Unfortunately not. Im debating on ditiching the mover or buying a new one. I think I need another 1000w and no mover. Anyway. I will grab the 400w MH and throw it in a hood of some sort. I think next round im gonna hang a bare bulb 1000w in the middle of a circle of trees. I just want to pick my strain and understand what it likes. My portable AC is set at 76 right now, so maybe I will just drop it down. I can keep the grow room at 65 with the AC if neccasary.
Am i doin all right here TLD?
I really want to learn and get the most out of this grow.

I must say Wonder things are looking real good in that flower room seems to filling up nice. That portable AC must do wonders with controlling the temps in there.....Very nice keep it up

everything looks solid man hope everything works out in your favor

I think it will, Im just wanting to lose the relfector and go vert

First off, got to say those plants look fucking great. Keep it up and those are gona be monsters. I just got back from vacation, so I'll post a answer for the clone tub in a minute.

Thanks Integra. THis grow has only gotten this far due to the RIU members. You know who you are. I am learning so much, and it is showing in the flowering room. Thank you everyone.

I say ditch the mover and got another light either a 400 or a 600. If you got the money go with the 600.

IMO.... Learning is the most valuable thing to get out of this grow...... if you just got another 1000W you could increase your area...... but everything sounds good.......

One thing I really wanted to point out

you were talking about switching to vert grow....... dude, its a huge switch, a lot of things change..... variables switch in some areas to work for you, and other areas creating more work for you, or working against you...... why not get the best of both worlds? The BEST grow I have Seen with mine own eyes, was 1000W centered over rectangle tables, surrounded on four sides by vertical hanging 250W HPS (in between tables that are about two feet apart, rectangle tables, ebb & Flow drain to waste FIM'ing and Scrogging, and LST'ing on netting stretched between the tables)....... they are pulling almost 3.5 lb.'s per table, 20-25 plants per table (depending on strain), plants getting as tall as 3.5 ft, avg'ing around 3 zips per plant!

Ahhh, nothing like a good read. Took me a while.

Blunder, those are looking just awesome man. I really like how you are open to input from people. Is that DJ's blue or DP?

TLD, you already know whatsup, good to see you lurkin'!

+rep for all worthy parties

I like that idea TLD. What about those 20-40 48" flourescent fixtures I can grab. I could stack those all over the place. Im thinking........

Im not sure what you mean?????

for veg?

I could use flouro for veg and add 2 400ws to the flowering room as side lighting. That is starting to sounds sweet. My veg box is 4X4 and could def handle at least 20 tubes of flouro. maybe 30. then 2 400s? Im thinking that.

Honestly I don't really know. The strain came from a caregiver in a different time. I wish it was DP. Im thinking not. I got 3 phenos of the blueberry, that I am tracking and will probably kill off the other 2 phenos after harvest. The title of this strain when given to me was "Blueberry the 3rd"

I raised my light up and temporarily placed it stationary, Light coverage was much better, according to my meter. What do you guys think ditch the mover, and add the 400ws soon.

yep, thats what I think

how far into flowering?

33 days. Got the light stationary. Got 1 400w MH fixture to add in for now, Probably get a conversion bulb and another 400w and conversion bulb soon.

today is day 31 for my ladies flowering...... you didn't really start flowering THAT much sooner than I..... just a couple days

make it happen captain

I know each circuit is 15amps, but I dont know how they are divided around the house.

Circuit 1: all upstairs outlets : 950w AC, and a 400w MH, Veg tubes
Circuit 2: half the outlets down stairs; 1000w HPS
Circuit 3: Downstairs; empty

WOuld the washer and dryer be on their own circuit, I may be able to use for the 2 400ws?
Could you maybe draw a lil diagram of the light pattern setup or explain it more thoroughly.

I have a breaker panel in my house with the switchs and what not, the rest of the shit is outside

If you dont have a mh in there, some people like to add one to increase resin production and prevent stretching. Just a thought since conversion bulbs are so expensive, have short lives and low lumens compared to the actual hps bulb.

I will probably start with MH and then decide whether to buy conversions, or buy a 1k. I already have 400w MH bulbs and what not

I am still hoping to get at least 8 ounces out of the deal. They need start bulking up. THey respond after feedings with growth.....Hope it continues
