So I just upgraded my light to a sf1000 spiderfarmer. In a 2.5 ft. X 2.5 ft closet. Running an autoflower, its bout 35 days now. My question is I have it full blast at 15 inches from canopy. Should it be higher for a bigger light foot print? Or lower for more light intensity? 20210318_070511.jpg20210318_070554.jpg20210318_070639.jpg20210318_070814.jpg

Trained ready for action .....

IMO do a balancing act with dimmer control and height. Adjust height and power - relative to leaf response .
Pretty much if lateral to light then all good. I’m betting board efficiency goes up with dimmer at mid power levels ( 50-70watts ).
Samsung are mid power diodes.

Experiment .

Thank you! That makes sense, so adjust the height until fans, n mid leaves are horizontally aligned to the light above?? I really Baked, just asking if that what ya mean? I appreciate your response.

Are you planning more boards for that space ?
Noticed you will be rockin a few more plants.
Not really, because it is my little starter closet for my photo periods. But I got to growing auto during the cold winter months and I kinda caught an autoflower bug! :D and yeah i decided to try and grow 2 more auto's to completion before June 1st. 1 is a fastbuds rhino ryder the other a fastbuds original northern lights auto. Beans Been there 3 days and they ain't broke the surface yet! :oops: lol. Nervous times.

Patience.
LMFAO, Thank you for telling me that! I'm being serious. Your like the 500th person that has said that to me personally, in my lifetime. Yes I am absolutely an impatient person. Growing Cannabis though, has given me no other option, but Too have patience. For real. I got humbled by a plant, lol :eyesmoke:bongsmilie
