Moving to a 1 bedroom apartment, and in 1 year, starting a family and moving to AZ

I wish you all the best Bro!!!

It's been a pleasure growing with you!!!

ANYWAY, the pics look fantastic as always GB.

Thanks... but those are 3 months old...

And I have a question about your HID reflectors and the inline cooling system.

Shoot... I can probably help with this one...

Do you prefer the tube-style reflectors or the hood?

OH! Boy... hard to say really... they each have their points

I guess I'm wondering which does a better job of providing good reflectivity while maintaining the coolest operating temperatures.

A well designed hood will provide a better coverage than the cooltube...

But there is no comparison in flow rates allowed by each...

I say tubes in tight quarters such as tents...

And hoods in rooms and bigger areas...

BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE SET UP...

...i also hate you Gypsy for your awesome setup, i need that, one day...


GKN

OH man... don't hate... just set your mind to it and do it... it doesn't take a genius.. that's for sure...

lol yeah fdd doesn't f*** around

FDD is cool as shit.. and he is one of the people responsible for maintaining the site...

I am sure he did whatever he did with RIU's best interest in mind... whether it's actually the case or not is not the point...

The point is there are rules... and if you break them they will kick you out...

It's for the best of the site...

you guys ever see a plant flowering AND vegging at the same time????

Check this...

Quilombo explained to me that the plant was already flowering when the daylight increased to 14 hours... causing the bottom branch to grow and veg... while the main cola still finished...

Gypsy coined the phrase "charitable interpretation."

 

[GypsyBush]

what does it mean?

 

[DeweyKox]

Thanks GB! I will miss growing with you as well!

 

[krakennkenji]

That vegging/flowering plant is insane! I've never seen anything like it. I wonder if somebody could grow plants like that on purpose indoors for a unique kind of perpetual harvest.

Thanks for the input on the lighting. I will be growing in a tent next time round, so probably the cooltube is best. What about the hood reflectors that have tempered glass covers with airtight gaskets? Would that be like the best of both (airflow of tube with reflectivity of hood), all in one?

 

[GypsyBush]

What about the hood reflectors that have tempered glass covers with airtight gaskets?

That's what mine are... I have only 1 light that is not sealed/aircooled...

Just stick another clone next to it...

It'll be easier...

Tripped out plant though...

 

[krakennkenji]

Well then, I'll be going with the cooltube! Thanks Gypsy. And yes, that is definitely one tripped-out plant.

 

[krakennkenji]

Oh shit, I forgot to ask if you use digital ballasts. Worth the extra $$$?

 

[GypsyBush]

What size lamp are you getting/have?

 

[krakennkenji]

Thinking 400W

 

[GypsyBush]

Oh shit, I forgot to ask if you use digital ballasts. Worth the extra $$$?

Not sure... I have both...

I just make sure they are 110v/220v...

I like the digis so I can run MH/HPS

Thinking 400W

Well... I say go with the 600w...

You are going to air cool it... so anywhere you can put a 400, you can put a 600...

And your nugs are going to be SO MUCH BETTER...

I guarantee it bro...

It will be the last light you ever buy... never upgrade again...

And your g/w will be better...

a 600 will give you about the cheapest pot you can get indoors...

the extra fat nugs will more than pay for the difference in equipment and electric bill...

If I am not mistaken a 600 will add about 25~35 bucks to your bill... depending where you are...

 

[GypsyBush]

I have 2 of these and I love them... cool as can be... and it's $250 with the cool tube...

[krakennkenji]

Yes being able to run MH and HPS was a big selling point for me. 600W you say? Well if thats cool for a grow tent than consider it done. I'm def ok with spending a little more if I won't ever need to upgrade, and fat nugs are ok too I guess lol!

My power bill is actually included in my rent. I was a little sketchy about what a big jump in the bill might look like to the landlord, so I've just left one of my portable electric heaters running in a back room since winter. I just now got up and looked at it to see what kind of wattage it uses... thing has been running 1000 fucking watts 24/7! Guess I don't need to be worried when I flip it off and fire up the new grow room. Landlord will be thankful lol

 

[krakennkenji]

HA! Holy crap man that the exact system I have opened up in the second tab of my internet explorer as we speak

 

[GypsyBush]

[krakennkenji]
