Been doing more reading on soils, ROLS, organics etc and came across some great reading , saving it here for later/continued reading.
Basic soil info
http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/10t.html
Organic gardening course
http://www.ibiblio.org/rge/course/
Started a 2nd rubbermaid tub with Dr. Earth for later uppotting, hence tthe reading above.
Got the heavy duty timers in on the 600's currently running 9am/9pm off. Everyone feed last night, following same feed rate as previous. I will start bumping the flower feed rate by end of next week, which will be about 2 weeks into 12/12 and the time to swap my bulbs to HPS.
Be harvesting one of my worm bins this weekend for some castings and to add to my new "precooking" tub and my compost pile. Temps seem great in both tents, with the added CFMS. I will be adding 1-2 small 6' fans for the flower tent just for circulation.
Also I will be doing some more topping/ trainning finally on the veggers in the 1 ga pots. Plus want to find a nice mom out of the remaining plat OG's and I decided the feminized Royal Kush X Darkstar is going to be a mom, she is looking great and darkstar is a favorite of mine. Figure Ill put them into a 5 -10 ga smart pot and just keep em short and stout in a corner of the veg tent for clones when needed in the future. The single 330watt CMH seems to be doing great as a single light for vegging.
other than that, still meeting with contractors as getting ready to do some "upgrades" :D time shall tell
Hope all of your week is well

QUESTION? The CMH Bulb? You think its stand alone for veg for certain? I hear a few run them in bloom. And fyi, reading never hurt nobody i read EVERYTHING i get my eye's and hands on. Positive Vibes Brother.

Agreed, I am a fool for info.....my laptops, tablets, phones all have huge .pdf libraries and links lol. I am lucky a "farmer" I could trust doesn't live too close, cause Id have coffee and a bowl ready every morning :D
I got into CMH when I first started learning to grow about 3 yrs ago. I love them! I have flowered with it and did great for a 330 watt set up, but then my garden size grew and I decided for vegging it should be great, and so far seems to do all I need. I only am running the 330 in my veg tent on 18/6 so also power is not a huge issue, and after looking at some reading from my meter light seems to have good coverage thru out the 4x8 area. The only real issue with CMH is you want a bare bulb set up, either vertical or open hood, so you dont block UV. So in turn you have to think about environmental heating/cooling/air movement of your grow area, BUT CMH does run a bit cooler then MH/HPS. I get better lower growth with nice node spacing since using the CMH fo veg. I would love to switch to the 800(ish) CMH they had for magnetic 1000 watt ballasts, but they have been hard to locate so I decided veg with it, MH for the first 2 weeks of flip to reduce stretch and then 1200 watts of HPS for the final weeks. Hope that helps, if I can answer any questions or point you in the right direction LMK
Righteous! I think i could get with a bare vert cmh for veg, lol im already vert bare in bloom lol how many plant's you believe the 330 would max out at? Are we talking tru watts with cmh just at a different spectrum? Ive been racking my head on how to veg vert and consistent. But i have t8s vert looking crazy lmfao so time to upgrade. Any links to your bulb setup? Thanks UF!

This is the bulb I have, run by a old magnetic MH 400 watt ballast. 4100K at 33k initial lumens , plus they can be hung universal :D Well as far as how many plants? Not sure buddy, I have 12 1 gal pots going , all with plenty of room to move in my 4x8x7 tent and they all seem ok
