My Room Setup needs help

[Holzauge 0]

Hi.

My Room is 1,2 x 1,2 x 2,70 m

First problem :

Lighting

2 x Adjust a Wing with spreader

One with 600 and the other one with 400 Watt.

I got the feeling that I`m wasting many Light with my setup.

The Wings hang 70 cm over the plants. This brings the temperature on top of the plant to 25 C.

I think this is not the right way to use this wings.

I got some article how to use this wings, pretty detailed. In this article they spoke from hanging the lamp 25 cm over plant topping.

I think I do something wrong, please help.

May be the coverage of twoi wings is twoi big for my room size, thinking about running lamp by lamp. 2 Hours 600 Watt next 2 Hours 400 Watt. May be I could hang the wings 40 cm deeper and the plants get more light from one bulb than before from two .....

hello, mate

Growing in a confined space always has its problems.

Your lights are fine where they are;

25c at the top of the plants is fine.

yield is directly correlated to the amount of light the plant receives, and its intensity

Light is in my opinion one of the most critical factors in growing plants indoors.

My suggestion is to have more air moving through your tent; make sure the bottom flaps are open or better still when the light is on, leave the tent as open as you can.

You are doing nothing wrong, but your lights should be closer to the plants;

the plants need intense light, and a disadvantage of indoor lighting iws that it fades in intensity the further away it is from the top of the plants.

When you double the distance between the plant tops and the light, intensity fades to 25% of what it was before you raised the light

heat is always something that has to be dealt with in an indoor garden.

. how large is your exhaust fan(how much air does it move per second or how many cubic feet per minute does it move)?

normally one needs a fan that will totally exchange all the air in the tent with fresh air in 3 minutes or under.

i will check back, but do not worry too much as 25c at the top of the plants is fine,

and as the weather becomes colder, the temperature (assuming your exhaust fan is large enough) inside the tent will fall.

You do need to bring your lights down about 30 or 20cm, if possible.

happy growing,

john

Hey ho.

I try to let doors open as much as I can. But I Can not do it everytime. My Fan move 1000 m2, thats real big for this size of tent.

In Fact of doubling intensity of light. This is why I thinking that bringing the wings down to 30 cm will deliver more light to the plants than both lights with 70 cm. I think this could be....

BUT. That means plant get 2 Hours full lighting bla bla bla

I think that this could work good also becouse plants don`t want to bring 110 % every time. You know what I mean mate ?

Bringing the lights deeper than now is impossible but I will try it. Anything must change, 70 cm distance is bullshi...

Thanks for your care SuperblueHaze !

ok

my suggestion would be to get 1 x 1000 w bulb, one less cable and ballast, less heat and 400w over the reccomended lumens to m2 for your room size and a cool tube would do you the world of good.

I have the same size of room 600w cooltube 5" and a 4 inch intatke RVK fan.
