Same here bro, in learned a hard lesson my first run. Sitting on a bunch of seeded bud. Anything I do move is on the low. This round is all about quality first. I culled a few plants that I just didint like the look if. I'm gonna start with 1 light and ramp it up til I like what I see. :stinkyfeet::yuck::hungover::dead:
I meant to ask him earlier if his ballast was dimmable or select-able.. My 1k is both, and I have diff watt bulbs so im not really dimming the bulb.might I suggest running 2 600's hps over 1 1k
it will give better coverage
it has higher lumen per watt
and an overall more efficient lamp
if you have 2 ballasts and they can both run 600
I would just run 2 600
do you have an open hood or are they sealed air cooled?I considered it but I think I'm going to need more than 1200w for my area. Its 8x4x8 and I have 19 in 3gal smart pots. They're going to be at about 3' at flip. I followed your lollipop template this time and defoliated but I don't have the balls to pull every fan lol. I'll take a lot of them though. I'd love to hear your input on my grow for sure brotha. I do have 2 ballasts that are adjustable from 400-1200.
vader!do you have an open hood or are they sealed air cooled?
1k runs a steady 4x4 which can be extended to 5x5
600 can run a 3x3 -4x4
so if you are just running a 1k right now you def arent gonna cover everything
but I will drop some videos for you
my bad,, not vaderdo you have an open hood or are they sealed air cooled?

no Grand Master Levelvader!
Wow I got to watch that whole video once the cubs game is over... That looked crazy!no Grand Master Level
he is from canada but he knows the OG crew and others
he also has a video show that he hosts with a dude from San Diego whom also grows and is a tester for OG
Right now I have 1 xxxl magnum air cooled fixture and 1 open batwing style. I knew 1000w wasn't gonna do the whole room, I ran it last run but with a smaller footprint (5x5) that's what had me thinking of adding the 600w mh I have, or grab a 600w hps. I don't know what to expect from the summer temps. I'm in the basement so I figure it will be ok. I can't throw a bunch more money at this thing for awhile so adding ac is out.do you have an open hood or are they sealed air cooled?

here is my thinking for you. You can use that 600 mh in the batwing IF it doesnt raise your temps over 80 in your room. Because at 80, its prob 83 to 85 right at the leaf/canopy. I put temp/rh gauge at canopy. They are a little off when testing with a laser temp meter...Right now I have 1 xxxl magnum air cooled fixture and 1 open batwing style.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If it gets too hot I'll just grab a 600w hps and run 2 600w. I'm hoping the cold basement air will keep me goodhere is my thinking for you.

but anything above that would prob mean run both at 600... Which is prob the smartest thing to do. considering no ac....
you know when i finally finish this episode im gonna have MANY questions right??? pretty good so far!do you have an open hood or are they sealed air cooled?

i would just use what you got! 600 hps and 600 mh... dont u already have them?That's exactly what I was thinking. If it gets too hot I'll just grab a 600w hps and run 2 600w. I'm hoping the cold basement air will keep me good
Yea its a slow night at work so I got to watch it. Nice size growyou know when i finally finish this episode im gonna have MANY questions right??? pretty good so far!
No, 1000w hps and 600w mhi would just use what you got! 600 hps and 600 mh... dont u already have them?
no.....that is why I was wondering what you were talking about@Wisher619 hey did @Midwestjay say hi to you the other night? Sent me a mess said he was back, but havent heard anything from him since then....
Ya lol i figured that when he never showed up on the thread.. But he did msg me and say he was back..no.....that is why I was wondering what you were talking about
when you pinch of the leaves of the tops it stops the tops from growing to allow the rest of the branches to catch up to create a complete canopy without dividing branches into 2Ya lol i figured that when he never showed up on the thread.. But he did msg me and say he was back..
Idk brother...
So when plants throw red pistols early like week 4 or 5 that means the plant is stressed? And what was he pinching off on the tops here and there? lil fans? Why?
