Growlab Tent 1000w with Fox Farms

the current generation of digital/electronic ballasts works but their performance outweighs their price by a ton. if you have a good mag ballast do not replace it with digital ballasts. the marginal benefits are lost on the crazy price premiums. they'll use up like 30 fewer watts, an insignificant saving that should be disregarded, light brightness is on par with decent mag ballasts, however electronic ballasts' failure rates are still high.
quantum ballasts that could be dimmed ain't worth a damn it's cheap Chinese stuff (to me they are as toxic as their drywall, milk, shower curtain, dog food, toothpaste and cancer villages lolz) i don't think dimming the lights would yield any savings in electricity usage, and the only use i can think for it is after applying some foliar sprays
1000 over 600 for 4x4 every time. but if it's a tent i think you should get a slightly bigger one like 5x5 so you'd have some wiggle room for any future additions. there are many things u can do concerning temperature, like using vertical light orientation to reduce hot spots, add co2 so plants can easily perspire, add more moisture to the air to help plants cool (not during blooming duh)

Thats the input I am looking for Plus Rep Hempdaddy. Yeah the dimmable part I really don't care about it is the energy/efficiency part I care about. I currently have a hydrofarm ballast.So if you did get one it would be lumatek?
 
Picture Update Time: Pictures are at day 50 of flowering.Probably gonna pull the LA Con this monday and the Kushberry and the 2 madmans maybe by the following weekend.The LA Con nugs are like rocks.Super dense.The kushberry smells oh so sweet... fruity with a little chemy og.Madmans have that nice OG smell as well.The tahoe and the 2 SFV have a few weeks yet for sure. Cant wait.Any guesses on total weight/grams. 7 plants total?????

Thanks for the comments bro. Was debating if it is even worth the time to take and post these pics. I use fox farms products. Grow big Big bloom Tiger Bloom Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching. So no not all organic. I def always flush. Usually at least 2 weeks. Much smoother taste and smoke. The kushberry just grew like that. It grew a little bushy cause the clone had like almost 2 main stems at first. As far as the tent goes I love it. Way way better than my closet setup before. I did some research and almost got the secret jardin but ended up going with the growlab120. I believe they are related somehow. Pretty good quality and it can handle a decent amount of weight hanging from it.
 
very nice nugs, :D, good job :D

Thanks TLD...Nice to hear that from someone with your experience.I am gonna take some more pictures tonight with a way nicer camera than I have so hopefully I will have some nice clear budporn closeups tonight or tomorrow for you guys to see.Keep it green
 
Looks awesome.... Awesome pics and some big plants......

Thanks man.I hope I pull a decent yield.I took a grip load of pictures tonight and I need to go through them but here are a few to show.I will try to do a big picture update with some really nice closeup pictures tomorrow... sorry for the sideway pics....damnit

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice! REally makes my buds look like sh!t!

:leaf::peace::leaf:

edit:vBulletin Message You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to sogrow again.
 
looks like the yield is on the low side, but that's expected from those strains (LAC and KB were are mid to good yielders but this is organic soil)

those organic buds look amazing though. good grow.

:leaf::peace::leaf:

Hey thanks man.That camera is amazing.Naw I saw your grow man your doing fine.Have not had a chance to read through a whole lot yet but I will soon.

On a different note.....Regarding harvesting......The LA CON still has pretty dark green leaves on it with a little purple here and there and tommorrow is 8 weeks exactly.I flushed it 2 weeks ago with 3 gallons of water and clearex and have only been watering with plain water,little clearex and mollases the rest of the last two weeks.I have never really had a plant that had this dark of green leaves at the very end.Seems like there might be nutes left in the soil or that there is def some nitrogen left over that has yet to be taken up????So my question is do you think that this is gonna affect the taste,smell quality of the smoke? Soil is pretty dry now because I was planning on harvesting tomorrow but does anyone think I should flush hard again and wait another week?The buds pretty much look ready now though.....Any input would be appreciated
