Well Candy’s entirely out of hand 4” from the light . Not going to move it because the leaves aren’t in a fixed position. When the lights go out the leaves drop like a rock on both sides of the room . I’d posted a pic earlier that shows this and it’s still happening. I ran a Kind Led K5 if too close it would fry them . No complaints on what it grew .
Candy
TDS 915 ppm was 1034 ppm Falling
Water level down 3 gallon Falling
Water temp 72.9
PH 5.4 was 5.8 adjusted to 5.8 Falling
Canopy temp 74.7 a/c blows right into the light , actually makes it swing a little. I know Candy Kush says 85 f is the top side for heat but i really don’t want it that hot in here . I was trying to run the temps high but was uncomfortable for me .
Room Temp 75.6 Rising RH 44%
Outside temp 70 f RH 87%
Wind S 8 mph
Krush
She’s behaving herself moving right a long .
TDS 1084 ppm was 1148 ppm Falling
Water level down 1 gallon Falling
Water temp 72.1 f
PH 5.8 Static
Canopy temp 75.3
Have a great day everyone.

If you absolutely have to you could pull Candy's tops out to the side to give a bit of breathing room before it hits the lights!

Out of pipe cleaners , I can take what I have on her now and retie her down more . As you and I know the stretching can last for 21 days and we’re at 11 days. I stuff fans every day after pics counting down the days to defoliation. 95k lux scary .
I was thinking airplane cables bolted to the walls.

No hijacker’s here you addressed Krissi and she appreciates all the Love you send .
I’ll look again after I get all the new larf off her and defoliate for that . I myself have never had one plant grow this massive. Thanks for your support.That's a POTM WH..I'm still in

I wouldn’t want to give the spider mites a trail to get to her . I found the lizard upside down in the dogs water bowl and I must have gotten there soon enough it survived so I put it in the grow room. All the ants dead in the DE he’s eating away. Nice and fat now .I was thinking airplane cables bolted to the walls.

Every tie I put on Candy last night just curved her butt right back to this Goliath of a light . The temp is 77f 4” from the Goliath , 10” away is 74.7f . As I said the a/c blows right at the Goliath. Tips are getting light in color but maybe the ph dropping daily. Can’t see anything else other then the tips . PH running low will mess with the magnesium uptake .

TDS 812 ppm was 915 ppm Falling

Krush
TDS 1024 ppm was 1084 ppm Falling
Water level down 2 gallon Falling
Water temp 72.7f
PH 5.7 was 5.8 Falling adjusted to 5.9
Canopy temp 75.3 closer to the a/c
Fixing to shut this far red light off , not that powerful, cheap one .
Have a great day everyone.

Candy’s looking just fine but out of hand , this Goliath is evidently broken in and in for a massive grow . Can’t put my fist between the Goliath and the canopy. No curled leaves at all but the tips look bleached . Does anyone think it might cause any problems ? These two girls have met since yesterday as we can see in the pic. New bulb Supposed to be here today, I only ordered one this time because I’m going to park this mh/hps again . As we can see no need for it !

I’ll change the light bulb tonight at lights out . The hood on the hps is for a 5’x5’ tent but it’s not covering that much because of the bulb .
Have a great weekend everyone.

I liked it better when things were illegal
Plants are looking great West. I would say to just keep an eye on the faded parts. As long as the tips don't start dying you might be okay.
I think an old hps I used before created hot spots and if I did nothing, the tips in the area would die and I know that's where an area of budrot formed.
Just a heads up, I started the first grow of the season and put a link in my signature. Three more to follow in 2023.

Still bleached looking tips this morning but just on the very tip. I know in the Perfect Sun Led thread they ran the Goliath at 10” over the canopy but just now proved it can kiss the light without a problem. At lights out I’m guessing to raise Goliath 6” . I’ll head over and check your thread .
