Just finished the 4 northern lights

Wow that is a lot :)
Congratulations on your grow

I know you told me you grow in coco
But in the picture it looks like soil

How much space you leave in between pots Bryan?

And how long did they flower for those northern lights ?

I see some huge buds from the number 6


( my hanger did not arrive yesterday I am waiting on it to hang the second light before I put the net in as I will have no access once the net is is )

Yes on each one

Here all done for the day temps are 33celcius a bit hot but will get it sorted out
Don't know if I should get the AC
Or a 12" fan to suck the hot air out
And use my 6" fan to suck air from outside in


12" fan will cost me around £150
AC WILL cost me £50
But around 850w will be costing me a lot to run it.

Here 's the update Bryan
Also let me know the dry weight of it all ;)IMG-20151219-WA0000.jpeg

Ended up going with a 10" that does 1000cfm

Should suck some of that bloody heat straight out of it

Got a 6" at 420cfm that is just not doing the job. Will use it to get cold air from outside into the tent

See if that set up works .

Well if you can get some info on that 3x600 that would be awesome

Also replacing that 960 watts led( of the wall 450watts ) with some t5''s I just feel it is not working for me 450watts I could be using hid for that

Also bad day for me the new ballast wich on top of....
Having a bulb that rattles
A reflector that is poorly built
It runs too hot and smells of burned plastic
So will be sending it back and getting a new one like the one with the timer but without the built in timer as that gave up too, almost did 14h with lights on if I had not realised :/


So the way I see things

I run for 16hrs a day

1 led off real 450watts
1 inline fan at 150watts
1 osciliating fan at 45watts

I run for 12hrs a day

2x600 hps at a total of 1200watts
1 oscillating fan at 45watts

For a daily total of 1890watts of the wall continuously for 12hrs


If I get rid of the led I can run an extra
Inline Fan of 200watts and a 96watts Reflector With 4 t5'S I Will Have A Cooler Tent ( Hopefully) And Save 250WATTS

I am really reading this and somehow I just realised there is something wrong in Tis equation lol

Let me go Google wattage stuff

Just got back from my mates he is running 1x400 and 2x600 the small wooden box has a small 6 inch and uses 10 inch kitchen fan for the main fan and 90mm pipe in the door just as a breather. Its not the most pretty of set up but it works he gets he's min of 3lbs every time

Thank you Bryan

I have a couple of questions

What is the size of the set up ?
how many plants he runs at a time?
Is the 400 a hid ?
