Yeah, so far I've made smoke and money each time as well. I just hook up my buddies and they'll kick down some cash as a thank you. They really like the edibles I make too so they're always asking when I'm making more. She's just concerned about increasing the electric bill and since she pays it, it would be hard to hide that. I'll get an upgrade, not sure which it will be yet but I'll get one soon.
I like what I saw in someone elses post that uses two 400 watters. The killer results they got is what got me going on wanting an upgrade.

Yeah, right now I'm using 4" ducting with a 120V PC fan to cool the light. I'm going to install the 600 in place of the 400 and see how the fan I already have handles it. Since it runs on 120V it pushes a lot more CFM than the 12V ones. I can't remember what the box said but it has done a good job with the 400 bulb in the Supernova hood. I'm thinking I'll end up swapping the ducting to 6" and either doubling up with another of the same fan (side by side in a rectangular sheetmetal box connected to then 6" ducting) or get a canfan. Which Home Depot 6" duct fan is it your using? I'd like to check into that.

Those really look good man. In pic #4 you can see the main stem on the plant on the right, below the shelf, nice and thick...healthy looking plants.

Can you shoot me a PM with the info on the nutes your using and the schedule? I may want to give that a shot with the clones I'll get frm the seedlings I've got going right now. Not sure yet but I'm very interested.

I just see red X's instead of pics but thanks for the input.

I don't really think it looks too bad though, considering it almost died when in veg as a mother plant and I had to cut the main stem off a couple inches above the soil and leave only a couple branches on it. When I said poor SLH, I mainly meant how it was treated. I think I'm lucky the damn thing didn't hermie.

She recovered well and will give me some nice looking bud afterall. The one plant in flower that I wasn't sure which strain it was has got to be SLH too. I wasn't sure if it was SLH or the Church but the Church mother I had didn't have leaves like these. These leaves are identical to the SLH plant and it's starting to smell like the SLH plant too. It's got poor node spacing and it doesn't have a lot of leaves but the buds on it are starting to look really good.

Picture 052.jpgPicture 051.jpgPicture 050.jpgPicture 048.jpgPicture 047.jpgtook pics this afternoon things are filling in this is a strain that requires time & patience i believe quality is definatly very good as my thin leaf outdoor one is smelling really sweet i call it #1 & the ones in room [fat leaf] are called #2 the one in the 4x4 r/w block is #3 which im gonna clone soon the single plant [not budding] is #3 which im gonna clone next & could be best yielder of the bunch &#1 [budding] smells really good but yield is gonna be low & #2 in room & main grow is moving right along you cant reach the full potential of this strain in 1 grow it truely needs to be developed over a period of time ...we'll se if there is gonna be a second round for me:clap:

Picture 058.jpgPicture 057.jpgPicture 056.jpgPicture 055.jpgPicture 054.jpghey dez i found the box my fan came in #db206 250cfm cost $28.97 the reducer cost $6.68 heres pics of the next generation of slh. & the #3 pheno has yet to be cloned but might end up as the ''keeper '' pheno im developing the whitewidow-x- big bud strain i supply 3 other growers with babies & one of them has a delivery service so a ''cash-croper'' strain is just a sound financial decision at this point as you can see ive transfered my clones into rockwool blocks which allows them to grow & develop until mu current grow finishes or theyre shipped out somewhere else in the summer time i set them outdoors to veg as sunlight is free i give my clones 16 hrs light a day this helps prevent them from going into bud cycle when placed outdoors may through sept.

My room is now 35"X47" after putting the mylar covered foampanels in there. My tub is 24X44 inside and roughly 26X46. I figured I'd place the pots in 2 rows of four with them touching the sides andget the tub centered as best I can. You think the 600 is going to light that good enough?

Either that or I'll leave the tub where it is, arrange the pots a little different and run a couple autos in soil next to the tub on the door side.

I put the cooltube together last night but can't find the tools I need to cut nice round holes for the bigger ducting. I want to get it installed today if possible but I'm not about to buy another jig saw or can light holesaw.

I found a bunch of places to get a fan like that online but have yet to find one that I can just pick up. The hydro shop near me has some kind of like that but are either twice the price or half the CFM rating. 6" is only 120CFM
