It looks like it would cost you similarly, if your LEDs actually draw 300w each.

Operating Parameters
Universal Input Voltage ~ 90 vac to 305 vac
Universal Input Frequency ~ 47 Hz – 63 Hz
Input Current ~ 602 watts / 5.05 amps @ 120.9 vac/ 59.9 Hz/ .602 kW h

I wish I had started with seedlings just because each plant was a different height when I got them and now many of the shorter ones in the back are being shaded by the large tops which are growing closer to the light...

So my friend, you will be very excited to hear, that in a 10 week flower, you can run Shooting Powder for 3 weeks. This may not be news to you if you have been paying attention to the feed chart, but I don't ever grow anything that takes longer than 9 weeks, so I've never looked at the 10 week flower formula.

If you can, move all your tallest plants to the outside, and your smallest plants to the inside of the tray. that way the hot spot in the middle of the lamp illuminates the smaller plants as much as the bigger ones are. You may want to consider getting another light so you can have them at different heights. Can you shake Santa down for any more?

I actually looked it up and it says i can run the shooting powder for 4 weeks two weeks with 1 packet and 2 weeks with two packets : )

little less stressed out : )


not possible to move these girls around... too small of a room and they are lanky and i am clumsy, probably would end up breaking them... If i had just nine big ones I would be fine but my friend added 6 cloned in between the others and those are allwoven throughout the grow...



Not sure how to bend that big one into the light too afraid of breaking it.

I feel if i add mre light i will have too much heat... I already have to leave the door open a little in order for the temp to stay around 85... This makes it imposible for my co2 tank to last me more than a week : (

Niiiiice, you can try tightening a bit more every day until she is bent down in there. Don't want to bust that konger off just yet.

Yeah, just a little every day, try to get the string around the stem, not the nug, it can cause damage, which can cause rot. But slow and steady man, you got the right idea. How do you have your intake fan set up? Or is that an out take? Do you have it blowing all the time, or only at certain times while the co2 is off? I bet if you play with it enough, and get a good source of fresh air from down low you can get your temps down below 80. It's fracking cold outside.

Dude, let me just say, even though it's your first grow, even though you threw your grow room together, you are pulling off a excellent first grow. I think with a little more room set up next round, and using less than 9 plants, and your going to blow that closet up with nugs. I think 9 is still a lot, but if you think you can rock it; rock it.

On another note: I've never used shooting powder at full strength, the idea has always scared me. Let me know how it goes.

I have done some more research and i believe my plants might not actually be alaskan thunderfuck lol

You see the man they came from is illusive and i dont know who he is... the cups they came in had the words white russian crossed out on them.. Did a little research and these plants look more like white russian than they do alaskan thunder fuck

that fan is for the filter that filters out the smellll... I have a large fan in the back corner on the floor pulling the air from the floor and circulating it back up to the top... I wanted to try and lift up all the fallen CO2... not cold outside lol its about 80 degrees right now

Good call, I see now its wrapped into the cola. Def try to train it by the stem. And very well said Jozikins...

You're dialing it in and your next grow will be even better with fewer plants and a more controlled canopy height.
