I have not found the burn limit - but a week ago I flipped the switch to veg and bloom and adjusted the height. I burnt my tomatoes bad with that light at 12 inches so I’ve been super cautious. The lights on the sides I keep lower.

I plan to drop the light 6 inches tomorrow - I figure if they haven’t burnt after a week, I can get more aggressive.

once she stops streching you can lower the light to the max limit soo you get the max from it. at least i had to do that with mine only 60W and got 90gram

Top single plant was vegged for about approx 10 weeks to weave the screen etc.


Second pic I started them off under 200w cfl for a good few weeks while plant in the top pic was being flowered. Honest answer not even sure on veg time. Lol. Maybe 3 months but only 1month - 6 weeks under the larger 300w LED but I do a lot of training and pruning to shape etc.

ive also done a lot of training. 90 degree clips all over the big one. Tied the main stem down sideways on the little one, topped the big one 3 times, little one once and now doing a ton of weaving.

i use that same analogy but only when i buy grow equipment.

The only time I buy equipment now is due to failure.

i use

300w LED (not even 1 year old yet)
6” fan
6” filter
Smart temp fan controller
2x circulation fans
80w tubular heater
DIY auto irrigation and a catch pan.

May next plan is a full frame for the scrog to incorporate the drip tray and allow more floor space for a larger catch pan so I don’t have to empty runoff everyday lol.

if you are making the scrog part of the pot that holds the plant. it will help a lot if you put wells under it sooner or later moving or just rotating it will be painless costs you maybe 2$ more

The lower shelf is for the drip tray to sit on so that it’s higher up to save my back when training


Black drip tray for plants.
Blue pots
Green plants
Red new drip pan to catch runoff.

as you can see the plan is to incorporate the scrog to its own full floor standing frame but to section the frame to allow my Garland tray to sit on the first level with the plants on it.

then as that’s raised it’s will allow my bulkhead to drain to the new catch pan.

How its going growers & smokers, ima add on to this and a few replying here i know off from previous posts.

i’m at some what of crossroads so ideas advice is all welcome.

i’m an organic grower currently have 2 x purple bud which is supposedly crossed with a cali strain, 2 x white widow. These plants was grew out next to some autos and i had nothing but issues with, thats done and gone and these was brought back from looking pretty poorly, in a living soil with amendments added,

i’ve done both LST aswell as some topping and bending, the plants in pictures are due to be repotted and i was thinking 45 litres pots, with net thrown in to manage canopy all in a 4 x 4 now i suspect, and you might also that may be a little too much, think i’m looking at a 3 month 2 week veg,can take some weeks off for when they was poorly and likely not growing much.
Is 45 litres too much ?
Is it better to veg maybe just the 2 in the 4x4 ?
Heres the thing i have a full room to play with its 2.1 metres by 3.8 metres, my kit consits of two digital ballasts that switch between 250watt to mega lumem 640watts got all bulbs for each, i also have a hgl 350 r i’m currently running the 250watt digi ballast and the 350r at 50%.
I was planning on switching to the 400watt bulb and knocking the 350r to 100% for flower, be repotting this coming weel and also looking to flip.

i did wonder if it was better to get out the tent, open room up and maybe bigger pots then use the 4x4 as veg tent.
Like i said i’m at a cross roads and have too many ideas/options.

i’ve added a pic of each plant, plentyof tops on the 3 larger plants and as expected 2 weeks of strentgh to come so it could get pretyy crowed in there plus plenty of lumens from both the 350r and didgi ballast

feel free to share any opinions/ideas/suggestions

much appreciated and happy grow
