I am not all that great at figureing out things in photos but it looks pretty good. I like that you have plenty of light for one plant. So many people pack them in and get about the same yield with a lot more triming. I am guilty of that myself. I am not much of a fan of the old LEDs I recently replaced my HPS/MH with CMH vert bare bulbs and like the results so far and I have been working on some COB Leds (I build my own lights and it really is not that hard). I have a much larger space so I will run both COB & CMH. I have three crappy 300 watt LEDs that I bought last year on Amazon and now know you get what you pay for so if you do decide to upgrade, research a lot! There are some amazing growers here that build their own COB systems some even sell them, the cool thing is they all are real helpful I have emailed and PMed a few of them. If I had that set up of yours I would be getting ready to replant in a 5 gal pot and dreaming of all the bud I was going to get. Good luck

LOL, I'm sprouting a few more seeds now so the space will be filled. Thanks for the info. I have electronics background so i should be able to make up the best light set. I would think.

How big is your tent? I like what you've got going here. Kinda wish I could get my upgrades now.

I've got this puny 36x36x78cm box to work with. It's been fun. But my plant gave me no challenge in height. Might be from all the blue light throughout the grow. But anyways. Best of luck.

Like face the lights long way.? What would turning them that way help? More lighting per area? Yeah im going to get a little desk fan tomm.
Yeah, spread the light out. I guess you dont have to turn them, but put one in front of the other and space them a little. It will give you better coverage and easier access.

No offense but until you hit the 400watt+ range hps lamps are pretty damn inefficient. They will get you along fine for a few grows, but a 400watt would penetrate much deeper and provide more lumens for a similar wattage of the two 150s.
Im new to the led scene but Vero just came out with their gen 7 cob light. I'm replacing my 400 watt hps with 4 of these little blazers.
