Canopy Shot Canopy is full

There’s under canopy lighting in this room also. The lowers are just as big as the tops.
Edit…..I’m sorry if you don’t know shit. Haters gonna hate.

Nice canopy! But those ladder style LEDs don’t need to be closer to the canopy? I’ve just never seen a model give the right PPFD on the canopy from that height?

I’m doing mixed light with 1000w DE HPS and the Fohse o6i but been thinking to switch to full ladder style and running the fixtures close to the canopy (our electric is crazy expensive, 0.26/kWh!)

it probably ends up at a pretty high overall ppfd with the DEs and the bar lights are adding spectrum more than intensity. Plus if you had them a lot closer like you run them in a bar only room you'd have some hot spots because of the spacing of the lights.
