Nice! My 3 are rocking out well. I think I need to raise the lights to get some stretch So I can take clones. Maybe a couple more weeks and I'll have them in the flower tent. I just wanted a couple of cuts if each before I transferred them.What a difference 2 weeks make, gotta love BB seeds.
@Figgy, these are the Sam's Club shop lights.

Also, I saw those lights at Wallyworld for $43. Just another option for those without a Sams.

@oldman60 - those plants look amazing. I want to get some of those lights!
I saw a cool trick from a grower that was using clear cups. He would put the clear cups in black cups. Then he could shield the roots from the light and still slide out the clear cups when he wanted to look at the roots.
Yesterday was 74 degrees and today it is 55! I am leaving the clones inside today.
Cheers,
Mo

Thanks Mo, they are a prime example of hybrid vigor.
I've been using clear cups for a while now with no bad results maybe just dumb luck.

Ive seen roots exposed directly under HPS turn green and harden off but those are under hps, my starts go in a gallon jug cut in half, i used to tape it but doesnt matter if i do or not i get the same result, roots everywhere.Thanks Mo, they are a prime example of hybrid vigor.

Food for thought but these would be inexpensive supplemental.

Same output as a 2ft 4 bulb t5 but more flexibility where you put them, not quite as well directed toward one direction as a shop light though. My 4x4 will have 200w of supplemental lighting if im including the uvb bulbs and cfls ill have in their when the stretch is done.
About 4" is all you need but with that many plants they are about 8" for light spread.
There is no determinable heat with these units plants can grow right into them with no burn
even small fluro's give off heat and plants shouldn't touch them.

thanks for the help @oldman60 , i was wondering how close i could get babies to them hahaAbout 4" is all you need but with that many plants they are about 8" for light spread.

i have a bunch of lil ones i might put under those and keep my teens under the t5
trying to upsize but not add to the electric bill, these days bills are adding up but i think i got it covered finally

no comparison. Those are florescence and the other are 4' led shop lights and floros put out a lot more heat.
according to their online site you can buy from Sam's without a card and pay 10% more...they are currently $35.98.

How high up from the plants is everyone running their 600 at? Wondering if i can raise mine a little for more coverage and not decrease the intensity at the tops too much. I'm at about 18-20 inches and i have a taller stavita that is about 10 inches from the light.
I keep mine about 22-24" and I still get bleaching once in a while a lot depends on the bulb
and the attributes of your reflector.

I'm around 20". I recently got a double ended 1000w hps and was warned that the light needed lots of room from the plants to prevent burning.....wound up with small fluffy buds. The light is about 20-24" above the nearest buds without burning. I like using the back of the hand heat test. If it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for the plants, so raise it till it quits.
