[kingcanabis]

[lordsoth666]

plants can touch floros, no problem, as long as they don't burn, you get good delivery of light to the plant that way.

for example: http://weedfarmer.com/growing_marijuana_with_fluoresce.htm

this guy has them verry close, probably touching the plant and great floro results!

[GreenGuitar]

Should be fine then. Just keep an eye on it.

-Take it eezy-

[notanovice]

if the buds are actually in contact with the floros, they will suffer burns, not from the heat, but from the light

[kingcanabis]

look's good so far thk's for the tip's

Depends on the wattage of the bulbs still sometimes.

I have seen plants that get to much light.. they will turn white on top.. much different than a burn.. they can recover from "to much light" very easily... this can happen outdoors at high elevations... or if you are running a bunch of hps real close to one another... ie 3000watts in 4x6 area...

but I have not seen burns or over lighting from flor's.... not even when the lights are sitting right on top of clones... seems fine...

[kingcanabis]

ill get a pic or two coming soon there growing like weed's lol

[notanovice]

let the plants touch the floros, even a 40 watt floro will so called , burn, the plant. but hey, it`s only been MY experience of MY plants touching MY floros.
which are only 40 watt, and they burn if it`s touching plant material.
and to garden knowm, he said the buds were on the lights

[heartsurgerysurviver]

Notanovice, you are correct, I bet you never get sick of hearing that , huh.
I'd listen to your advice over just about everyone elses here, experience is the best teacher and your right up at the top on my list, thanks for all your help and tips. even after numerous grows , i'm still learning things, you da man. lol
happy gardening and fishing

peace
heart

thk.s not'a'novice im trying to keep them off the light's but there growing so good and im out of room.ive trained and trained an now im out of track...lol bud's as big as my forarm????????? life is good ......peace and pot....the king

[llamaman666]

Plants wont get light burn untill they are receiving over 10 thousand lumens, and those should be doing that rate, the link lordsoth gave was also a thread in the Hall of Fame and Overgrow, and the leaves were constantly touching the bulbs, so I wouldnt worry about it

[lordsoth666]

If I was you I would listen to notanovice before I would listen to me, his advice comes from far more experience than mine. However my plants are touching some floros right now, and have been for the past few days. No burn, or discoloration, just pretty green... But I only use floros in veg, so obviously I have no personal experience with Buds touching the tubes.

Best of luck!

I am always glad to hear such a wonderful successful grow story

[kingcanabis]

it's ben 4day's and all is great no burn but i have no more room can i cut some of the watre leaf's off to let more light to the bud's and are there scerten one's to cut an not to cut? thk for all your help im more of a out side grower you know let god do his thing........the king

[adh endo]

leaves are important because they absorb the light and co2 and stuff to make the buds grow big.

try leave any healthy leaves on unless there is a good reason to cut em.

maybe rotate the plants a bit or move the lights slightly if you can, the sun goes around and moves its light.
that would be better than cutting leaves to let light thru..

i have no experience with weed, only other plants, but thats what id assume..

[lordsoth666]

I would try to tie the leaves down or to the side or whatever with hemp string, or gardening wire, I use the wire to tie my tops apart and it works well.

Hope that helps you out man...
