Hi Someguy,
Thanks for the reply in the 250w thread. I'm liking the idea of the parabolic. I do 2x large box modular flat SCROG's but not being able to remove them from the wardrobe would worry me -it gets quite humid in the last 2 wks... i like to move them around and turn the boxes. However, if it gives me extra i'll give it a go:lol: . Have you ever done a yield comparison of straight/curved in your set-up.
Thanks buddy. I'm working my way through yr journal. Good reading!

I haven't had a problem with having to move them. Of course...LOL... I designed it that way though. You could probably do 2 separate screens that curve to make a whole dish. I do not have sufficient data on whether or not the flat vs. parabolic screen produces more. However, I know there is more sq ft of screen and I am able to grow the sides very close to the light. I think you should give it a go and catalog your results. I know my own results have improved/are improving the more times I grow this way.

Thanks for stopping in! :)

Here are some updates. The hps cab got some more screen on the back wall and a curved hood to match the screen. In there now are two Sour-Berry and one Godbud in the center. They have 3 wks in there before the switch to 12/12.

Flouro cab is... I think 4 weeks into flower...LOL

i scored two (2) 400w switchable MH/HPS fixtures today, sockets and all just got to get lamps...
:twisted: FREEBIES :twisted:

so im going to divide my cabinet and hopefully, run two ops at once.
i think i can yield more in the long run turning out two nice alternating crops with HID's than one big one with florou's
but now i got all these damn flouro's and cfl's. maybe i should build another cab and run 3....hmmm

again thanks for the tips ;)

LOL, you caught me! The bigger reflector is helping with light distribution. I had several hot spots like you have and now they are less and penetration seems even. I am looking forward to this round flowering in the cab. Still figuring out how could do a curved flouro grow too. The xtra sq ft would have to increase yield some. :) Thanks for the screen idea on the back wall, I am also looking forward to seeing it in action.

It is all about taking other peoples ideas and combining what works for you and making it your own. If I help one other person it really is worth it. If more and more people just grow their shit then the powers that be wont be able to stop us all.

Peace and love.

Proof is in the puddin... or bud in this case... LOL Anyway, here are some curing shots of my latest.

First four are my unknown bag--seed. It is BOMB! Like OMG smell already and taste... and high. :) I am pulling a clone of it from the flouro cab tonight or tomorrow.

The last four are the Blue Mystic. Produced really well this time. Flouro cab has the last of this and I dont think I am gonna keep it any more. I have had it for a while now. Great night time smoke though. Best round with it so far too.

Here we go:

Beautiful buds man, thanks for the shots.

Did you toss them on a scale yet and get weight?

I got a solid 5 zips. I really want to get closer to the 1/2 lb mark in this cabinet. (just for fun :) )

I think the flouro cabinet will yield about 2 or so like normal. MMMM just in time to be cured for Christmas. :)

Thanks Shack. LOL, unfortunately they in 1 to 1 scale...LOL Still not bad though. I have to save a copy of the bagseed soon. The smell/taste is incredible and the first week of curing isnt even done.
