I'm bringing my plants in today because they weren't getting enough light. Now I'm worried That I might give them too much light. I have the lights all the way up to the cieling. My lights are 1000 watt air cooled sunsystems. Is this too much?:confused: or can I bring them down closer? I'm not only doing my script, so I don't want to mess it up.:wall:

20 inches is just right for distance for that type of light so you can lower them down to about 20 inches from the top of the plant

Here's a few pics That I took this morning. I lowered my lights even more. The temp was at 69.5 when I went in this morning (I don't know why) Some are at 13 or 14 inches and some are at 6-7 inches. I put the short ones in the middle and lowered the middle light. I wish they would catch up. When they were outside they seemed to reach for the light more. Was out doors that much better? I could put my hand right on the glass of my hoods if I want. real warm but won't burn my hand. On one end I have a Elicent fan and at the other end a charcol filter. My air conditioner blows on the filter from across the room so that it cools the room and the air that blows threw my lights. I threw I pic of my dog in, just to trip on. she could run way higher up that tree but gets hurt when she comes down. What do you think would be the BEST ferts????

advance nutrients is the way to go , and if your plants are fluxuating in height its due to stretch , which indicates you light is to high from the tops of those plants and they are stretching towards the light so 20 inches from the top of the talles plant is good enough average is 18-24 inches for 1000w like me i use a 430w super argo and i keep it about 6 inches away from the top and its good to go
