I was starting to get a little bit of bleaching from my QB at 200W and a distance to canopy of about 10cm, so I can totally believe @KaktusBoer. Also ended up raising mine but not as extensively, mine is sitting about 18cm now and the plants look a bit more comfortable. 

@CreX would you say distance to canopy is more important than watts being pushed? 

I say coverage is better... So like @PsyCLown said, raise the lights a bit and up the power. 

But I'm gonna say it again, you have to be able to measure the light coming from your lights, in order to be able to place lights correctly and at the right height. Simple lux meter takes that guess work away.

And then I go for a ballpark intensity of at least 50k lumens anywhere on my canopy as coverage for flower... 

So with that goal of getting a 50k coverage you can determine how high or low you need to put your lights... Typically I aim for 50k on the outskirts of the grow, knowing that anything closer to the light than the outskirts will be much higher intensity which is also okay...remembering Plants can handle maximum intensity under the sun. 

If at canopy level you aren't getting over 20k intensity - I'd say lower your lights or raise the wattage. 

 

Note - I haven't slept and I'm still partially slizzered from some decent LSD tabs please pardon any ramblings

I keep the outdoors for my Trichocereus cacti, another passion of mine.

 

We share that passion my man! You got any interesting Trichs or only the real makoya? 

Been collecting a few years after I got my hands on my first san pedro, now I got all kinds of cacti growing all over the place, most of them are active.

Looking to do a few grafts soon!!

Also, very nice indoor setup you got there, I seriously need to upgrade my blurple and get me one of those qb's!!!

@Naughty.Psychonaut oh yeah man! Great hear. I have about 100 plants in my collection. All of them Trichocereus and Lophophora. I've got a few crests and variegates. Lots of Pachanoi, quite a bit of Peruvianus and a few different Bridgesii. Would love to see some photos of your plants man! This is a graft of a variegated Pachanoi slab grafted onto a Peruvianus.

That is crazy! How did you get them to varigate like that or do you just graft from an already varigated piece? I've seen a varigation thay was white as chalk instead of the yellow, and it was more like streaks with streaks of green in between, buddy of mine got a cutting and it rooted and shot out green... bummer. 

I am looking at doing a few lophophora x pachanoi grafts soon, wana do it indoors during the winter. Will be my first graft.

I've got mostly pachanoi all over the place, then a couple macrogonus, cuzcoensis, like one or two small peruvianus and couple of lophophora williamsiis. One that's pushing flowers and I hand pollinate them each time and get seeds every year, also got a few seeds a while back, planted like 50 and 3 years later I'm left with one hahah. Gona plant more soon and do Lophophora x Pereskiopsis grafts. Got a ton of pereskiopsis. Then I got two cuts off a mutant Brigesii Penis thing. Will add photo, you probably know it. Some call it a whales dick or a jews dick hahah.

      Hi! I'm new here. Please help me to feel more comfortable at this place. Recently i owned a little farm. As I was tending to the vegetables in the garden, I got the idea to plant some marijuana for my own use. The biggest problem is that I live in a country where it is illegal. So I'm open to talking about this topic, share your experience. It will be very interesting for me. Thank you in advance.

      Howzit people. 
      Here to learn and just see what's going on. I'm a grower, only been growing for 6 years and recently got into breeding to create/preserve strains I like. I grow outdoors, I know the basics of indoor growing but do not have my own setup. I prefer local genetics and love to dabble with bagseed. 
      I created this account for fun, just to share my experiences and hopefully learn a thing or two.
      Edit: I don't have any pics up on the forum yet but you guys can check out my instagram if you keen  SAgrower (@africangrown) • Instagram photos and videos

      Hi Growers
      I go by Dream, I'm a software developer who's into far to many hobbies and loves to deep dive into them.

      Main hobby of course being growing, I've currently only grown with Hydro using Coco, DMC and Kratky methods. 
      I've been growing for around a year now and currently switched from using EHG to Hortimix with my latest grows.

      Main reason for joining was seeing the AWESOME community and knowledge that is spread between everyone here. 

      Currently struggling with my latest grow in flower which has lead me to learn how to use Hydrobuddy with Hortimix to basically reproduce other formulas.
      Keep in mind I haven't been able to really test this yet and would like to share what I learnt with everyone here.

      Some photos of my grows:


      ^ Half my harvest still on the plant here ( Around last year Dec ).
      ^ President Seeds - Critical Churchill: Using EHG and an Autopot with Fabric


      ^ Can grow challenge on Instagram ( Harvested 2 weeks ago )
      ^ Samba Seeds - Auto Critical: Using Hortimix and a Can with ALOT of holes ( super important )


      ^ What's in my tent at the moment ( Around 2 weeks ago though ).

      ^ Planning to try this next

      Howzit guys, just joined here, awesome to have a local community like this sharing this common interest. I'm looking forward to learning with you guys!
      Thought a fitting introduction would be to tell you about my grow set up.
      At the back of my property I have a small 3x3m room attached to my garage which has now become the grow room. I painted it out, coated the cement floor and replaced the glass windows with plexiglass so that I could lasercut appropriate holes for my ventilation. I 3D printed the louvers on the outside as well as the 100/150mm fittings for my ducting.
      Environment
      2x 1.2x0.7x1.7m grow tents Tent 1 = 1x BestVA 1200W (240W draw), upgrade will have to wait a while 😄 Tent 2 = 2x Blurple lights (180W draw each), again, these are not ideal but get the job done for now 1x Ø150mm inline fan for extraction 2x Ø100mm inline fans for intake (1 for each tent) 4x Oscillating fans Bug barriers Temp/RH Displays Grow Media
      Short story:
      Circulating DWC
      Long story:
      I built my own little circulating DWC system with a reservoir for each tent. I have an air pump that has a manifold for 6 outlets so I pump that into each bucket including the res, obviously with a air stone in each. To circulate I sized down the 40mm piping to 12mm and push the water through using a submersible pump. In the net pots I have my germinated seed in a rockwool starter cube and filled with clay pebbles.
      For nutrients, at the moment, I'm using TA Tri Series, formerly GHE. I got a silica and oxygen boost from @GrowGuru that works pretty well and I finish off with Ripen 
      What's in the box?
      Currently I have 2x Dinafem Big Kush's in week 2 of flower in the the tent on the right and 2x Dutch Passion Durban Poison in week 3 of veg in the left tent.
      I guess that's about it for my intro
