well since I may not be up for lights out, and I don't know know how much time I have left until the end of this week, here's some really crappy pics bc of the color and lights, but still better safe than sorry!
I'm going to try and get pics when the lights shut off. or maybe if it gets too hot again, and I'll give the hps a 30 min break, and just take pics under the other lights! I just don't wanna be booted this early from the comp so here's mine, and without further ado and crappy quality brought to you in part by Mr. Green.... lol
and as you noticed I'm only working with 3 since one just doesn't seem to want to come out of its shell! I'm going to give her another day or 2 and if she doesn't break it open herself, I'm going to try and rip it off! either she will live from me tearing off the seeds shell, or she will die anyway just bc the dam shell won't come off!

I hope that's good enough? I know the dates, names and numbers thats written on the cups aren't shown very well(or at all), but my space is getting limited! my 5x5 is maxed out, and the gg4 has Gotten so big, growth is just crazy. and despise all my planning she has still gotten out of control! I just don't have room for the black tray to fit on top of the scrog anymore! so I had to make due, fortunately the cups fit perfectly into the outer holes on the scrog! almost like it was made for it!

as time goes on I'll pull them out and take better pics with all names and stuff shown! I'd assume this would be OK for now! not like I'm running solo cups in flower for anything else lol! can't imagine anyone would lmfao!

what kind of lights are you running, beautiful color on your pics, I'm jealous! I'd love to be able to get that color, without having to shut off all the lights and bring some t5 leds into the tent. lol its the only way I can get a decent pic in the flower room! it gets very annoying! and a lot of work just for a dam daily pic!
I can take pics in the dark with my flash that stays on steady, but even still the pics come out very dark! and it has to be a close up! here's an example, still takes decent pics, but nothing like yours!

nice!!! from the profits on this gg4 harvest I'm looking to buy 2 hlg 600, to run my 4x8, as of right now only got half of it running and heat is killing me! very happy to know pics look like that under them! what spectrum did u go with and is it a primary flower light, or do you run both veg and flower with it? I was leaning towards 3000k and using it for flower only since I have a separate veg room!

HLG 600

that's the only dam light I can get that can be bought pre built, and won't break me! but will still beat my normal 1k hps se, the 600 are supposed to replace a 1k hps de! so that's kind of a step up for me since I'm running single ended hps!
I really wanted to run vero cobs, and use a few different spectrums and add in some far reds and stuff! but my luck I'd try to build them, and wind up burning my house down, or at the very least screw up the bulbs and be out tons of cash! plus they are a lot more expensive when compared to the hlg in my opinion, especially for one pre built!

who did yall order from, and what did yall pay? also did u get the dimmer knob?
I've been looking at a site for a while now, two actually, one it cost like 760 maybe, the other is the exact same price with the option to have built and tested for 50 plus the dimmer nob for like 20 or 25 I think! I could very well be off on those numbers but it's close!

and do you guys see those multiple layers of shadow that tiny lil thing is giving off! I was wondering how well the light is spaced for an even coverage of the canopy! and I'm sure those are the shortest ladies in his area! that dam hlg600 is putting out some Hella light! I'd been impressed with what I've read, but haven't really been able to see it in action!
look between the letters (g,a and n) in hooligans, if you don't see what I'm talking about!
do you have a journal or anything I can go snoop through?

I use it in a 4x4 tent. 3000k. I haven’t grown indoors in like 15 years or so give or take and last time I did it was with hps. I’m new to LED and have a little HLG100 4000k I’ll eventually use for clones/starting before getting them into the tent. I’m in the process of getting setup in my new house so I don’t have my fan or anything set up. It’s still all in boxes, I’ll get around to it in another couple months once stuff starts getting bigger and I want the scrubber. But my heat in the tent hovers around 70 and that’s with my basement set at 62. One time when I closed the bedroom door it got to 78...
