Ph help and need a better understanding!

I like the low watt in veg. But flower needs 3 times more. Makes a big difference.

How far away from the plant do you think these need to be. Each one says 28 watts- full spectrum led bulbs. Center light is a daylight led 13 watt- 100 watt equivalent that has had plastic cover removed for more light output.

Guessing about 6-8 inches. Guessing here. Pay very close attention to signs of heat stress. Maybe start at a 12-14 and come down a inch or two a day .

@Wishingilivedina420state I got them 10 inches from top of plant. Sent message to vendor to see what they say about it. I also have pic of pots I ordered.

I got same pots I think, if your plants look like there stretching try lowering, if they have a tight node space I’d say let it ride. Your dead center of were I said to start . Maybe small adjustments. But you know what They say about if it ain’t broke.

I thought that if you use a chemical like florakleen or whatevs that it is done with a gallon of water because it’s so proficient in rinsing the salts away?
The mentors have forever taught that 3x the pot size for water.
10 × 3gal pot is 30gal that is a Lil much ?
Edit
Not trying to stir the pot,just wanna get it straight @kabongster @Wishingilivedina420state

hopefully there is run off from the regular waterings in soil/soilless grows or that the plant hasn’t been over fertilized…

up to 3 times the pot size with pH’ed water is what I learned…flushing is stressful to our girls.

I would saturate the soil with the cleaner mixed as directed, let it bind with the accumulated salts then rinse it out, keeping track of ppm and pH, using less than 3 times.

I feel the same way. Logistically, 30 gal of RO water is an undertaking… What if using a product like Sledgehammer, does it still call for 3x water?

Well I’m sorry the mentors lied to you. Water does not remove salt near as fast as a chemical. I can prove it . What’s that stuff in our oceans o yeah salt. Water will not remove the salt from your pot by itself. Try it ur self put a glass of water with salt in it and see how long the water takes to desolive it. Go ahead I’ll wait. Now I use sledgehammer not floraclean but if water works by useing one gallon. Would there be a reason to make sledgehammer or flora clean if that’s the case. I’ll leave this to see what mentors disagree with it .while I do agree that this mith is being told on this site. It needs to stop.

Nowhere in the previous post was ANYONE ,patronizing, nor sarcastically assholelish .
So if it took 10×s the water the how come on all the journals that the grower has to perform a FLUSH that the ppm witch is directly related to the salt in the medium is bottomed out after the 3×the water flush that has for over a year been the "standard "
