My SCROG "Grow Cart" on wheels

Sounds like a good setup. Just remember that ballast can get kinda warm I have a fan on mine to keep it cool. Its not hot enough to start a fire or anything like that but i think it will last longer if I keep it cool.

you did..............well.......I heard one of the has been in love with you & your genetics so long so long....so its pretty exciting for those growers:mrgreen:
 
far enough so you get even light over the tops while maintaining a proper canopy heat....an close enough so the plants dont excessivly stretch for light...peace az

Natmoon suggested I have mine 8 inches from the tops of my plants... suddenly the buds started getting fatter and fatter!!! Basically as close as you can get with out burning them.
 
... sorry for my laziness.. but whats the light and do you have a reflector? a cooltube? what kind of venting? air temps? thanks with that info i'm sure we can figure out something pretty comfortable for ya...
 
I like tham as close as I can get them. I will lower them then put my hand at the tops and see how hot it is. If i can keep my hand in place and its like a hot sunny day im good if it gets hot on my hand I move it up an inch os so till I dont think it will burn. Also keep in mind that the plant will need a few days to get used to the new light. so... I would keep it like 2ft away and move closer each day. Hope this helps and I want a pic when its all set up. I have to move my veg room till I get my tile done so thats what im doing today.

its a 400w hps...yes to the reflector no to the cool tube....I have an inline fan to vent of the light...ill take a pic of the whole thing after while..
 
I have my 400 8" away from the tops of the plant.
You may even notice slight bleaching of the tops but don't worry about it.
I previously didn't recommend this distance because it is more risky as you have to keep a closer eye on them in case they have a growth spurt and get burned:blsmoke:
