Hi guys just joined today
Ive being doing my research over the last few months and have finally jumped into the world of growing.
I've purchased myself a vipar 400 w led (reflector)
I also have extract fan and a circulating fan
I borrowed a tent from a friend 80,80,160(cm)
My pots are 11 litres each(European sizes)
I'm using bio biz light mix as my medium
And bio biz nuts (all organic)
.ok so 1 r 2 things I no I've done wrong but it's to late turn back are
1. Never disinfected and washed down the tent when it was giving to me
?will this cause me problems in long run I did clean what I could when I found out I was meant to disinfect .
2.i never soaked my soil be fully before I start. I did put around a litre to each.
My plants are blackberry kush x2 and w.widowx2 from d.p
Am I going to have enough space to finish these

hi, m8 the space should be tight if grown right. mine are about 80cm wide the smallest about 50cm. iv a plant thats 4 feet tall, so these can get bigger than you exspect. 2 of mine would completely fill that. it my first time with auto's so maybe someone more experinced could help with training the under a net of some sort. am going to try a little training next run if all go goes well. take a look at my journal. but good luck. peace.

Thanks guys for stoping by. Also guys if anyone can help I'm not sure were I should hang my light at the moment it's around 18inches above the plant the girls it can be raised again by another foot. Am I at risk of stressing them being this close

I'm not an expert by any means but may I recommend reading thru the Led section, TaNg has just about every answer you can think of for all things Led and I believe that you find this a valuable resource.

Tang once recommended me to hang my led light 75 cm for seedlings 60-45cm for veg & 30 cm for bloom ....that's for my kind L300 though ....maybe for your light it might be different ..... but I assume its pretty standard unless you get into the much bigger Led lights ... I also read in one of his threads (tang) that usually once you start getting used to your lights you can play with the heights a bit to find there sweet spots ...Dirt is def sending you in the right direction for info ....

Did a little research ...and seen that your vipar led lights are actual 200 w draw which puts it in around the same wattage as mine so id say the distances I gave you are safe ....:smoking:
