Can Cannabis be touching the reflector glass..

Phytium hater · May 23, 2015

Hi, my plants grow out of control I can't get anywhere much near to them, only by using a stick or the ones
in arms lenght I can supercrop by hand...so the plants are touching the glass of my 600w hps lights.
Every light has its own fan to blow air against the glass...ok its not super chill but not really too much hot..
yep some of the plants leaves have dryed/burned from been too close, but some hasn't and the bud is right there
the distance from the actual light inside the reflector is around 20 cm....
So my question :Will the bud/plants produce crap potency flower because of this or could it just become ok/good..

Hard to tell until harvest. My guess is the majority of the bud touching the glass won't be as good, but still smokeable and enjoyable. Ive had top bud that was a little burnt from touching the direct bulb, no glass, and it did the job.

Yep..will see..I had to get also T5's for the side since there where no light because of too tall plant blockage...
realizing that even them lifting the temps a bit..and the probe shows humidity at plants 85 % !!!...did get the dehumidifiers but can't
really use them ether because they create more heat....I am a bit out of answers

Do you have an ac or exhaust fan? Theres really no way to get around the heat without

Tie the plants away from the light. Why risk burning your tops or setting it on fire?
For a couple mins work whats the dilemna?

Ive had buds be a few inches from the glass on air cooled 1000w lights and they were fine, no burn or light bleaching. I see people saying they get light bleaching from having 600s 18" away and I just don't know how its happening. Ive had 1000s 6" with no bleaching, I think there is other factors contributing to the bleaching.

Hi, I would have but trust me there is no way in to that jungle its tight its netted and only one side of entry the other sides are gainst walls, and there is no where to pull them the tent is absolutely packed...yeah if there would be room and if I could reach them for shure
but now I had to stick to some ongoing supercropping...and boing they are up again..now I even have to try supercropping with a stick.
The tents are 2 meters high plants are 180 cm. and the Sunsystem Irrigators are at the top level ,can't be lifted any higher...
Its Big Buds...and I should have let them veg only 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks...

Yep exhaust of course...on the lower setting it has 2 speeds (Td-Silent 350) can't get to it and start opening panels and change wiring..(thats the way its done, no switch for speeds + the faster speed wouldn't probably be that fast any how,,but yeah every little helps)..
