Kush Groove. The Black Star

I will be definitely be calling him tomorrow. I have been dealing with HTG as of late, their LEDs are decent, the 90 watt one has
an unbeatable price, and it does work well. It is the one I am using right now. But their bigger ones are just too expensive. $650
for the 300 watt. Too much. $150 for 90 watts isn't bad though...

I am actually thinking about the Blackstar 600 watt, for $599. I am going to see if I can find some reviews or grow journals on
the 600.
Do your research on the 600, I heard it uses a 2w chipset and a lower power draw than the 500w. I would ask Victor to confirm this..

Definitely will research before spending $600. By looking at Gotham's website, they don't seem to be the type to be lying and
trying to compare their LEDs to HIDs 5Xs their wattage. Just like my 90 watt LED from HTG is supposed to compare to a 400 watt
HTG (which it certainly does not). I'm sure Gotham will be more honest than that with me.

The 600s do use 2 watt LEDs.

Great company, had a small problem with a unit. They had a new one on the way that day, with a return label to return the other. So no down time. No questions asked, love it. I also love the results of their lights, especially for the price. Looking great Kush, keep it up!

I just ordered the 240 watt Blackstar today. $270 shipped. Can't beat that. If I like it, I'll be ordering a few of the 500 watt units.

The two trainwrecks,which are pretty short, seem to be lagging behind just a bit.....4 weeks to go and these girls will all be chopped down on the same day so hopefully it all works out

You may have a painful decision ahead. The trainwrecks will likely not be ready. If it were me I would plan to harvest only the mature plants in 4 weeks. The others will likely need a couple more weeks with lights at 6 to 8" above the now lower canopy. Cutting the trainwrecks early is a sad waste if almost all of the trichs are still clear.

So you won't be growing in your new place? First thing I took to my new place was the lights and plants when I had to move during mid grow. Just moved everything during dark cycles. The girls didn't miss a beat.

Ill definitely be growing in my new place. i may have to get a tent this time around, which is cool...........and my setup isnt going anywhere mid grow, that would be a total disaster to even attempt

Hi Kush, been looking on the net and the only Trainwreck feminized seeds that I find are from the greenhouse seed co and they are saying 8 - 9 weeks so maybe they will be ready by then, I hope so :-)

You could try TGA's Qrazy Train, not fem'd or pure TW but crossed with it and available now. You could almost have them flowered out by the time those Greenhouse seeds arrive at your door in 9 weeks + 2 weeks shipping

Bummer about the move Kush, so are you gonna just move some clones to the new spot? Or are you still trying to set up a moving game plan? Black trashbags layered 2 or 3 over the tops of your girls will allow you to keep their dark cycle.

After this harvest im gonna start from scratch, my new setup should be a little bit nicer

Taking a couple of lumps during a move is no big deal. Besides the TW may be far enough along to be good smoke by harvest time anyway. Fingers crossed but succesful grow regardless.

yeah but im not too worried, im sure the fire og and haze will make up for the the possible shortcomings of the trainwreck............especially the fire og...she's gonna be amazing
