question is does tacoing cause permanent damage?

Depends on how many you eat. If you eat too many it could lead to obesity.

Mmmmm... Tacos...

Go to 24 -30 inches...when they recover, slowly drop down to 18 for the finishing.
I use to run the same years ago.

The exact reason I dropped the 2x 600 cool hoods for leds...environmental control.
Hps grows dank no doubt, but controlling temps became an issue Spring, Summer and Fall.
No problem until deep Summer now.

I don't miss the yellow light either, lol. Switched back to LED after using HPS for a few years.

I AGREE with the temp control i have an actual sort of room i grow in so i can air it out and stuff but yeah in a tent i dont see how a person keeps the temp down in the summer without a big electric bill and as far as the yello lights i sleep with my room door open next to my bed and it dont bother me at all

Do these tacoing plants still smell like meatballs? If so you have some serious gourmet shit going on and I wouldn't change a thing.

It looks like your lights are a bit close too. With 2x600 and an even canopy you can cover 4x8 foot area. I would spread them out alittle bit as well as raising
