KEEP the LIGHT CLOSE

[newgroweroldsmoker]

Then you don't do it. Thatâ??s all, simple.

Not every post or topic is meant for the new grower or someone on a tight budget. It's not cheep to grow quality pot. It takes money, time and experience. Threads like this are meant to provide everyone with more experience and hopefully learn from others.

Yes the fan helps but with the higher wattage bulbs that is not the best option. If you can't do it right then do something else. Use a lower wattage light that's all.

The most import point of this thread I think is "Monitor the temperature at the top of the canopy" That will tell you how close you can get your lights no matter how many watts you use.

TRUE, that's why i am using 2x400 watt HPS and i'm planning to get a third one ;-)

If you are going to invest the time, money, effort, and risk into growing YOU should definitley keep your HID lights as close to the tops of your plants as possible. This means, you will need adequate airflow. Exhaust lights and keep oscilating fan between the tops of the plants and the bulbs. I have been visiting a few garden in Northern California latley and the growers have their lights 16-24 Rating: 5
