Lighting BlackStar The Manual

[astronomy420a]

that's not a lot of lumens or wattage, i would drop them to 16 to 20 inches if the true leaves have deployed. maybe move seedling's closer together

shaun, sorry were not trying to confuse you, i isolated your pic, and page zoomed to 200%, and got a better idea as to what you have going on. i saw domed seedling's to the right and to the left, and larger plant's in the middle, what age are the middle plant's? i run four blackstars and have had them as close as six inches to seedlings with no bad result's, except for the bs chrome i have that's another beast intirley.
i love you mr tang!:hug:

no worries guys... ,i need all the help i can get..

all plants are in 1liter pots... so not that big..

the middle pot is going to be chopped tomorrow.. size of plant around 8 inches...

Distance from LED to top of cola around... 16-18 inches..

the reason is last grow... i use a cabinet with only one ufo and it seems that the lights are to close.. but it was fine ... (picture below is the old setup)

since i got two on now... i got the impression that now with the tent i can get more distance in... and adjust as they grow..

the seedling in the domes are 1 day old ... tiny true leaves coming out already.. :booya:

really appreciating all the input guys!... thx uu..:thumbs:

shauninspace, you should never leave dead leaves laying around your plants my friend, bugs are attracted to the color of dying leaving so having them just laying around your garden is an invite to pest issues. sorry to pipe up about it but i listen to danny danko's free weed podcast and he's beat it into my head so now its an automatic reaction

good luck with your next grow and glad your puttin more light in that cabinet. careful collecting blackstars can be addictive i started with only one 180w ufo now thats gone and i've got 4 others

has anyone used the blackstar chrome 405w model? was thining of picking up tow of these badboys for my 4x4 tent sense they can be daisy chained together.

I have a 270w chrome, I actually prefer my regular BS 240's though. I've had it for several months and I still feel like I'm "testing" it out. So far my 240's outperform the chrome(the 270 FSF model anyway).
Just my opinion though killa, I know some guys that love their chromes. :smokebuds:

thanks rob

i run both as well but i am liking my chrome alot!:dance:just harvested first crop with it a strain i had grown before, the result's were bettet with the chrome. but i hedgged my bets a little, with a 135w flowering model and cfl's, that i alway's use in the tent. if you run both in the same tent, there is adifference in how far away the chrome has to be. until the plants are in to heavy flowering, chrome has to be 30" away, you can get them down to 14 to fifteen inch's when the plants are large with bud. the flowering blackstars i run about 16 inches during veg, and down to 12 inch's when flowering! this work's ok for me! i would go get the big gun if you can afford it killa!
