Have you ever seen how bright a 100w cob is? 1000 Umol @ 2' way. Any branches getting past that top-trellis are quickly getting into 1200-1400. Some won't make it though, I think. Seems like a few of these girls won't have much stretch. Especially w/ the branches spread so wide under the bottom-trellis on some plants, which is 11" away from the top one.
So, you're right, some of them are a bit far but still getting 700-800.
One thing to remember is the drop is not that steep/harsh. These lights maintain pretty high #'s as you go down.

So these light run each cob at 100W? Seems a bit wasteful but hey I'm sure there not bad. bit they really should be aiming for efficiency. Even running at 75% would be something.

That PPFD wasn't measured that I've seen, mind posting some spot checks at canopy level?

Keep in mind I have a 850W DIY light so of corse I've seen hoe bright these are.

Bro, stop trying to heckle @Hybridway and take this brief intermission to go sweep your grow room floor while his plants fill in the trellis :hump:

At first I did think it was to high. Can't really lower & raise them during the grow yet based on the room configuration so I had to pick a height n run it.
Tried to predict where the plants stretch would end & matched that w/ the desired par #'s.
Wasn't easy. I'd say I should've dropped 2 of the lights down 3" more but the rest are good based on the #'s.

How about staggering them to better cover the canopy

My floor does need to be swept, but I'm not wrong lol. Time will tell how the lights do with a 3 month veg compared to DIY with a 1 month. I'm not hating just trying to inform, he has a light meter so he knows I check daily and adjust for the best PPFD as needed.

Compare? There's so much you don't understand it would take you a solid week of reading to catch up just to have the slightest clue about anything pertaining to my grow. You should start around the middle of my last thread to better understand if you want to understand.
If not, maybe you should ask questions rather then making assumptions.

It's a plant, not theoretical particle physics, light to canopy, environment, skill, and nutes are all that really matter. Assuming I don't understand basics is kinda ignorant as you are well aware I do know them.

Anyways I look forward to your results, I'll just leark as asking for canopy PPFD was apparently to far lol.
:hump:

Trying to not assume anything. We all know what that does.
You don't have to lurk. We cool! Participate.
I've mentioned the readings a few times earlier & talked about how I'd like to lower n raise the lights accordingly but just can't yet do to the scrog. The PPFD from edge to edge of the top-trellis is around 900. It's 1000ish center & 900 between the lights. Edges are 750ish. That's 2' away w/o lenses. I'll be trying to take care of that for next time & feel like I should've lowered them 3" for the full term. You do make a good point there to get optimal light to the plants the whole time. Wish I could. I'd like to have smaller plants & use the lenses someday. The difference is incredible by eye.
I think the plants your thinking of are my other ones. They sat in 6" Potts for almost 3 months. Wouldn't really call that a proper veg but they turned out pretty nice n filled in quick. These plants are are much older then those. These are like 5+ months old. The past few months were basically just sustaining life. You can see them being vegged under my Hydroponics Hut somewhere round the middle of my last thread. lol! They were ready for flower then.

You don't think that's a bit too high? Seems like those light could be brought down a foot or so at the same wattage to get more light to the canopy

Took your advice. Lowering them now. Thnx! That was bothering me too. Going for about 5" lower on some & 3" w/ others. I'll show you the par readings when I'm done. How's everything going w/ your side by side? That's cool that you're taking the time to do that on a thread. It's not easy splitting up sections like that. I give you major credit.

Its going well just flipped them so 2 months till harvest roughly if all goes well. It should be a good grow over all. Not having any issues really at the moment.

Nice! I'll stop by n peep the action. Yeah, you were definitely right about lowering them. I was just nervous they'd catch a mean stretch but when the branches are bent under the trellis like they are the only thing stretching up is bud sites not branches. 1/2 the area probably won't even make it to the top-trellis. The other 1/2 is though. Good call. Didn't mean to get on you or be a dick. My bad.

Its all good, I just wanted to help is all
 
Hey guys I'm not sure BC being color blind maker it hard to see different shades of red and green but anyways I think I have potassium deficiency in one of my plants could you guys help to narrow down what it is im pretty sure its potassium BC it just started doing it after stretch where plant uses alto potassium. Oh and it progress where there's more light intensity
