You say small flower area.... How small? What is your head height? If you run them to close to the canopy it's not pretty how bad most strains frown from the direct intensity...
its 12x16 and 13 ft ceilings. Beds are 4 feet off the floor cause im a tall as fooker and wanted it that way from back issues. so i have 9 feet to play with with growth. :swordfight:
I do have 4 spectrum's (800 watts) of led on the side as well as a note..
Ive grwon in this room with the same strain with the same setup for 3 years now(30 cycles) so i even have the average(norm) charted out already.
I got the bulbs for cheap-I DID do research before ordering so....let the grow gods be with us.
I was hitting 2.28 lbs(average) per 1 k in there before the change.
damn dude, what strain is that? 2.28 with 1k Hps is slaying the beast! I used to average around 10 to 11lbs from 9 chemdogs under 6 1k HPS.. last pull was just a bit over 14. Only difference was the lighting upgrade..... Plants grow taters everywhere.. no popcorn
nice to see someone else sing the praises of the Matrix! I love these ballasts, awhile back I was considering the Philips DE bulbs and Kyle over at Solis Tek told me I did not need to purchase an gavita ballast because the Matrix will fire them. Well I never got around to purchasing the phillips bulbs as my garden is morphing into an vert garden atm:D
