@doniawon if you in the market for a ballast check out the galaxy ballast. Growershouse had them very reasonable and sometimes they run some nice extra sales. Haven't had it running real long so far no problems. It running cooler to the touch than my hydrofarm and the ballast is dimmable(prolly won't ever use it but nice to have) and it had the standard plug reflector cord and not the special hydrofarm one.
I called 1000bulbs, n josh said hold on to this one and another is on the way. So ill keep u posted cause that my dreadbread guava light!

Has anyone seen a fan leaf produce flowers?
Dutch Passion California Orange
4'x2' tent 315cmh mainlined
Fox Farms OF GB,BB,TB day 25 12/12
temps 79 or less lights on

I have never seen this?

Any input is welcome?
It happens every great once in a while and is one of cannabis' more entertaining genetic hiccups.
For me, it happened with Ripped Bubba, from TGA.

Wuts up fellow growers, just had sum question about the 315, there's a near by htg selling these. Things here's the link http://www.htgsupply.com/products/agromax-hypar-315w-cmh-grow-light
Seems like a really good price, these can be put into a regular air cooled hood, but will a glass stop the uv? Does uv even mean anything to bud or terp production? Also some of the hoods I seen on this post show the bulb hanging vert inside of the hood, is this important? Thanks for any feed back

image.jpeg well after the battle with the spider mites again and a little help from some RIU regs. Spider mites are history. Day 5 f flip

Trimmed bottoms and cut clones off the WW and IB. Looks like the shamans x 2 are males. Giving couple more days to make sure I am right.
Plans are a sog attempt on the clones. 1st try cloning so hope to get a few to make it

Burn at two weeks, burn from spray of the mites. Wall to wall bushes Kinda glad the Shamans are males due to up coming stretch. Space 3x4x6.5'.

Gave them all a half dose of jacks last night and grew 1.5 in in 24hrs.

Thanks to all RIU players for help with multiple issues. @GroErr @ttystikk

Try to update soon.

I made the switch to the 315's about 1.5 months ago. I'm enjoying the spectrum and how the plant grows versus 600hps. I went through this whole thread this evening and have noticed what some are saying about the phantom ballasts. I got my phantom kits via NeHydro on Amazon. I have the older style of the ballast. Occasionally I will hear a mild clicking/buzzing sound from one of my 2 ballasts and that will accompany a barely perceptible flicker of the lamp. Well tonight both ballasts are making that sound and lamps are flickering, with one of the lamps very noticeably so. Is this a sign that the ballasts are about to go bad? How hard will it be to assemble a Phillips ballast and what ever else I'll need to replace my phantom ballasts if/when they go? I'm not good with electric stuff but can follow instructions. And I have a few sparky friends.

If they are flickering then I would return them, while they are under warranty. I am running sunplix and Nanolux both have been good to me so far.

I second @Sire Killem All on this; they should not be flickering.

What strain?
How close can you get these lights? How is the penetration into the canopy?
What I mean is my Calio-O and Cheese are about 16" away on the outside of the tent I am worried they are too close.
They are day 27 of 12/12 and I think they have stopped stretching. I have maybe 3 inches left on my tent or I have to put the extension on?
I did the back of hand test and its fine for 30 seconds.
Thanks

Looks great. i think you are going to do well in the 4x4. I have a few questions for you.

How for above your canopy is your light?
How far up have you lollipoped?

I know everyone always jokes about this but im serious. if you do this right you may get "about a pound"
