 8 ft and has nearly 18 inches between them and the lights but i notice the sides are not getting the light they need as they are too tall for the two center lights to really get in there.

    So I was thinking should I add two led lights on each side?
    Can they hang with only 5 inches between them and the lights or am i SOL?
    thanks for the help

  2. yes you can and it will increase yield.!
    the 5x5 needs more light, you are at 630w in 25 square feet, that is only 25 wpsf.
    you need four 315w CMH lights to fill up the 5x5 in flower.!!
