So for the last 2 days I upped the N and started low dosage of Silica Blast with high dosage of Liquid Karma not exceeding 10ml/gallon and spraying ALG-A-MIC before lights off and the plants are responding very well. I changed the light setting to 600W just right now and I will be watching it very closely to make sure my plants can handle such a big light. Stay tuned.

That's a nice bad boy bulb, 1000W...ooooh yesssss sirrrrr. What kinda ballast are u using?

I dont know much about it, but it's a Sunlight Supply. Switchable HPS/MH. Not sure if they still carry it anymore though lol. A buddy of mine gave them to me a couple years ago b/c he wasnt using them...

That's an old school ballast, :)....get an e-ballast to compliment your bad boy 1000W bulb.

Lol

E-ballast? Is that the same thing as Elelctronic Ballast, or Digital Ballast??

What's the difference? I've slightly looked into getting Lumateks, but not much at all, so I don't know much about them. :mrgreen:

Features:
  • More lumens generated per watt of electricity consumed - Lumatek ballasts have increased efficiency over magnetic ballasts. They lose fewer watts from the power supply to the lamp. This is a power factor of 99%+. The high frequency output results in low power loss.
  • Fast start-up they reach full brightness quickly.
  • Completely silent.
  • Small compact design.
  • Produce less heat.
  • Cut-off circuitry cuts off when a short is detected for ultimate safety.
  • Fully interchangeable - Lumatek ballasts can light both HPS and MH bulbs.
  • Compatible with Smart Volt power cords.
  • 120/240 Volt.
I have 2 Lumateks and I love it.

So here's where I'm at with my grow. The maximum temperature in my closet with 400W light and the door shut is 83 degree with co2 on is perfect setting for any plant. BUT with setting the light to 600W the temperature raises to 93-95 degree. So from this point on I’m stopping the CO2 and bumping the lights up to 600W and lowering the hood. This will keep the plants compact and bushy.

Now 2 weeks before turning to 12/12, this is where I start pushing my nutes and wait for plants reaction. Remember when I say coco is the best growing medium along with smart-pot?...well this is why…you can see within 1-2 hours if plants like the nutes or not. If they don’t, it’s easy to fix. Just feed them with plain 5.8 ph RO water and the problem IS solved. There are a lot of discussions about drainage and this container and that container with how many holes u should have and so forth , I say fuck it, if you’re looking for hassle free containers go with smart pots, BOTTOM LINE.

Ummmm what else????....can’t think of any other helpful hints. FUCKING A.D.D., MIX IT WITH INDICA = UBER STONER.

NO SECRETS IN THIS HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy.

Both plants are topped and trimmed 2 days ago:eyesmoke:
