With 6 k i thought you would be taking up a whole room lol. But I was thinking maybe just using pandafilm and 2x3s to section it off?

Shit I wish I could. One day I'll be able to do that but for now I'll put it in a tent so I can control the conditions without having to reconstruct walls and stuff. Plus with that all in one tent the lumens inside would be sick and whatever you put in there would get chunky.

The CMH lamps look to be the real deal. I would love to get one.

On another note about lighting - i did a trial run using the Solis Tek lamps. I flowered using the Solis Tek 400 watt 4K then switched to the 400 watt Solis Tek 10K finisher for the last 2 weeks. I was pretty impressed with the outcome. Yield suffered a bit, but I feel I could have done quite a bit better as I did this trial in a 36"x20" tent with only 2 plants (landrace Afghan Kush)image.jpg

(Excuse my messy basement) i ended up with 6 colas like these. Buds were denser then what I get with HPS but there was ALOT more leaf then usual. I also feel like flowering took a week to 10 days longer also. Shit was sticky-icky like glue! I would love to see what these lamps can do with a proper sized grow are (3'x3') with like 6 plants or so. I think i would flower using these lamps for 5 weeks, switch to HPS for 2 weeks, then the 10K for 2 weeks.

the thought crossed my mind he could be sterile. im about to start flowering some males and properly store the pollen this time. so my pollination should only be setback 3/ 4 weeks.

Lmao thats alot. Shot as far as I know all you need is the bulb which is about 50-60$ and it works with a mag ballast of the same wattage

I find it a little interesting that only one person reviewed that light and he downs LED's lolol. I wonder if he bought the chinese panels that burn out. Expensive though for that little setup 600 bucks you could have yourself an Area51 and not worry about cooling the bulb.

I think there is too much debate over which system works the best when it really comes down to genetics. I have had certain genetics work better under hps and others under LED. I also underfeed according to feeding charts because I give 1/2 or less and only give nnutes once per week. I am a strong believer in genetics over everything else. I have had an OG clone with nutes and with straight tap water come out looking and smelling so similar that it was hard to figure out which one didn't get any extra food.
