Hey mate,
I gotta say that I have learned more from this thread in the three times ive read it than from most mags Ive read, I do have a couple questions that Im hoping you could answer. First, just to verify your light cycle is 11/13 and that would be 11on/13off? also when you say you have your plants off the the right hand side do you just have them on a shelf? and if so do they get enough light off to the side like that? I have a 4x4 room myself with a 1000w hps bulb and Five widow plants that are in about the 4th week of flowering and about another 14 clones in my veg room that have developed roots. For you clones are you using a cloning dome and heating mat? Im thinking of just putting a shelf on the wall and eliminating any shade that it may create with foylon hanging off the front. What do you think? Thanks for any help you are giving and have already given.

yes 11/13 os 11 on /13 off, i have 2 600 watt lamps which are on easy rollers. i am able to lower one light and keep the other up for my taller plants. making sure that all my plants get enuff light . the bulbs i am using are growlux dual spectrum bulb the give out an amazing 95000 lumens each so i have little problem with light averaging near 75 watts per square foot. i also have the room lined with mylar which reflects up 95% of the light as well. what i would advise u to do instead of pulling up a shelf , just to set ur plants on sumthing untill they are tall enuff to place on the ground along with the rest . if u do put a shelf up make sure ur able to fold it down when ur clones get up . this way ur not wasting any grow space u might have. i like for the first 4 or 5 days in the flowering to keep the light as far away as possible to allow the plants to get used to the HID then i lower the 600 watts down to about 24 inches from the tops . i leave my fan also blowing up into the light which i think helps keep the tops from getting too warm. yeah and i do use a cloning dome but not a heat mat . i found with the heat mat alot of my clones started to get mold before they rooted . my propagater was a heated one and i ended up cutting the plug off it and using it like normal one.
i hope this helps ya mate ,

I am wondering if I put up an adjustable shelf that will go from 6 inches off the ground right up to the light if that would work and took mylar and hung it off the front of the shelf that would eliminate any shaded areas in the room and allow me to easily adjust the height of the plants according to my other plants in the room. Again man I really appreciate this thread its been more helpful than you know. I look forward to seeing more pics of ur progress and if at all possible do you have any pics showing where your growing the shorter clones? Thanks again
Mike
thx again man for ur kind words, i have posted pics of the clones within the thread if that helps.

Get a Moister Reader, n save u some u knowledge on how often to water. Cost about 5 -8 bucks on when to water.
I agree. ....worth it's weight in gold.Quote:
