      Good morning Farmbuck are you seeing different heights on your plants under the foot print of those lights? Do you think of moving them around under the sweeter spot or do you think the coverage is good enough on the side pots nearer the center of lamps? I see taller more stretch on the plants closer to the wall reflectors. I know you got different strains, is one stretching more than other? Wheww wee must have caffine kicking my brain into question mode sorry........

        LOLL SoOrbudgal Hi western friend, I don't move them around but I do rotate them. Some are a few days older than their sisters so maybe why they are less taller, as for the sweet spot, some are bigger and some are smaller. The ones stretching more are my Amnesia Haze. But I can tell you the one I like the most in my GG#4, she is dead center under my P2000. She is on picture #1. Remember Budgal it's my first true auto grow so it's more of a learning process and an observation. Being a photo grower I have the habit of applying some old photo LST on them loll So far I don't have any serious issues with my autogirls.

        Cheers,

        FarmBuck

          Too early !!

          Catfish22 Correction: I meant "Out with the chopsticks" when I wrote it... but I was distracted by looking at my autogirls wondering how they will look in 60+ days from now ..!
