Evening All!

I recently moved my photo bagseed plant to a 4x4x7 tent for bloom and better ventilation and I am hitting her with 2x 400w HPS for better penetration. I was going to use one HPS with a Blackstar 240w HO UV LED but half of it went tits up on me. Temps are not at issue but since the move I've noticed that the inner fans are all nice deep green but all the outer growth is much lighter. No bleaching at all. The lights are about 28" above the top and angled. Below is a pic I took a 3 days ago. Since the pic, she's popped out all over with flowers and stretched 3". Just in case of chlorosis, I've upped her nitrogen a bit more as I had cut back a bit due to clawing.

I'm thinking of:

A. side mounting the lights (bulb horizontal) on angle where the sides of the tent meet the top on opposite sides or...
B. in the corners (vertical bulb) on angle or...
C. Stop over thinking this shit and leave it alone you busybody schmuck! :grin:

1. Will this amount of light be a problem?
2. Which orientation would best serve?

Thanks!

I think as long as your temps are good, then you should be okay.

Just my opinion.

I'm with Eek, go with option C. Higher light levels will result in lighter green leaves. As long as the plant is not showing any signs of stress I think you will be good. The higher light levels should result in better trichome production.
