everything looks happy bro,LOL you know me all to well
Yes those Raptors were $170 each in Sf....
I have an 8 inch fan cooling the 3 hoods and the air is around 64-66 maybe. The hoods stay very cool to the touch at all times. Room temp is 75 with the lights on......no burning of the plants or light bleaching. I have run my lights (hoods) so close as to cause light bleaching on some strains such as sfvogk. That shit is a little sensitive to light. Even though I did bleach some buds I still ran the light as close as possible to the buds! Also, if your hood makes hot spots in the canopy, then it will be harder to get the light as close as possible as the hot spots will upset the plant the most. My radiant hoods had horrible hot spots, but I bought those before I knew about the Raptors. Ive never run my lights 18 inches or higher over my plants, always lower. I saw the SeeMoreBuds dvds a few years ago and thats where I learned to get my lights as close as possible to the canopy. Too close is too close so its going to be a little different for everyone. More light = big dense buds!
Radiants are good if your space is limited. The Raptors are fing huge hoods!
No one water cools.....always aircooled or if you use Co2 the temp is not an issue because you can run it higher. The Raptors are 8 inch, so you need an 8 inch fan or a smaller fan with an adaptor piece to vent and cool it. The dimension of the Raptor are really big make sure it will fit into your tent, a radiant hood might be better sized, but I dont know. Also the Raptors weigh 39 pounds!
Look at the picture of the Ronnie James Dio plant in the Hugo block a few posts back. Its looking amazing. I grew 4 RJD's in hydroton and 1 in the Hugo. The Hugo block plant is far ahead of the others. It has way better structure,a main stem that is already incredibly thick a vast root network and is just plain old way bigger than the other plants in the net pots. I might do a run with a big block of rockwool to see the results in my bucket system, using flood and drain. They make the big moma, its 8x8x8. Thats a huge block, easy to flood and drain!
A picture of the PurpleBerry Bx clones that Im trying to make. The onset of the purple color was fast, within just a few days of flipping to 12/12.
Really like the structure of that straw x alien! Looking great snow! Got any pics of that headband ur rockin'...?..
beans just popped Snow....10 for 10 of these giant seeds germinated! Largest seeds I have ever germed.
Running the same Jack's as you. Did your Jack's bloom booster come with any instructions as to mixing rates etc? A buddy gave me a bit but I forgot to ask about dilution rates.
thanks for putting these beans out man -BB

My flower formula is.... 3.18 grams of Jacks and 1.8 grams of Ca Nitrate per gallon of water.
I will say this one more time to be very clear...
I am running Jacks Hydroponic at 3.18 grams per gallon of water.
I am adding Calcium Nitrate at 1.88 grams per gallon of water.
Epsom salts at 1/2 gram per gallon of water
