Thanks for your response and insight. I also had a question about lighting. The lights I am using in my tent are only 600 watt, I bought an LUX light meter and checked them at 100% brightness. If the meter was within 6 inches of the light it could get up to 55k LUX, which is 915 PPFD which should be enough for flowering. But if the probe is the recommended 12 – 16 inches away from the light like the canopy. It barley makes 33k LuX, 550 PPFD, not enough for flowering. So my question is do you think I can get away with keeping the lights on full blast that close to the canopy during flower? Or is it a wash and I have to buy a more powerful light? I have done 2 grows now, unsuccessfully unfortunately so I am trying to address every angle. Thanks for your response and any help. Happy growing.
