The lighting control contactor was purchased at the Hydro store it allows all your lights to come on at the same time and makes the wiring super clean. What you do is all your ballast are wired for 240v you plug all 4 into the ligting control box it has standard 120v outlets 4 total >You bring 240 v to the bottom of the lighting control timer this turns all the outlets into 240v.from there the box has a contactor inside coming out of the contactor is a 120 v standard plug this gets plugged into a cheap $10.00 timer thats plugged into a 120 v outlet when your timer comes on all your lights come on at 1 time and you only need 1 timer.I perfer all my wiring and timers to be wired super clean and have used this system for 13 years at work and have never had one fail the brand is C.A.P it has a picture of a Gloab there is a picture in my first set of pics if you need more pics I can take some for you..So what do you think should I give my girls 2 more weeks and flip them I posted some video and pics a couple post back?:bigjoint:

thats a LOTTA growth for 13 days man ...

they look like they are ready to me. they have pretty well filled in 'shoulder to shoulder' ... so you have acheived the 'sea of green'. Time to start putting some flowers on dem bi-atches. :D and they will still grow vegetatively for another 10-14 days after you flip 'em anyhow. i like the first 'night' to be 36 hours of darkness followed by 12/12.

(I was unable to see the video for some reason .. maybe you could upload it to YouTube...)

My main plant started flowering at 14" 17 days later 23"... My last ones doubled in size and I think strain by strain they all react a little differently but I would usually say they about double in size when the lights switch as an average. I read you will wait until friday, I would probubly wait at least that But I do wanna see these flower already :bigjoint:

After talking to a few people who grow the same strain I will give the girls 2 more weeks:bigjoint:

Your the first to say that can you explain.. Its relly hard to see what the colors of the leaves look like when theres 4000w of HPS light in the picture..

i had the same impression man (just from the 'striations of color on the leaves') ... but then i saw a picture of what they looked like after only 13 days of growth. They simply couldn't grow that fast if they weren't quite healthy / healthy enough.

Can you explain further I have had nothing but green healthy growth when there is 4000 w of light it is hard to tell the real color of the leaves...:idea:

I had the same problem last year.I grew some trainwreck and my leaves were just like yours.im not talking about the color,i am talking about how wrinkly and droopy they are.Something is wrong in your room.What is your temp,humidity and how much air flow do you have in your room?

Pics were taken after they were given a flush with Ro water only. Temp 78 deg humidity 50% 4 circulating fans plus ac unit no in or out vents air being scrubbed every minute can 150 charcol filter . 1500 PPM CO2, Advance nutriance .The wrinkel on the leaves have always been on the new growth on the very top. Shortly after they become deep green and look relly healthy..

Watering has become time consuming I have a 30 gallon trash can with a pump and a wand and today they all got there dose of ADVANCE NUTRIANCE all were watered close to 50 gallons total..They are starting to drink a shit load of water I am watering every other day last week I was watering every 4 days.The 2 JACK RIPPER plants get watered almost every day those bitches can drink.I noticed these 2 plants (JACK RIPPER)are deep green on the leaves except for the very top leaves they are light green what would cause this?

new growth....
You never know… Are the leaves starting to wash board? If so it can be a couple of things, bust most likely new growth.
