Would u prefer a 600 hps from start to finish or a 400 then another 400 added during flower.
I'm trying to make some buying decisions.

Much deserved photo credit, my photos are terrible, lol.
I have 570 watts of decent leds, it would be equivalent.

Sorry your having issuesboth lvtk look and smell great, but i have run into issues with both that will likely prevent me keeping either of them. the tk leaner threw a few dicks on me. i haven't seen any buds that look like they're seeded yet, so i will have to wait and see.
the other has had a few tops lost to rot. the rh has been hovering around 47-58%, which isn't ideal late in flower, but it is what it is. fall here is pretty humid and keeping it down inside the tent with 25 gallons of water flooding 3x/day is tough. i moved that plant to the other side so it gets hit heavily by the wall-mounted fan. i was able to get what will likely be a few grams of testers from the colas i had to chop due to rot.
the plant looks and smells great, but I won't be keeping it due to the rot. it is the only plant in flower right now that is having this issue. the og and mk ultra laugh at this humidity. these two plants in a well-controlled environment would be just fine, but i grow in a garage right now so you gotta be tough to stick around!
it's almost time to get popping new beans, so i may give a few more lvtk a go to see what else there is to find. i also plan to run a few of the ethos member berry that i picked up a few months back.
both of mine were nanner free,only 1 was kept to run again.I'm living soil and my rh stays around 50% so no issues with rot.I can see having an issue as the buds are dense like bullets.

What was your issue with the western wizard? I only popped 2 beans and got 2 females. One was heavy stardawg which never stopped throwing pistols. Other was a fast finishing indica. I kept the indica pheno.

When the lumatek 600 watt dimmable ballast came out years ago.
I would run it with HPS full blown in flower and a metal halide dimmed to 400.
Huge plants and frost.
I have had great luck using metal halide the whole run too.
600 watt ballasts are cheap. Do yourself a favor and buy a premium (new) bulb.
Log the hours and replace periodically.
Weak bulbs are a drag

I know right, but new skis take precedence. I had a choice between new skis and a new lighting setup. Pretty sure I made the right choice.Priorities reversed?
Popped a full pack and ended up with 5 girls. 2 were pure gas. 2 smell like orange furniture cleaner if that makes sense. And the last one smells like straight orange peels.

if price matters, get a QB setup instead of COB. they're both good, but the QBs are cheaper and edge the COBs in most ways.
it's funny you say you can't justify spending that on a hobby, because that is exactly how i justify spending as much as i do! haha!
I only run full packs so out of 11 beans 8 sprouted on 2 girls and 1 was all gas nothing special and the other low frost and leafy. But that was just my pack maybe others had better luck.

Damn I bet I just got lucky and the rest is a bag of boys waiting for me. the indica one was great from early on while the stardawg leaner didn't show alot of promise.
Yeah they shocked me. Nicest plants in my tent, which includes western wizard, bounty hunter, jelly pie, orange blossom special, and a grape kush I like from cali connection.
