@GreenRN, Hi! Yes, it seems you have a bit of light burn. In my experience, i noticed this: led light have "hot spots" too and under 24H, the leaves under those will get light burns first. To avoid light burns, either you give everything right in terms of environment and feeding or is better to keep the canopy below that level until is early flowering, to promote vigorous flowering. You will probably get some light burn, but many more flowers too :). The more even is the light and the more even is the canopy, the easier to manage light burn. Always go step by step with light height, so you can easily revert back with not too much damage. My personal reasons for 24: i can keep the plants compact (i have limited space); it is easier to reach the highest bud to light ratio; to keep the initial setup cost budget lower: 100W at 20hours = 2000W/hour 100W at 24hours = 2400W/hour to make fat buds (again because of low stretching)

@GreenRN, they have a fairly good spectrum, maybe they lack a bit in the reddish part of the spectrum, to promote flowering. If you have an hps, i think it's time to put it on :) Beside that, if you want more yield, for the next run, you may want to start lst, hst, fim, defoliation and so on. The objective is to make the highest number of buds under the light in the end :) In this scenario, is better to have a bit more plants in smaller containers, they will finish in time with the schedule and they will compensate a bit for the increased hours of light. The procedures will stess the plants a little, so they will need a little bit extra care. Have fun!

@Smokelahoma,not from us but dude if you get a lil community started hit me up .

Hope the surgery went well! The girls are looking good!

Hope your recovery is going well. You should check out the ProFilter50 from Atmosphere. They are pricey but well woth the money. Came in and no dust at all in packaging, cannot smell a thing. I went ahead and got the VTX600 fam to go with mine and it was the best investment as fa r as odor control. Moves air and on high hooked up to insulated ducting I cant even hear it when my door to my box is closed. I am moving around 425cfm. Lol. I wanna try an auto next. Lol.

Update?

They look good! Is hydro a lot of work? I've thought about trying hydro at some point.

@OneDude, I don't use LEDs, I use Ceramic MH, if that makes a difference. I did raise the light up about 2" and I think that's helped. Leaves not taco'n as much. So thanks for the feedback.

@OkieJim, thank you!

Wow, your plants look great. I have some of these seeds. Excited to see what they do. I was wanting to try an auto next. I may try Coco as a medium next time. Not sure. But great looking ladies you have there... for sure...

@GreenRN, lol, that's funny about the exhaust fan, great minds think alike I guess. I fell on some Ice once and my shoulder has never recovered, I know shoulder pain for sure.

@GreenRN, I'll send you a PM

@GreenRN,try the fan blowing over the tops too, it will help.

@Smokelahoma, yes Im definitely interested in meeting others. I'd be happy to share my email addy, but not sure how on here?

Followed you back! Always nice to find another like minded okie! I would love to get a small network of growers connected to share stories, tips, tricks, clones, seeds, etc! Good luck with the rest of your grow!

@BeefWellingtons, funny you mention the AC Infinity Cloud Line! I have the 6" and love it. I was hesitant about the price at first, but I am extremely impressed. I think Im going to turn it up some. Thanks for sharing the filter info, i will definitely look into that brand. I appreciate it. Thanks, shoulder surgery is no fun!

So I think the exhaust fan is more important than the carbon filter and I want to suggest the ac infinity cloud line t6. Its fully programmable. While they make a 4inch and an 8 inch, I would go with the 6inch for your tent. You will always be able to dial it down if it's too high. For the filter I suggest a 6in from terrabloom, that handles 400cfm. These will pair nicely. I don't know where they are made but a little research on amazon can't hurt. (These are both on my personal wishlist). Hope that helps. Hope your shoulder heals well.

@OneDude, thanks, so far so good. Poster above mentioned it looked like might have a little heat/light burn, I'll raise my lights up more to see if that will help. Have you had any issues with 24/0 lights with your autos that I might need to watch for?
