These lights seem to me to be doing a fine job…I feel certain you are going to harvest some good bud…you know the old saying ’ if it aint broke don’t fix it '…you’re doing fine…

Check out the Gro-Ace website Yeild Lab 1000 watt double ended MH/ HPS…with wing reflector (cheapest /lightest weight) they have remote dimmable ballast…straight up dope growin lights
What about putting up a crossbar and hanging some reflective material in the front? A window shade comes to mind…

I like this idea.
Ok, serious question about water chillers before i drop $400 on this thing.
My water temp in the reservoir has maintained a steady 75° - 77°.
I am not seeing any issues with that temp.
Do i really need a chiller?
What would be the benefit?
This is what I’m planning to get.

Still tagging along lots of info helping me see things.

Picture time!
5-10 days into flower.
This was the runt. She took forever to pop out of the soil and I honestly almost gave up on her. Now she is the largest plant but is almost 2 weeks behind her sisters. She’s 32 inches tall today.
And of course here’s a little root porn. Don’t laugh, it’s cold in there. Plus, this is my first time with this system and I’ve never had roots do this before.

Welcome to my very own GROW JOURNAL!!!
So, update:
I just ordered 4 more Spider Farmer SF-1000 dimmable lights to go with my other 6 SF-1000 and 2 Blurples. They will be here next week, just in time for flower to really get started.
I’ll then have a total of 1400 watts of LED sunshine.

That is 100% great advice. With my level of patience… I’m sure I’ll totally disregard that great advice! lol… no but really…
I’ve been using the photone app and keeping my lights right at 40-45 DLI using height and brightness adjustments. I’ll keep them at that for a week after I get the new lights and then crank them up. At least I’ll try… No point in giving them more energy than they can take in.

That is very true. I’m thinking that with more lights I can get a more even coverage of the canopy. I’ll just turn the lights down to keep from hurting the ladies.

I noticed that over the past few hours some of my leaves are looking wilted. This just started.

I’m pretty sure i figured it out.
I moved the dehumidifier into the grow room.
Humidity hangs around 60% but i want it at 50%. But the heat produced from the dehumidifier was too much. I woke up this morning to it being 86° in there.
So, the dehumidifier is now out of the grow room. I’ll just have to live with the humidity at 60°. It shouldn’t be a problem, I’ve always grown at around 70-75% without a problem.
I also just finished extending the shelf so i could spread the ladies out. They were growing into each other.
I think I’m going to have to the some limbs up. I’ve never had plants this big so i never needed a net for them. Now i understand them lol.
Pictures will be posted soon.
