I'd like to see what this strain would do outdoors with no restrictions or maybe indoors under 1000 watts with no height restriction.

looks like its going great. hows the ventilation working from the change.
i`m getting a res setup to help ease the work for me. putting together a make shift grow room as well. i`ll post up some pics when its up and running. even thinking about starting a few more seeds. trying to rid my collection of these freebies, way to many singles.

its sitting at 80 with the fan only running medium. I dont think its even opening both dampers yet. Once i max out the fan it should. I think alot of my heat comes from my clone cabinet. I ducted it to one of the intakes to cut down on smell. Those CFLs actually get hot. We will see what happens when I put the 600 HPS in there. The plant dealt with the heat last time.....it was just the reflections doing the damage I think. Hopefully there wont be any of that this time.

i wondered if it had changed things much, i would think so but ya never know. lights you gotta love but all of them generate heat. i`ve only unpacked 1 exhaust fan, so that may tell which size light i run. i think we are going to have a very cold winter this year so i may be able to run a 600w without much a problem. if not the 400 it is. i`am kinda of excited about getting things rolling again.

I could stand to have a higher cfm fan. Im pushing the exhaust up like 15 feet or more into the attic. That might be where some of my problem is but its the most discrete way for me. Got my dropper viles today so i can start making tinctures. got some little half drab and 1 ouncers

you could get one of those cheap booster fans to put in the attic if you needed some extra help. those tincture`s are nice to have around, on this harvest i`am going to work on some topical`s. the pics should speak as to why. i get this reptile skin a few times a year now and it drives me crazy, itchy shit. if i break the skin it takes along time to heal.

Wow dude that's narley! I was just diagnosed yesterday with PsA or psoriatic arthritis. I've had some minor psoriasis for a couple years and a few weeks ago I woke up and couldn't make a fist. Lasted 3 days. The meds they are putting me on have horrific side effects. They messed my brother up pretty good when he was on them for RA. I'm hoping a tincture works or at least helps. What one doesn't get you super high? Green? Or gold?

the list of shit i have going on is way to long, but that skin is from psoriasis accompanied by some sort of blood flow problem(they are clueless). the arthritic stuff i have is a degenerative type in every joint, so moving can be very difficult at times. i`ve all but give up on my meds, it seems every time i get something that works it trashes the rest of my body. the drugs they`ve had me on the last 8 or so years, have shut down just about every gland i have and now i have blood clotting in my legs. that is where the blood flow problem has come from we think, its new as of last year. the arthritic problem i`ve had for 20+ years and the psoriasis i`ve had all my life i guess, nothing like this at all. i find aleve about as good as anything they prescribed for me over the years, for the joints. the trick is to get the swelling down and get things moving and try not to stop till the end of the day.lol!
i think the gold, the green is made with grain alcohol i think.

Went ahead and flipped today. Trimmed all the bottom branches up and maxed the fan out. Temp is up to 86 with the 600hps. I'm stuck with 6" ducting and the only way I czn get more cfm is to go to an 8" fan. Might have to just use reducers to mate it to my duct.

how long is the duct total(exhaust side)? you can put a cheap booster fan on the end if its a long distance or you have a few 90 in the ducting systems.
i ran my light last night to see where the temps were going to be and i`m going to go with a 400 and if i can find the 600 i`ll run it. the ambient was 71 and room temp run 77 so i have some room for play. there is something to be said for bare bulbs when it comes to room temps. it`s a shame you can`t try it.

It's probably 30-35' with like 3 elbows. It's defenetly pushing the limits of a 375 cfm fan. The room temp outside the grow is around 71. I stuck a thermometer to the floor of the grow room and it reads around 77. The other thermometer is mounted near the ceiling and its reading 87. Maybe I will move it down near the plant itself. I checked both intakes and its got really good airflow. I'll probably buy another fan and keep the 6" as a backup. Would my temps be a lot higher without the cool tube?

with the 3 elbows you have to look at it as if your pushing air thru a 3/4`s of a 35` circle. once you have the thermo at plant level i bet the temp is more livable than you thought. you can`t use my setup as a gauge, it totally different. i have a bit more space and i run it totally different. heres a few pics of the way the light is mounted and the exhaust i method i use. you`ll have to pardon the fittings in the floor, i was layout the plumbing in the floor. hopefully moving the plants in tomorrow health permitting. let me know what the new temp is, i`ll bet its closer to 80.

With the thermometer at canopy level the temps dropped to 78 degrees. Guess I was worried about nothin. Saved myself some money. They should go down as it gets closer to winter too cause I generally keep the basement colder.
