Hey guys, week 6 day 5.







Starting to pack on the weight, branches are beginning to lean and I will need a few more stakes on the
larger stalks I missed.

It's the same as it ever was.

Eco Elite 1500 GPH submersible pump with a watering wand. I have it timed out to 15 seconds per gallon.

I mix up 20 gallons for 20 plants. Each plant gets 15 seconds and it is pretty spot on. I have a res that has about 40
gallons of RO topped off at all times with a 20 gallon res to move water in to and mix nutes and apply... etc.

I let nutes mix for about a half hour and try to feed as soon as the lights come on. Takes 5 minutes to apply with my equipment. =D

Question...I understand your reason for using 600w bulbs, but since you are using 2 mh and 1 hps have you ever thought about using 400w cmh bulbs?

400w lights just wouldn't put out the light I'm looking for, This is about a 6x8 area I'm covering and I'm actually debating stepping
the middle light up to a 1000W with two 600's on the outside.

makes sense...then again what about 5-400w for 2000w? or 6 for 2400w?

When growing in smaller spaces it can be economical and more efficient to do as you say, and run higher numbers of
lower wattage bulbs. Although in my case I have more area to cover and the amount of hoods/bulbs/ballasts I would
have to purchase in order to cover the area does not save me money or up my yield. Also, spending the dollar to basically
retrofit my grow room by installing magnetic ballasts when I am a huge advocate of electronic/digital seems pointless.
The light would look good and would be very evenly distributed but it is not worth the trouble.

What bulbs are you blooming with? I heard you mention that you were going to use SunMasters earlier in the thread. Have you used them before and if so, how did they perform? I am thinking about blooming with these bulbs instead of the Hortilux.
