I GIVE MY PLANTS AS MUCH LIGHT AS THEY CAN HANDLE WITHOUT BURNING THEM, AS I LIVE IN WALES UK, ITS RATHER COLD N DAMP HERE oops, so the plants can handle a MH bulb close to them, obviously the smaller the bulb, 70 watters can be placed above a heat proof class sheet to get the bulbs even closer. but i must admit, ive only ever hasd light burn from leds. never MH/HPS, but i was taught well to begin with, the bikers realy knew how to grow weed under mh/hps

Thanks for sharing. How do you maintain the temperature then?

no need to realy, it never gets that hot here, i have a single 9" extraction fan in the roof of my tent, i have just baught a cooltube light reflecto and hope to join the two up, as it has been getting hotter the last few years. i genraly grow outside. i have a polly tunnel last year and this yyear. ive just been given space for a generous 50ft pollytunnel im intending to put up. still looking for one i can afford at presant, so going to do two grows this year with 6 plants. 4 in tent and two monsters in tunnel.
will let you know if i get heat issues, as i will be asking on RIU fo advice if i need it,

These ladies are enjoying 750 ppfd, I may turn it up a bit more when they flower but right now they seem to enjoy where it's at.

My lights in the 10x5 tent are set to 450ppfd since it's going to have veg starts in it for now.

Big tent bro, looks very neat and clean, great setup!
What weeks are they now?
I started them back in November, they are in 15 gal pots, I've topped them and lst them..

Plan was to build scrog nets but these 3 way elbows are a pain to find.

The ones in the tent I'm thinking will be my outdoor this year, but I'm not sure, they are getting pretty big and will out grow their space if I dont watch it.
