Yeah I'm having a great time with this light. I would love it if i had 6 of these lights, could have perpetual scrogs going and they are a lot of fun to maintain. Haha the animal attacks aren't too bad, it's been a while so i lose one from a bad mistake on my part here and there. One event the...

I do like that they are adding the UVB bulbs though, it at least means they are watching the market and staying on top of things.

Cant help you with the difference there. At the time i bought my 120 it was the cheapest light he had. It's still listed on the site, only the first paragraph refers to his new light. My light draws 180w so I'm told, though i haven't measured it yet. I don't think i will be selling my lights...

it wouldn't attach, here is the pic. Dont mind the temperature dial, its wickedly off. I might have dropped it or something.

Good call about the cats being dangerous. I will post up a quick tally for you; Number of plants killed: Cats: 7 Ferrets: 14 Me: 5 So the cats are definently something to watch for, but a ferret can destroy your crop in about 3 minutes. The bugs and all is something to be cautious about...

I update the cab slightly. I covered the wood sides (standard particle board slightly sealed) with mylar on both sides. The door and the back wall are painted white. It seems to have increased light, but no idea really. All the little things add up in the end, why sacrifice needlessly?

UPDATE TIME! Busy day tomorrow, so a day early for week four. Enjoy the pics! the girl just got a drink of compost tea and nutrient, hopefully i dont burn her haha. She is frosting up already which is definently a good sign. Im very happy with this AK48, my last ones were fighting me the whole...

Ok so tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day... So pics a day early! this essentially marks the 4th week of 12/12. The plant is forming nicely and is even frosting up already. This grow is shaping up to be a solid round indeed. Much much better than the last ak48 batch i had(was temperamental...

I bought a cheap 16$ pump and clear tubing that i just plop in and pump the water out into a bucket. Works well for me.

The problem with this is you unbalance the nutes. If the plant takes up a lot of one nutrient but less of another and you keep topping it off with more, you could overdose one nutrient that can cause others to be locked out as well. Ultimately it can just lead to problems. I would top off...

Looking good. A bit crowded. But should turn out good for sure

Those plants are looking great!

Looks great for sure. Might want to find a screen to put in there, definently going to want scrog in there. Check my journal for a similar setup.

I just read a review on a 600w cmh. Unfortunently the person reviewing it(a magazine contributor) didn't know anything about cmh and was only using it for veg. I couldn't say how they compare to the 400w ones. I use a 400cmh and a 600 hps, but would love a 600w cmh that was just like the 400...

Have you uncovered what the consensus is on removing the glass? I know it could increase light, and I even feel my glass is smudged on the inside. My only reservation is I don't want to seriously alter airflow direction. I should shoot mike an email, but have you heard much?

What do those 100w deals go for? The blackstar lights in general seem to perform well, especially for their price. Personally I don't like Gotham hydro, kinda a shady business.

Sounds like a plan. I have read that there are perhaps 3 generations of the 2011 model, and the gen 1 was the most problematic, while 3 was better. Gen 2 was apparently a sweet spot that used 3diode chips as opposed to the gen 3 1 diode chips. I am not sure if there is a gen 4 yet. All the...

How about temps? Purple can be a byproduct of low temps, this happens more common with LEDs because of reduced temps. Let us know temps and then maybe consider a mg deficiency, what water do you use?

IMO its a pain in the ass to trim dry buds, the flakes get everywhere and the leaves don't bend to your will, the finished product looks worse. If you are in a dry climate, leaving leaves on can help prolong the drying process, which makes for a better end result.

Lol he has a bachelors in botany and yet he claims one 26w cfl per plant. There really needs to be a governing body that just slaps the shit out of people when they lie out their ass.
