how high can you raise the lights? if you have over the double the height left to be able to raise your lights you should be fine. Worst comes to worst you can always supercrop, or worst case monstercrop, the tall branches to keep em shorter.

I can probably raise them approx 1ft hiigher..- STELTHY:leaf:

oh wow, yeah you may want to look into supercropping then. little stem pinching goes a long way and won't hurt anything, just slows down the stretch a bit. There's also a chance she'll just stop when she gets to close to the light but just have to watch it.

Ill keep my wits about mme then... Yeah its gonna be interesting... Ill say nothing at this point about what i am hoping for..I dont wanna Jinx it lol.. alll ill say is I hope that canopy looks beautiful lol.. - STELTHY :leaf:
 
I could be wrong but I think in about two weeks, regardless of defol, you are gonna have your hands full with that beauty in a 3x3!

Looks fantastic!

My guess is 1.5x stretch

So how many watts will you have on the canopy with that added phantom?
Click to expand...

Ok, well, let me see... once the 4th cob and phantomXL arrive and are installed and the 3x 30w CFLs have been removed.. I will be left with. :-

4x 54w 3500k Optic1 cobs
1x 104w 3500k dimmable Optic1 Phantom XL
1x 36w Kingbo 660 nm lamp
1x Low wattage green led 6w to 20w unknown wattage
1x 35w UVbBP
1X 30w UVA/B T8

Ill be running just the 4x cobs and the phantom to begin with... So thats 320w

and then I need to further access the plant before deciding which extreme colors to apply and how long for....

I also have 4x 26w Secret Jardin 26w Tled Bloom bars oround the canopy and are dialled into th 12/12 cycle...added to the 320w that figure becomes 426w...

Then i will scrap the lower 4x30w 2700k cfls and 2x 2000k led bulbs ...and replace with up to a 60w 2000k to 3000k LED Floodlight also dialled in to the 12 hr cycle.. So that 426w will then become to aprox 486w.... - STELTHY :leaf:

...and a max. of 607w (for all top middle and lower tent lighting..) ... But that figure is subjective since the Phantom is dimmable and the UV lights arent full cycle 12/12 applient. So id say between 500w and 600w ...lets say 550w taking the av. Medium... - STELTHY:leaf:

Nice! Definitely gonna be rocking it in there. Might actually easily have enough light for a 4x4 there. Will be interesting to see how high it'll go. If I push past 330w on my 2 qb's I start getting light stress at the tops so I've just been leaving it at that for now.

Instead of upto a 60w flood light ..i went for 2x 15w 3000k security led floodlights.. a meer 1200lm each... But thats effectively 2400lm cos they will be paralell and almost facing each other.. They are nice and small and hopefully if not a direct replacement for the clusters of CFLs.. Then hopefully a better output than the CFLs too.. ...plus for 2 of them it only cost me 27$ / £16 - STELTHY :leaf:

So, that'll make it 520w aprox. for the entire rig - STELTHY:leaf:


EDIT !!! I just bought a 36w UVA 365nm to 370nm LED lamp similar to the Kingbro 660nm lamp I already have.. That takes me back up to 556w..but I may loose the UVbBP 35w which will put the rig down to 521w ... Lol... - STELTHY :leaf:

Cheers dude, ..i did a crazy trim right before switchin to 12 12.. am gonna wait until the first hair cluster flower tops appear and i will remove 60% of the fan leaves, and remove any weathered foliage etc...

Then just let her do her thing... The airflow is good at the moment.. Intake is a 5 inch passive Odor Sok and exhaust is a 4 inch inline systemair fan pulling throgh a 4 inch Rhino Pro filter.. I have a 7 inch fan up to and a 9 inch fan at the bottom ..

I am still adding humidity at the moment and will continue to give her 6hrs extra humidity per 12hr day until the flower clusters begin to show.. Then i will be using a dehumidifier intermitently..

And to keep the res cool ..ive placed the 2nd and 3rd air pumps outside and run the airlines inside along with the 1st thats in the tent... Temps peak at 31oC at the moment in the tent but res hovers between 12 and 14oC most of the time.. Will be interesting to see how temps change when i lose CFLs and replace with more LED lamps !? ..i have 5 or 6 additional lamps to add to my rig coming soon !! Cant wait

No mildew yet ..its easy to check to with the UVA-bp I have in there ;)

Oh and i counted 324 tops all in all... Its gonna be interesting !!... Stay tuned - STELTHY :leaf:
