Yah, now its an entendre. But it started with 5.0 mustang. Stockblock 302. Heads cam intake nitrous. High school rig.

More stories than the law allows. Like holding nitrous bottle out window in front of cop.
Also held well against a 04 porsche gt3 till 100ish. Lol.

I have gb cut as well. Its in the back corner. I was told the po cut is real good so I only ran 1of gbs since he just grabbed it for me randomly.

I can definitely see a difference in them while vegging. The po cut nodes are way closer together. Gb one the nodes are several inches away.

How are yours looking/smelling?

The gavitas get hot. If you ran a open/bare bulb Its about the same. I flood 4x daily.

I thought they ran cooler. mmm ok. There's no ducts on those right ? Your outlet was the correct one / 214 V ? maybe ?

It looks like it has a hell of along ways to go at week 6 , smell is fair but not strong yet , fair structure but does not compare to anything else in the room at this point in time. My skywalker makes me happy. lol

Do you have an auto top off or how much water do you replace a day and how often do you change the rez ? Sorry for the Q's but I never really got to talk to someone with the same system.

I used to basically run a bare bulb so its hard to tell. They might run a little cooler but I wouldnt say its super noticeable. I am not using duct on them. I dont like ducting lights as they mess up the spectrum. I am using 240V.

Wow, usually at around week 6-7 they start to put on a lot of weight. Hopefully they start to do that.

No auto top off. I change the res once a week. Basically I watch my meter to determine what I need to do. I usually find the sweet spot where the PPM and PH will stay the same, meaning they are drinking the same amount of water as nutes.

If I see the PPM rise then I know the nute solution is too strong and I dilute it some. If I see the PPM lower after each feeding I know to up the nutes.

Also, you have my # so call me if you need to.

I'm heading into week 3 of flower and am right around 800 PPMs I want to try and push 1200 this round as long as they can handle it.

What do up you like to peak your PPMs at? And what are they around right now?

First determine what scale your meter is on. There is a .5/.7/ec. I am at 1250ppm as of now on a .7 scale. This seems to be the sweet spot where the ppm barely drops after a couple feedings.

Also all strains are different. I had some cherry pies that burned at 900ppm
