I have a solar battery charger that shows the intensity of light.

on a sunny day the meter reads about 2 hours of light to charge here in san francisco

when the solar charge is inches away from the (600 hps) bulb, it goes off the charts.

at about 2 feet its about the same as if it were outside on a pretty day.

i belive u can have too much light. i had 18 plants about 8 inches high just off a florecint light. then i put 2 300 watt lights and a 90 watt light and a few of them died. this all happened last night.i turned them off this mornin
any help full advice pls hook me up

The tops of my plants started turning white. I thaught it was just the strain (Nothern Lights)???? Like the buds had no pigment but a ton of tricomes. Is that from too much light? My last grow I had 4 lights over 12 plants in and areoflo2 system. I upped to 22 plants on this grow amd I'm using 9 UFO style LEDs in a 6X8 room. Too much?

Not too much , the light are to close, this is what causes the tips to become white (light bleaching) it happens with led's, Some people say that the white tips are swealing of the thc resin glands caused buy uv light emmited from the ufo's and the 660nm red spectrum that can boost thc production. But the solution is to keep your lights 12-16 inchs from plants.
