Thechemist77 HOLY SHIT that was one hell of a grow! how much do the boulder agros go for? does it use the Philips ballast?
the boulder lamp 315 watt cdl's were $500.00 a piece, they run the bulb horizontally which i like.. a little more expensive than the sun systems or others,, but i didnt know about the others at the time,, had i known i may have gone with the greenbeams 315 cmh lamp but im very happy with the boulders and they are now coming out with a led attachment that will provide a larger coverage and uva,uvb, and uvc to kill bacteria and prevent bugs in the grow room...its not a phillips ballast, its made by boulder, specs are on page 1 of my thred. but it runs the phillips agro bulbs and very efficiently i may add.. i am now on my 3rd run using the ceramics and my gpw has gone up with each run..i will be starting my 4th run in a few days and plan to get 1.5 gpw or better.. im running 3 315's over a 6ftx6ft area but im still using a 400 watt mh in my veg room, my 4th cdl is over a 3ftx3ft area that i use for feminizing and breeding..
this next run im taking the cover off the table, ill pack in more plants and just run flood n drain like my first run. with the cover on, i get 30 plants and the entire table has a mat of roots by the 4th week into flower.. running it with out the cover i can put more plants on the table rotate the plants, and the roots stay in the cubes..
im also starting a few new strains, 2 blueberries by spliff seeds and 3 different 5-o fems by black skull seeds,,ill also be running more of the th seeds bubblegum, bomb seeds big bomb, and homegrown fantaseeds vikings..ill see how they all grow and keep only the best quality and producing strains for future runs.. this last run i ran a few misty's, incredible bulk, and ak-48's along with my bubble gum and the misty is pure shit,,the ak-48 has great structure and lots of bud sites but not dense and they need at least 9 weeks way past 48 days,,and the incredible bulk,,big dense buds,very little stretch,but not as good as the bubble gum... sorry i rambled on,,,be well and grow well to all...
