my mars hydro 144x5 after 2 months of use
I have a 4'x4' tent with 2x 96x3 Reflectors in along with another tent containing the Mars II 1600w. Before that I used HPS (600w) but the temps killed me. Although the 96x3w can't reasonably compare to either the Mars II or the HPS it is still light available for the plants to grow, and should still bring them to harvest. Here are a few pointers just in case you ever wish to try it out again.
1. Watch your watering. The Reflectors put out nowhere near as much heat as a HPS so you won't need to water as much as with a hot HPS.
2. As mentioned above let the plant/plants acclimatise to the lights first. Although you may not see all that light and heat as you would a HPS these lights use certain wavelengths that are just as powerful and will still cause problems such as light burn to your plants.
3. Make sure you add extra CalMag to your feeding schedule as plants grown under LED have an extra thirst for it.
I hope this helps you in your decision on abandoning the light and instead giving it a chance. It's just a slightly different way of growing and much as some people prefer coco to soil, others are more suited to HPS over LED. As a fourth option, if you can't find anything here that can sway you into giving it a grow, sell the light. They're cheap enough that you can still make a profit from it. Or sell it cheap to me, I have the room
All the best steeders and I hope you find a way to use it, even if it's just as a supplement light for your HPS
Nice grow. Couldn't wait to see it's under 144x5w.
Here's what my old style 100x3w grew! These were taken a few weeks before we took her from the old light and gave her a new 144 x 5w. She put on another 5-6 between these pics and the new light.
Hi Mrmolina, thanks for the 1st post. 
You will love here. 
Light if not going to do that to your plant. Ok let me break light problems down using LED. Under light from being to far, Very light green and stretch along with small leaf growth no leaf drop. Over light from to close, White bleach spots aka (led light burn), leafs cup like a taco from heat light stress along with slow growth, very small node spacing, all with no leaf drop.That about sums it up. Now for leaf drop, Over water,under water, root bound from pot to small, Nute lock but should see problems on leafs with that one, High heat in room over 80+degrees on some strains, some strains can take higher temps more then others. Lack of fresh air, plants are running out of Co2 to take in so not exchanging air enough times a hour. Humidity to low.
Week 1 growth: 60%
Week 2 growth: 60%
Week 1 flower: 55%
Week 2 flower: 50%
Week 3 flower: 50%
Week 4 flower: 50%
Week 5 flower: 50%
Week 6 flower: 45%
Week 7 flower: 45%
Week 8 flower: 40%
Week 9 flower: 40%
Well that's a level can be used to get by good. Some strains take more or a little less but not by much.
Thats my 2 cents from yours truly CO Finest, keep it growing green.
It's the first time I heard of Light Shock.
You can send me an email or place an order at our website. 
agree. when it's closer, the coverage will reduce. Side light will be wasted. I normally start my girls in flower around 18" I would not go closer then about 12" if you can help it. You start to loose the full spectrum of the light if you get too close.
