Thanks bro. The singles are absolutely perfect for autos. They did well with my photos too but I think they could have used more. This was my biggest plant under 200 watt.

I'll be starting a pair of HBSS next week. 1 of them is getting topped. Can't wait to see what these lights do to her. I'm expecting serious shrubbery. With all the early side branching , it's taken a lot of self control to NOT top the last 2 I popped.
Running these lights, I may need an intervention.

Oh man. 250 watts is plenty. This one is just about taking up a full 3x3 with 110 watts lol. First time growing from this breeder too.
It's so hard not to follow what the photo guys are doing wattage wise but it's really not necessary. I dropped over a thousand watts from my room and the buds are just as full and dense. I do have a Major deficiency I can't seem to kick but overall a great yield in sure.

Hubba! I love that strain. Do you scrog them at all? If not you may want to. Those side branches will turn into 1/2 oz buds hanging on for deal life. Mephisto did such a good job with that one. Ripleys is next. I hear it's much bigger and frostier.I'll be starting a pair of HBSS next week. 1 of them is getting topped. Can't wait to see what these lights do to her.

I haven't scrog'd anything yet. If it comes to it, I have enough bamboo and training wire build anything I could ever need. If the HB grows anything like the cheese did, I'll be doing a lot more trimming down below early on.
Good to hear on the Ripley's. That was set to be the next topping experiment until I randomly checked Mephisto's site and saw HB back in stock. So, another good size order and tomorrow will be like xmas seeing what freebies I got. lol
The more I joke about putting a cot in my closet and dropping a 6x8' tent in my bedroom, the better it sounds.

The back rooms shaping up nicely. 19/5 light schedule with 220 watts. Got some nasty leaves in here but things are still filling in. I'd be happy with a lb in here but it looks like I may be short again.
Here is that new strain and breeder I tested out. She is looking lovely

Sick grow man, what would you recommend for a 4x4 room , I picked up a bunch of mephisto gear and want to ditch the 1000 watt Hps, was thinking one of the pre built timber kits but open to suggestions.

Plug 'em all into a power strip and plug the strip into a timer. I'm running 6 but I'm not using a timer.

This is what I have in my 4x4 space.
It's not necessary though. In the bigger space I do what creature mentioned. Run them on a regular strip and plug the strip to a timer. It's nice to plug and unplug them as you go.

No issues but according to the amazon reviews I'm lucky. Single plugs are a little more work up front but it's simple once you get a strip up. Can take em down or add more easily. I love adjusting them myself. Even with a scrog I have the lights all at different heights.
