Stick!!! What can I say - thank you! :mrgreen:
Who needs guitars anyways lol
Yes these guys are amazing, no other word for it!
Definitely going in amongst my favorites too! (and onto the exorcist playlist lmao)

Great celebratory tunes for the arrival of your light too - it's SLICK! very elegant!
So this one goes for both veg and flower?

They're great aren't they! Amazing how they make so much noise for 2 people lol
Yeah I'll be running it for both veg and flower, I can dim it as well, think theres 7 different settings. I might set my other tent up though and start my next grow whilst these are finishing off. So i'll stick in my old light and put a 250w metal halide in.

The ballast makes a low frequency square wave I believe which makes the bulb "stay on" rather than flicker really really fast, which makes more light :D

Yeah both correct.
Although it is a 315w, it also can run on 380w. Yeah, more Power!! And can dim it as well for veg.

I've got the unit 10" above the tallest tops. I've read that 20/22" is best or some bleaching can occur. Its been on for 12 hours and can't see any difference in colour of leaves or buds. I'll have to keep an eye on it. It's as high up as it will go, to go higher it will mean pissing about with the hangers and I can't be arsed lol

Sorry been outta the loop here, just did my catching up going thru a few pages haha I gotta get back on here more often, my busy season is almost over, but unfortunately(well also fortunate) I may be moving this winter so I won't be starting a new grow until I have things more sorted out on when exactly I'll be moving. BUT once I move I'll own my own house finally(currently renting) and the real fun will start!! Mother plants, veg area & flower area will be in the works!

You're killing me with the new hardware! I just blew a bit of cash on my new Radiant Cool Hood when I guess I shoulda bought one of these bad boys lol I think this 600w is a bit overkill for my current setup, that 315 probably would have been my best bet. Of all things I'd say heat is my biggest enemy so I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on heat output on that vs the hps? I've come across those 315's quite often in my forum browsing and as you've all said, it's always fantastic feedback

Good to hear from you!
Good luck with moving and that mate! Keep in touch with us all though even if you don't have a crop on the go!
The 315 sounds perfect for me, I can't increase my grow space and I don't want to increase energy costs either. So its an all round winner for me.
Heat, I couldn't tell you as my thermo/hygrometer fell to the floor the other day and is Friar Tucked, so I need to buy a new one! The ballast is fixed to the unit though and does kick off some heat, but there is a lot of open air around the unit, my Adjust-A-Wing before was massive and didn't leave much space for air to pass around.
In all, i'm over the moon with it, it screams quality. But we need to see some results. I'm going to build a SCROG screen for the DWC bucket that will allow me to lift the plant and screen up so I can still clean the res and do a complete res change every week.
I've worked it all out, and on paper it all looks good, just need to buy the supplies and make it!!

I think you're well on the way to creating the perfect setup with what you have to work with as for me I look at the led's but everything points to the 315 setup & I think the mkultraXbubblegum is gonna finance it she's been outside finishing up & is pretty much ready loaded up with quality bud midway down the branches to the top she is loaded up got that classic bubblegum smell & a fair amount of frost a good strain & hats off to th- seeds on this oneimage.jpeg

Like I have said in your thread mate, a tremendous effort! You was gonna ditch her but you spun it around and have grown a little beauty. looking at her I reckon you will pull 5-7 ounce which will easily fund a 315 CDM/CMH/LEC whatever ya wanna call em lol :razz:

Still haven't got a thermometer but would just like to say that I opened the tent this morning and was shocked! There was no blast of heat as soon as I unzipped the tent, it actually seemed cooler in there than the room the tent is in! .

wow sounds amazing! seems it's keeping its promises, good for you :D

My babies (and the pineapple Express) got a compost tea today, I think the PE is resuming her flowering (seemed like she stopped for a few... the pyrethrum maybe? :evil: haha) but I wanted to give both a bit of a boost. Hope it helps them as I keep searching for a comfortable lighting situation for them :rolleyes:

So when are you going to sprout? :grin:

I reckon the PE was hearing Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys and it gave her some Bad Vibrations lol
I got my new seeds yesterday, and well done to Humboldt Seeds for the gorgeous presentation, a lovely wooden box with the seeds in! And as always great presentation by Dinafem, I love those little tins the seeds come in! As always got shit loads of stickers which is nice, and a free T Shirt with Dinafem Seeds wrote across it! Not sure I'll be wearing the T-shirt in public though! lol Hey look at me, I grow Dinafem seeds!!
Police kicking fuck outta door 2 hours later lol
I have been very tempted yet hungover to start the new seed today! I think I'll wait till these are nearly done, theyre going to need the tent to dry in, and I still need to build this liftable SCROG screen!:razz:

Some very impressive growing in this thread, well done! That light is bad boy haha. I have been looking at CMH for years and never got around to buying it. As said in Herks thread, I will be very interested to see how that performs. Whats the price on one of them bad boys? haha Cheers.

Dam I must send the guys at Fast Buds some decent playlists then - because they definitely never heard a note of that at my place haha! BTW the closet is clear of them - an occasional snippet of Led Zeppelin and Royal Blood floating around, but that's it :D

LOL yeah I really don't care for the gear they send along with the seeds for exactly that reason - I'm not at all paranoid but I don't have to broadcast my little hobby either, right?

Yeah no need to rush it, it's just a few weeks now anyways - how are your earthy gals progressing meanwhile?
