Thanks guys.

I think the reflector is the problem. I don't want to raise my light much because I want the most intensity I can get.

I guess I will have to raise it a bit, or get rid of 2-3 plants...... what a bummer since they're already 1 week into flower. Maybe I'll keep 'em. They'll still grow, but not as much as they should've.
lampost Reviewed by lampost on . 1000W not covering 4'x5' area! So there's this 1000W HPS over a 4' x 5' area and it doesn't seem to be covering the plants in the corners very well... anyone else have experience with this? It's got an EasyCool 6" reflector... check it: Hi-Tech Garden Supply Also, the light is currently only like 15-18" over the tops (12" for the crazy stretcher). Should it be raised to 24" or so to get greater coverage? I was under the impression a 1000W would cover a 5' x 5' easily. Rating: 5
