Hey guys, lemme ask you a question. Im getting a $700 return from the tax man this year and Im trying to make it count in my growroom. Right now, Im running one 600W. Ive been trying to think of ways to improve my current situation. Ive thought of adding another 600W light, or spending the money on a C02 regulator and bottle, or buying a tri-meter so I can watch the res situation more closely. I would love to hear your ideas of what would make the biggest impact on my growroom.

I have a Lowryder ready tonight, it's out of a pack of mixed lowryder seeds, so your guess is as good as mine as far as strain goes, nut these seeds are a joy to grow. bongsmilie

If it were me, I'd go with the second light, and begin perpetual.

Ok, So now the question is. Should I get a $200 8 tube T-5 to vedge under. Or a 400whps? Can I run a 400whps without air-cooling it? could a 4'' fan cool it ?

Def a light. Dpeends if you want to increase the light, or add a veg side. But for yield improvement I woudl say a light.

Quite strange looking leaves on the lowryder, Dirtnap. Reminds me a bit of a plant Don.s growing.

I agree, 2nd light.

If you are going for a veg light, go for a 400MH or somthing like that. A 400 could probably be cooled with a 4inch fan, depends on the pwoer of that though I guess.

Thanks for your input guys. now I gotta figure out if a 400 w can run alongside a 600w on a 15 A breaker. I live in apartments, and I dont want to overload my box. I guess what Im saying is , I want to beef up my lighting situation. I would add another 600W to my flower room for a total of (2) 600w HPS and add a 400W or a 8bulb t-5.

Im interested to know. We all know that if possible I should go with the MH for vedge, but would it really a horrible thing to vedge under t-5 and flower under 2 600's?

Would the plant be that affected by the T-5 Vs a Mh? I want to build a 4'x5' grow tent vedge area in my bedroom. I would go with a 400w MH if I didnt have to cool it with a fan, I know my 6'' vortex makes a lot of noise, and its hanging... I dont think I could sleep with a 4'' vortex going in the room. Do you think my 6'' fan can cool my 600 and go through about 20ft of insulated ducting, and still be strong enough to cool a 400w? I dunno, I really want to bump this grow up, but I dont have the experience to make these calls.

Hey everyone, I am finally back on after taking care of some buisness after my trip. DST thanks Had a blast. If you ever make it over here I will return the favor. Well my friend took care of my babies while i was gone. I just started the 12 on and 12 off. I just want to get this bag seed done so I can start the real stuff. I think most of my problem has been bad soil. I seem to have an issue with mushrooms growing along with my plants. (not the good ones)Plus noticed that I have some little friends in my room too. Oh well if it aint one thing it is another. I will be glad when this one is finished.

the mushrooms are because of your soil

i had the same issue happen last grow cuz my buddy decided to pick up some cheap shitty kellog soil. STAY AWAY FROM KELLOG

You can put a six hundred and a four hundred on a 15a breaker, you can also use your t-5 for vegging and then put them under the big lights. As for the fan, that's a lot of ducting and two lights on a four inch fan might not be enough. I run one six inch fan for two six hundreds.

Thanks. I thought that might be part of my problem. I just went to Lowes here in town and got the best i could find. After much research there is a good nurcery not to far from my house with Foxfarms soil. I plan to make a trip in the next couple of days to pick me up some good soil.

I got a couple of shrooms in my coco once, but this ain't cheap stuff!!! I wonder if spores have got into your grow cab.

another 600w would be good, also a interesting approach is lights high in UV rays like tanning bulbs studies are showing that plants produce more trichomes to protect the foilage when exposed to it. CO2 is good if you got everything else dailed in perfect. hows your smell? thats always a great place to improve on security is #1!

MistaKris · Apr 16, 2010

i know it is a bit of a small area for a 600 but i am getting great lighting and my climent is rocking so it works great.

bluemurder · Apr 16, 2010

hey dudes. thinking of making a octagan grow room. 600w hps, and a 250w hps for veg, with ozone in the inlet, a really complicated carbon filter, possibly ebb and flow. thoughts?

I would get a 250w MH conversion bulb or something for veg... keep the stretch down.

Don't know what you are doing with ozone either. Or what the need for a really complicated carbon filter... simple ones work just fine.

some hps pics of my shishkaberry plants that are 36 days into flower and they are addung weight every day. i wish i could keep this strain but i have no seeds of it and no clones i can keep once i give my card away, plus i cant find any seed breeders who sell shishkaberry seeds. if any one knows who sells them let me know please. these plant are extrememly fast flowering plants and very easy to grow and clone ang they are forgiving at times. also the small plant is a clone of the shishkaberry plants i flowered it when it showed its first 1/4 inch root and now its doin great much better then i thought. i think i will get at least 5 gs off my baby plant :bigjoint:

I'd say maybe even 7 grams bro. :mrgreen:

I plugged my 1000w in today. I think I can still not see the place where I looked at the bulb. Oops.

DST.... I LOVE what you are doing. Nice you got the sign off from the Mrs.

peace to the watters.

mcpurple · Apr 16, 2010

thanks jig i may even get more who know. she has only been flowering for about 2 weeks now. and some times when i look at my 600 thr same thing happens to me i see a bright light bulb for the first few mins after i looked. i need some eye glasses for the room

MistaKris · Apr 16, 2010

You can always save the lower half and force her with back into veg and keep her as a mother
