I am happy you got Ghost. It will be a favorite for sure.train her if you want bigger yields otherwise its medium yields. but quality and taste omg you will see. Enjoy her I do. favorite of all who taste her. doc your plant is ready for hanging tomorrow i think.Looking forward to some Ghost:
Cheers,
Mo

This is what I like to hear. What diameter is your 190cfm? And how loud is the air movement?

The Ultimate Grow House
Forget the greenhouse! This yellow and PURPLE house could solve food shortages by boosting plant growth with LED lights
Published: 06:28 EST, 24 February 2015 | Updated: 07:30 EST, 24 February 2015
British scientists have developed sunlight-free greenhouses that could help boost food production in towns and cities.
The next-generation houses use specific wavelengths of light to boost the growth, taste and even the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
Experts discovered that plants do not require the full spectrum of colours contained in ordinary daylight to grow and have created a tailormade colour palette of red and blue light that is required to enhance the whole process of food production.
Psychedelic: The new greenhouses use specific wavelengths of light to boost the growth, taste and even the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. The purple light is a specially calculated mixture of red and blue LEDS that makes plants thrive
Biologists at the Stockbridge Technology Centre (STC) found that plants exposed to a carefully calculated cocktail of red and blue light thrived at their state-of-the-art 10,000 square feet (929 square metre) research facility near Selby in North Yorkshire.
They discovered they are in control of the growing habits of plants and are able to increase yield and even boost flavour, using coloured bulbs.
LEDs also have the added advantage of giving off little heat, enabling the plants to be stacked in racks for added production.
Currently only half of food eaten in the UK is grown here, but the technology means that fruit could be produced using colourful LEDs in disused buildings and abandoned warehouses, instead of being imported from sun-drenched countries like Spain and Italy, for example.
Scientists hope the indoor greenhouses could be set up in populated urban areas, not only saving on space but allowing produce to get onto shop shelves much quicker, meaning that it would be fresher.
Project leader Dr Martin McPherson, who is science director of the STC, said: ‘Rather than having relatively short seasons for growing crops you could grow them all year round, and there's not much you can't grow once you've set up a facility with these LED lights.

Urban farm of future? Experts discovered that plants do not require the full spectrum of colours contained in ordinary daylight to grow, and have created a tailormade colour palette required to enhance the whole process of food production. Because of this, urban farms could be set up inside derelict warehouses, for example
A bright idea: Dr Martin McPherson (pictured right) explained that the centre uses blue, reed and ‘far-red’ lights (shown in both images) to control plant growth. He believes that the lighting changes the shape of plants and their habits
WHAT MIGHT URBAN FARMS OF THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
A cocktail of coloured light produced by LEDS could be used instead of sunlight to grow fruit and vegetables.
Because no natural light is required, farms could be set up in warehouses and derelict buildings, for example.
Plants would likely be stacked in racks, because LEDS don’t give off much heat.
Food grown in such conditions may taste better, as scientists think the method can boost flavour, as well as increasing yields.
In-demand products could also be grown all year round and packed with extra nutrients.
Fruit and vegetables would be fresher if they are grown in cities, instead of being imported.
Scientists could change the colour of plants and vegetables as well as their taste, so you may be eating yellow carrots, in the future.
‘And because the crops can be grown closer to shops the shelf life is automatically improved.
‘There is a huge amount of interest from growers because this technology is potentially a game changer.’
Because LEDs draw much less electricity than standard sodium lights the potential is there for growers to save huge amounts of money.
Dr McPherson teamed up with electronics giant Philips to create the research centre - the only one of its kind in the UK.
‘About four years ago I was out in Holland at a science exhibition when I saw that a couple of the big electronics companies were starting to market LED lighting for horticulture,’ he said.
‘It occurred to me at the time that this could be the key to kickstarting urban farming in the UK.
‘We held talks with Philips, one thing led to another and we created a 1,000 square metre "city farm" in a warehouse at the STC.
‘We began growing crops by cutting out natural sunlight and instead used energy from the sun through solar technology including coloured lights.
‘Plants don't need the full spectrum of light they get from the sun so by using coloured lighting you can cut out the component parts you need and use them more efficiently.’
He explained that the centre uses blue, reed and ‘far-red’ lights to control plant growth. ‘Once you cut out sunlight you start to learn the science behind it all.’
He believes that the lighting changes the shape of plants and their habits.
‘We can keep plants compact so no chemicals are needed, we can change the colour of plants and vegetables, and we can even change the taste,’ he said.
‘With lettuce for example, there is a strong market for red lettuce but during the winter months in the UK there is not enough blue light in sunlight for the plants to develop red leaves.
‘We can achieve those results in a warehouse just by flicking a switch. Potentially we can even change the nutrition of fruit and vegetables to improve them.’
The team of scientists at the centre are motivated to create new farming methods, because of the threat of climate change as well as a rising global population that needs feeding.

Yep I want a greenhouse to grow lots of "food" 
couple seasons I'll have something figured out.
Soil mixing got put on hold,,, I got a whole vineyard to prune/paint(wounds)/weed/ect. before I do anything else. Shit I really wanted to get that done sooner rather than later. I've also been busy fixing messes left by trees falling on fence line! Had some crazy winds blow through here past week or so,,,, lots of fence to keep up with. Anyway, that's ranch life and I'm cool with it

4" and it is very loud. i would say it is about 3 times as loud as box fan on high power. the whisperline is maybe just a bit louder than a box fan on high. it is 6".

Aarrgh what a night, my wife woke me up with her snoring about 2am, went to get a drink and when I got back into the bedroom the light was off in the flower tent 
I checked my timer which was fine but the ballast was putting out a high pitched humming noise and too hot to touch. Still a bit dazed I sat on the end of the bed and the light came back on
...ended up switching the ballast off for the night and the plants only got 6 hours light.
I have another ballast to try tonight, fingers crossed it works but have to say for the first time ever thank fk for my wife snoring lol
Pic of the light starved girls, praying for the light
On a lighter note, having to pull plants out of the tent to water other plants now. Pics just before watering.
th seeds, underdawg og
bomb seeds, cherry bomb, smells divine like love heart sweets

Numberfour , you will appreciate, somehow I turned off the fan extracting hot air from my 600 tent and 3 hours later noticed no air coming out of that room, checked and the room was 90 the tent was over 100 and I was frantic. Turned the light off for 30 minutes and fan on high, back to normal 74. Last weeks always something.

If your description of the noise levels is accurate, and I think it is as my 4inch 190cfm fan is just as loud as yours sounds, then I'm investing in a new 6inch fan like yours. It dawned on me last night that when I get ready to go back into the veg cycle I'm going to HATE myself if I don't get a new fan lol. There's no way I could sleep with this thing on even half power. My gf already wants to throw it out of our window.

#4, sounds like the ballast was overheating and shut itself off. To be on the safe side I would def replace it and go from there.
