Lighting Quick question.

[Magic]

Does it matter if all you plants are directly under you main light source? I have a 3x3 tent and M0006 and have room for four plants but they all would not sit directly under the m0006. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong? Is it as long as my light is contained they can be staggered?

Yes, I think it really matters.

I grow 4 under similar LED and will not pull them apart as they grow. Now my light similar as GN 006 covers 80cm x 70cm.

I give them strong light from above and limit them with mylar walls. As soon as they touch walls with leaves and feel obstacle they do not stretch around. But you have to maintain them this way.

Yours have perhaps gone out of control a little bit and now there is a lack of space. As soon as you lift your light from 40cm to 80cm you lose three quaters of power per m2.

Maybe put them in the corner and build cardbox walls covered with mylar or any reflective material to make some kindof box in the box.

At 60cm above canopy 1 light should cover the room but to max the room out in bloom you want 2 lights at 30cm.

ok so ill b able to fit another in there ita just going to b a tight fit? maybe do some LSTing? thanks tang and gonzo but dont got the cash for another m0006 so during flowering will 2-3 125w cfls do the trick?

any additional light will help! i burn cfl's in both tent's.:smokebuds:along with led's.

:stylez rasta smoke:Nice im thinking of adding 2 dual spec cfls 125w when flowering starts hope that give them enough light to finish. i have 3 but i know that will raise temps alot so hopefully 2 can do the trick and can use the other one for seedlings Thanks bros

You could get a small 200w HPS and really cover some space in the tent!:stylez rasta smoke:Im thinking of doing a test with my CFL and LED 1 gn ms-0006 and 1 200w CFL in my dr 90 wonder how that will do :High 5:
