Yea, for the money, I can't complain. Not to shabby... A see through window would be nice so that i don't let the stink out every time I take a peek. That gives me an idea though.. I may cover the side window with clear plastic from the inside..
Hell yeah, I have an Apollo ballast/hood to go along with the tent I have no complaints so far
Yea, the apollo setups I saw on Amazon were a nice deal... $150 gets someone going...
On the side of my tent I have a very large zip up access panel. There is no mesh over that area...
I have messed with every light. I finally upgraded to a 400w hps with air cooled hood. I am glad I did. Cooling the space is so much easier. CFL's run warm and it's difficult to capture all the heat and vent it out. I even had two 150w hps and with the 400w my tent stays much cooler. Normally I run 2-3 degrees above ambient temps.
Yea, but there is always that desire to do better
I was at a collective today and looking at their buds. They're so awesome looking. Rock hard and smell great. I'm almost to that point, but not quite. We'll see how this round turns out.
What do you think about running clones? When I buy seed it's hit or miss as to the quality and genetics. For instance I paid top dollar for Critical Jack seeds ( A Sativa) and I popped one seed. It looks more like an afghani.. I was thinking that I can get clones from collectives for less than the price of seed and they would hopefully be quality genetics.
Heck ya. You're fortunate enough to be in an area where you have access to clones. For many of us, we don't have that option except for taking our own cuts from whatever is growing.
Yeah I know speed is different for everybody but buying them ready to plant and taking them and waiting for roots are 2 different games for sure. I mostly suck ass at cloning and do almost everything from seed. I always say, "Thank god for the seedbanks"
I think when it comes down to it and I had to pick one it would be one of the very first I ever ran and thats the Herijuana strain from Sannies Shop. These days he has it in a femenized version too. Its got knock out potency but its easy to grow. Not only are the nugs tight and hard, it seems like the whole plant has a good stiffness to it and I like that. Its also resistant to mold that I have to be real careful of.
I have cloned before.. Pain in the ass.. If I had space and lower electricity cost I would likely run a veg room with a few moms, but I just can't do it here. I am thinking of buying rooted clones.. It took me like 8 weeks to veg my current plants and that seems too long. I feel like I need to top them a few times so I get a nice even canopy, but maybe I am done with that. I may just veg for three weeks then flower..
