Yeat!You ain't shittin, you read the whole thing. My notifications have blown up from your like bombs.
holy moly Elle you feeling ok sorry you had to listen to some of my ramblings
tbh i havnt had any height problems till now.sure i break a neck,now and again an arm and a leg....but is that not a good thing in a way ? a more even canopy,even if its not terribly even.
my lil seedling shelf at 50cm from light not liking new light,70cm fine.top of a mature plant now at 22cm away from light and no bleaching...has a lump in its throat,but no broken neck .....yet.
i know them 50w cobs are real good or are they 100w run at 50w ? but im thinking a panel with 5x10w do 10's exist ? would give a good canopy to a 50x50 with not so much penetration as a 50w allowing to get much closer to the plants...all theory ofcourse i know didlly about leds.no thats not true,have me pal big Clive to thank for that
Tough job but it needed doing LOL. You may call yourself an eejit from time to time but you've grown some pretty stellar bud!
My 50w cobs run at about 47w as I'm using a lower amperage driver (1050mA) to the ones that cobshop sell. However the one that's gone in the little tent will be running a little higher (more like 52w) as it's got a 1400mA driver. I don't know anything about other wattages, sorry. If I find the new one's too bright I can swap it into the big tent and get one of the 47s instead. And I have a little UFO as well if necessary. I know nothing about par or lumens or any of that complicated stuff, I'll just see if the plant likes it or not!
I shall probably have a go at a scrog to help keep the height down. I'll see what I can contrapt! I'll tag you over at my thread when it's all up and running if you like.
