Alrightie.... Got the 400w HPS setup from HTG supply yesterday. Also picked up rockwool cubes for cloning later this week.
With that HPS setup I got the Sunmaster Neutral Deluxe MH Conversion bulb which is in there now. I can already see the plans responding between last night and today. Last night I had the lights on a little later (normally off at 5:30) so that I could make sure the distance was ok.. temp wasnt going to be an issue... etc. Everything is going great. I have the ballast outside the grow room and i'm actually going to have to pick up a heater to keep the room warm this winter. I'm actually kind of mad I didn't pick up the 600w setup now. I think I'll upgrade that in January when I start my next grow. Doesn't hurt to have a back up light and ballast... right? Unless this works out just fine yield wise... then I may just leave it alone because the way I have stuff run its nice and clean but would be a pain to rip out and redo.
Here is a pic... I can't believe how much nicer it is in my room without all those wires and cfl's hanging everywhere. Actually feels kinda professional now. lol
Friday the WW get their final transplant to the big pots. Sunday I start to flower. Hopefully my upgraded HPS bulb will be here by then. HTG said it was on backorder but they sent me a generic one anyway. I'm sure it'll do thet trick till the other one shows up. I was thinking of living the MH in for the first week of flower anyway.
Oh yeah.. I also topped the thai haze the other day. Lesson learned. dont do it high. Did one perfect (the confirmed female) thank god... but I slipped on the other and sliced off 1 of the 2 shoots. So this morning I just fimmed that one shoot. lol We'll see how that turns out... DOH! I'm going to leave the other one alone now and compare the fimmed shoots to the non fimmed. Though since there is two on one and one on ther other, not sure it will be a fair comparison. We shall see though.
