8 weeks for the lvtk

this is the #2. this plant has really come on in the past couple weeks. it looked like it might be a low yielder and then it went into another gear and is definitely going to outyield the other one. this is the one that threw nanners, but i'm hoping they're sterile. i can't see any signs of pollination, but i guess we'll see.

still wrestling with what to pop next, as always.

only issue with that is I try to stay perpetual so If I shut down to do this I'll lose all my genetics! lol its always something... trust me I know, unfortunately I think my 2 best options are drop 2k on leds, or hope I can get someone to run a dedicated 220 to the room! neither are perfect for me but I'm not seeing any other viable options
Go the led route man, can run like 4 550s on a single outlet

i dont think he can afford them.i think that was his issue
yes that is my issue! after looking them up plan was to run two hlg 600 qp but they have a price tag if 700 each at the best price I can find! one more hps would cost me less than 500 with adding a breaker and a new tent!

it's always about the money!

and I have to say the yields on 1k hps are not that bad! but once you consider the bulb replacement, and the electricity cost make it less than ideal but I just don't have 2k to sink into my grow at least not at this moment! I'm already about 4k in the hole is a sorta speaking, I have made back most but still!

Rig up some them 96ers from hlg.. personally I luv my strips but those would be an easy little project. Good luck thumbs!

that's what I really want to do but I've been trying to find a friend of a friend type of deal to get it done but no luck yet the one person I know that could do it I don't trust in that "area" so unfortunately I'm kinda screwed that's why I'm Turing to you guys for any other possible options!
Sounds like you could run the lights on one out let and the air conditioner and fans on the other and the scrubber on an extension cord until you find someone

Not sure if this was mentioned, as I just jumped in here. They have work site power distribution boxes made to run from a dryer style outlet. You can get everything you need at HD to build a cord, they are expensive premade.
Seen em cheap on CL before. Can probably pick up a new one on the lower end for a couple bills. Best route for temp use imho.

2

2000watts / 110Volts = 18 amps should work
are you sure about that bc I'm pretty sure thats exactly what everyone here agreed with, that I couldnt run 2!!! bc my goal was to move from a 5x5 tent to a 5x9 idealy and cheapest way would be 2 1k hps bc I already have 1! if two 1k will fit on 1 20 amp at 110w then I should have no problem running 2 fans, carbon scrubber, an ac unit on the last 20 amp!
