Don’t know why it’s reveging. What I do know 100 watts of light is not enough for 1 let alone 2 plants. Perhaps the lack of light has something to do with it.

On 24 hours with no rest. Obviously grower made it to bud status and actually for the light it looks ok.
Unless we can get CSI on the case ( cannabis scene investigations) we may never know…

Sf1000 used Amazon found 100.5 watts. She is in a 4x4 tent. I figure 50 watts per square ft. Thats 800. I do know that is pushing the top of the scale but at least 400 watts is needed for that tent. I run 800 watts in a 2x4. If i read correctly you yourself run 300 watts I think it was in a 2.7x2.7 at 45 watts psf.
She has 6.25 watts psf. Unless there is another light not mentioned in the tent. CSI on light. LOL

Yes but Heratio ( CSI guy ) the victim had the light on 24 . 7.
This effectively doubles the DLI for the plant. That will grow a bud

It doesn’t matter how many hours it’s on, it’s still not enough light!! I bet if you check the par and light hours, there’s still no DLI to flower plants.

Still not good enough in my book.
That still only gives 13 watts per sqare.

I understand now. She has a 100 watt light and you think she is lighting a whole 4x4 with it.

The only way you could light a 4x4 with a 100 watt light is to mount it on the top of the tent right in the middle. You are right at that hight you get no light.

But that’s not what is going on. The light is hanging right above a single plant. The footprint at this hight is 12x12 inches. 1 square feet. At a distance of say 20 inches above the light the pattern will dilute as the footprint is 24x24 inches. The closer you drag the light the tighter the light focus. This raises the spot dli on the plant.

And I am embarrassed and would like to apologize to the OP for hijacking this thread. Last post not directed by OP at me .

DRsDank Pm me anytime for discussions.

I’m going to give my girls some rest from the light it’s just confusing because they are autos and I thought you could run 24/7 lights as I did with my Durban poison with no problems other than the leaves growing from that one cola the grow has been great and my girls look great as well. Just trying to learn as I grow lol

Yes that reveg is a strange one.
I was just going by what you wrote sorry about the confusion with the lighting. 25 watts per square foot will work. I like more but that will work.

The SF1000 is 100 watts. It’s equivalent in HID would be 200 watts.

If your light is really close, the plant might be trying to protect itself with sugar leaves on top? A wild guess. I wouldn’t think an auto would reveg? Someone stated that but I dont think you ever gave a light to plant distsnce? I’d get on 18/6 and move the light up if it’s close. Give that a few days and sees what happens. Looks pretty good besides that. Welcome to ILGM @Kyanag_dagrower .
