The Dawgs 600 Watt SGS-160 Grow

[rwbrock]

Greatbranch I am running into a similar issue in my 2x3x5 tent with the SGS160. I took Dawgs advice and left the flower mode off for first two weeks. I topped for 4 mains and LST them but they took off into flower going from 12/14" to 30/34" now. I have the light about as high as it will go in my tent. I am maintaining about 15" from lower canopy however I have a couple mains that grew a few inches taller, I should have pinched or supercrop prob but didn't so I couple of these guys are sitting 12" away from the light. So far no issues with light being to close or stress I can detect.....my stretch seems to be over now. I am hoping this is ok?? But everything else is going great, just noticed a bit more of stretch using this light next run will def start flower earlier and/or SCROG to help with my limited space. .

I hadn't started having any issues as far as the Area-51 just yet, rwbrock. The Dawg had assisted in a call for help after I barbequed a plant under my Blackstars and HPS. I will be switching the bunch I have under the SGS in a month or so. I was trying to head off any problems prior to having any this go round. I underestimated the power of my cheapies, and didn't want to do the same again. Thanks for the information, though! It will definitely be put to good use.

I want to "Like" your tip, Mr Dawg, but I think the button disappeared. No fiddling with the height until flower. Great for a lazy, old toker like myself!

Hey How Do I Upload Pics Without Attached Files.You Know Just Like We Used too?

 

[greatbranch]

You select "full image" instead of "thumbnail" when you upload - it's like the old inserting inline photos. I monkeyed around with my post to be sure, because it's relatively new to me as well, but you can edit them to be that way after you post as well.

I have to resize mine as well. I don't always do it, but if I have several, I will. Looking VERY nice, Dawg!

Thanks My Brothers However I Use My Windows Program To Rotate And Resize Before I Post Pics And It Still Took 4 Tries To Post Above Pics

Dawg, if you're pretty sure you're gonna post the pics, set the camera to a low resolution first. That's what I do. I take some pics low res, then crank the resolution up into the 4+MB range and take some more. Upload all of them to your computer, (I always create a folder with the correct date then dump all the pics inside) then pick the low res for posting to forum.

To slow stretch I wait until buds set under ~ 4400K before adding the reds.

I have found your thread dawg! My hate-hate relationship with the new forum layout has me visiting RIU not as much as I would like but I'll eventually get used to it. Your grow, as always is amazing. Those LED's are quite impressive.

Download this....

It's what I use and works great. Don't need to run windows photo viewer or ms paint to resize, just right click and be done with it. Creates a new image so your original won't be resized.

I've had the same MacBook laptop for 3 years as my main puter. I still like it better than any Windows machine I've owned. (Maybe Windows 8 is better than older versions, but problems with that OS over a 20 year period left a real bad taste in my mouth. )
