If you cant keep the temps under control with 1 thousand watt. How are you going to do it when you add the 6 hundred?
Temps aren't horrible 82 when its 90 here....I do have cooltubes fans a/c's its not like I'm stuck like chuck if I absolutely need the shit I got it
....however I ended up going with my 1000w sum cfl lighting in back and my mars 300w in front....

Yeah That's not horrible. But its not great, and thats without the 6hundred. How much hotter is it after adding the mars?

My light is a 6" Cool Tube, Magnetic Ballast, 1000w Full Spectrum MH/Eye Hortilux Super HPS. Out standing. I dont see why people have problems cooling a 1000w inside a tent. I use a 435cfm Hurricane inline and it cools my light and pulls a 400cfm filter. I just run an AC in the same room and my temp stays 75f light on and 65f light off.

This is my plant. This plant is day 12 flower, each cola is 15"-16" long and filling in noticably everyday. Plant is over 3ft wide and 37 1/2" tall. It was 21" when I flipped to 12/12, it has stretched to 37 1/2". This is why when done properly and climate is perfect DWC will smoke soil growing everytime. This is a rarely heard of strain also, Mr. Burns. 80% indica/20% sativa, 67 day flower. I still have 7 weeks to go! Im not trying to rub anything in, im just trying to show people 2lbs per plant, 1000w, DWC, is possible. I use 13 products, 1500-1600ppm. Im so tired of people telling new growers that all the advanced nutrients like carbs are a waste of money. Its not true. Some products are better than others but imo theres no better than GH Floraseries entire line. This is proof if you use all the products as intended, follow an aggressive feed schedule, dial in your grow these products like Floralicious, FloraNectar, Kool Bloom, ect do work very very well. 5 weeks ago this thing was but just a few inches tall.
When did u start counting days? Surely not when you changed the lights to 12 and 12...

Im going to explain this once more. People that are counting day one of flip as day one of flower is wrong. Plants stretch first, they put all thier energy into stretching to open bud sites and get those sites out away from the plant and into the light. This is the transition period. Look it up! In DWC this happens over a weeks time, after transition early/week one of flower begins. Anyone starting day one flower at flip is wrong.

But what if we are happy with our medicine? Then why outside when the days get shorter do the buds start to come?

There are just people that choose to ignore it but that doesn't make it not true. People that really know how to grow know transition. Watch your plants next time they stretch, they stretch much more than they bud. Plants have to have time to adjust to the new light schedule. Another reason for transition. Seedling, early veg, late veg, transition, early bloom, mid bloom, late bloom, ripen, flush. Period!

Does always seem like they could stand to go another week or so come 60 day mark.
