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.
Cheers mate, I must say though that I haven't done anything impressive lately lol
Hoping things change next time around. I paid £520 for the unit, which is a big investment but it should pay for itself!

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?
Yeah It's strange that they send stuff like that!!
The Durban Poison is looking great, really healthier than she was last week and continuing to pack weight on the buds.
The Frisian Dew just looks like it has given up on life lol all the leaves have gone brown and crispy lol I have dropped the nutes by half as well but she still isn't happy. Went to check ph and the ph meter is either broke or needs new batteries. I'll just buy a new un, wanted a Blu Lab one for ages.
The No Hope is still showing no sign of hope lol I came very close to just chopping it the other day!
So in all, I just can't wait till its over and done with!

hey stickman after firing up the new light do you think you could flower 1 meter square ??? I'm figuring my options on getting one together now they make a conversion kit as well allowing me to use my current hood considerable cheaper but that being said 2 of them could be ran on my budget of electricity but that's still a ways off & this next grow should ell me something as I'm not getting the most out of my current setup

It is really hard to say at the minute mate, the change in brightness is immence compared to HPS, and it seems to have lowered the temperature somewhat, but I can't confirm this as my thermometers fucked. The plants weren't doing too well anyways, I've given up on two of them and am now only interested in the Durban Poison. She is looking healthy as owt now since I installed the CMH, but this could also be due to other factors.
So I think we can only judge this light once I do a full grow with it, from start to finish.

yeah I know you're pretty far along in this grow & probably won't get a noticeable difference but soon we both will be kicking off new stuff things are gonna be interesting

I don't want to big this light up too much just yet an make people want to go out and buy one. I do have doubts about it myself and i'm a bit sceptical about what it is going to yield, I think it will be on par with the 400w and may out do it slightly but not by much. I think the quality of the bud will be exceptionally better though.
Time will tell. Should be a good experiment this, I haven't come across a grow journal yet with just one of these lights being used on it's own, has anyone else? And if so could you send me a link?

over in the indoor growing section there is a club 315 lec thread with a lot of info they claim it will hands down outperform the 400 hps only reason I haven't re invested in a new light is because money is a bit tight but I could get around that then there is the fact I haven't yet hit a good one with the equipment I have which is capable of much more than I've been getting & im fortunate enough to get the loan of a led for this next round I'm hoping my strain choice straitens things out
