The light did seem pretty good but look at the top left of this picture

The back left plant still looks good but the central cola has stretched a fair amount more than all the other plants. I think it was because it is positioned behind the socket for a central lamp. From the front of the globe i think the light would more freely travel then go backwards behind the socket- although it obviously still does and probably in a good amount. With the 2x 400 i now have a lamp just about right over the top of it and to the front end of the lamp. The lamps are back to back so there is probably a duller band right in the middle, but i actually want more emphasis on the outer 4 plants and may just have 2 single cola plants in between them next time since they are just crowded anyway.

Heat is a bitch but i want light both at the front and back evenly with just a strip in between sacrificed

I cant exactly work out what your saying .. but from the looks of your pic you've got a decent sized hood way bigger than the budget ones i use so the spread should not be a problem. Its only one plant that stretched? I try and manage my canopy by bending any tips that grow to high ,LST helps alot with tall growing strains -mine were cheese and they had an even canopy.I'll post some pics for you to see what i mean. Are your plants in a scrog? If not try turning your pots around .

To much heat brings way to many bad problems imo, not trying to preach here but you have the equiptment set how it should be .

They were topped above the second node and spread out manually. I would scrog but i rent so can have inspections on short notice- so need a set up i can pull apart and hide.

What I meant to try to explain again is the if you look at a lamp side on it looks something like this:


In front of the lamp>> (----600wglobe----|socket|| <<behind the socket (less light than in front?)
|||||

^^in front and below lamp^ ^under the lamp^^ ^^below and behind socket^^


When i use 2 lamps there is no "behind socket" or "below and behind" except for a thin strip between the lamps (which are back to back) which i'm prepared to sacrifice.. even tho light should still be good enough there.

understand?

Heres a quick pit stop from the grow..

I've re-potted most of the seeds execpt 1 Ed & 1 jtr (stunted killer) cause there still waitin to show to show sex. I've taken cutts of all plants in the room except the Dpq and dogs they're a bit small after they re vegged.
Temps are ok .ph and ec are on spot 1.2 ph 5.7-6.0
I think that bio + from from vitalink is spot ok , all plants felt tight when repotting like the was more roots in the center, plus seen some micro activity on the bottom of one of the stakes . Gave them a molasses tea with a drop of superthrive..

I think your making it all to confusing , theres no gaps if your light spread equals your exact measurement of your tent.
600watt -1.2m spread your tents 1.2m .
Postion your light centrally and you have no problems mate .. But this is just imo.. go on as you are if your not sure ..

Or even add low wtt cfls for side lighting , i just dont think 2 x 400 is cost effective bro, unless your gonna bump up your fan the heat alone is reason enough let alone the extra money spent a electric.

Cost doesn't matter- i pay 90 or 100 bucks a quarter of an ounce which lasts me and my partner like 3 or 4 days.. oh yeah and it's just bag seed re-grown over and over so it's all fucking rubbish grown by hillbilly's who believe shit like putting a seed in a mango will make a mango strain.

Heat, yeah that could be an issue but weirdly enough it seems to be just as hot as before when it was just 1x 600, and even though the light penetration isn't as far I also have the globes closer to the tops.
I get where you are coming from, it would be good if i could run 2 tents side by side to see the difference but obviously can't

Oh right and side lighting was actually my first thought but LED's are really expensive unless you get something weak and cfl would take more room- and what are they like for heat? Obviously not as much as a 400w hps but there isn't much room for them on the sides so they would be just about touching the leaves.

Pandan.. If moneys not an issue get a aircooled Magnum hood then you can have your 600wtt closer to the yours buds almost touching , you'll thank yourself for it later.. Apart from that mate i cant really say anything else ..

I love when Fox gets slammed! This guy roasted this Fox reporter and served him up on a platter. So much that they won't air it.

They think it's a bunch of dumb, pot smoking hippies that don't know what they want. They're relating it to the Tea Party movement and it's nothing like that, they'll soon find out. The mayors served notice to clear the park by 7am for "cleaning" and the occupiers aren't leaving. They're planning to do a human chain, linked arm in arm, surrounding the park, in multiple rings. It sounds like we're in for a showdown.

I'll show you our dickhead, capitalist, TV bozo getting chewed up by a man of much greater intellect.

Morning everyone,

Pandan, I must say, I have to agree with Dr Green Dre (who knows his onions). In that space a 600 is far more efficient than 2 400's, even if you think the light spread is better, heat will reduce the effect of that. And if your airflow is right then 1 600 should def be cooler than 2 x400's. But then you got to rock with what makes you feel comfortable. One thing you see about growers is that they tend to learn by doing things themselves, even though lots of other say, do XYandZ.

Doobiebrother, looking sweet in the Doobie fox hole. DOG looks like it could do with some grooming though.

I loved the vid clip, that guys flow was super tight!!!!!!

Saw loads of birds flying South this morning. Also saw my breath for the first time in a while so the cold is setting in. It's Friday and it's time to snip some tingalings.

Hope you all have a great day/night/morning/weekend.

Peace, DST

Aaaah, that was CLASSIC. I especially loved the end when he told them he certainly wouldn't be coming back, lmfao. He flamed that guy so much it's not true.

Totally missed your update Doob. Those girls are all looking nice and healthy. How's it smelling? Mmmm, Mmmm, goooood I bet.

Good morning D. It's getting like that here too. Went out yesterday and grabbed some pretty decent fall shots. I know what you mean about buddies flow. It's pretty hard to trip up when you know what your talking about and it's the truth.

Thanks everyone for you input on my hermied plants, appreciate it. To answer your question D, no I'm not keeping them going, got more important things to do, like plant a couple of Dog seed.

Morning , D :-)
Yes, my poor DOG had a rough start, thanks to me :dunce:.
The yellow leaves are some of the original 3-blade ones, but they aren't quite yellow enough to prune so I left them on to collect light as long as possible.
It's catching up to the others, but it will just take longer to fill out. Probably behind by 7 to 10 days of development, but the bud sites are starting to come alive.
I still have two DOG seeds that I'm holding in reserve, so I plan on giving them a much better start in life next time.
;-)

And yeah, duchie: starting to smell spicy & musky. :-)
Though with my closed ventilation setup now eliminates 90% or more of the aroma, it still smells great up close under the nose.
And what kind of plant is that red-colored jobbie?
Nice, pics, too!

Isn't Autumn/Fall just one of the nicest times. Beautiful pics Duchie, really picking up an atmosphere from those photos. MAkes me want to put on a nice warm jacket, wrap up in a scarf and go for a long walk with a joint, lol. Well it's Autumn in my cab for some of it so I best get a wriggle on, plants that need cutting wait for no man....eh, hold on, actually they do wait, THEY WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!

Ah Mr Doob, I am glad the Cam is back on line, I was a tad concerned when it wasn't up the other day. I got another day of reverse cleaning in my area. The street sweeper is out there Beeping away like a mad thing...thew whole day. Time for my Bose Quiet comfort 15 me tinks.......

Have a great one and I'll pop some pics in when I am finished chopping.
Peace, DST

Actually the pics are deceiving. It's been in the low to mid 20's all week. Too warm for a jacket still but that's changing real quick. I'm still waiting for the geese to show. They gather by the hundreds just a couple of hundred meters from my home, in a creek/wetland area. They're usually here by now.

Just going to throw a couple more pics up before I hit the hay. Late night for me tonight.
