Oh ok, my friend got a 600 but no air cool reflector, you think it will be hard to keep that bad boy under control?

With enough room and ventilation I think he would be OK. My temps started to get into the 90s once winter was over. I could have taken care of it with more fresh air but it was in my plan to have a cooled reflector for each light. The fan (150 cfm) would have made a big difference all by itself, but I wouldn't be abel to get the light that close with out the reflector.:leaf:

i run a 600 watt hps and for the winter i grew indoors, i grew in a closet about 2 and ahalf feet wide and 4 feet long and 8 ft tall and in some areas it was only 4 feet tall cuz the rof is slanted, i kept my room in the high 70's at all times and i used a 2 small fans inside the close one blowin on top of the plants and on the bulb a bit and the other small one below blowing up the skirts then hitting the bulb, also i used a 24 inch house fan to supply cool fresh air into the room. i also was able to keep the the light 15 inches away from the tops safely. i had a inline fan for it but these three fans are much cheaper to run and to buy. and for me works just the same in a way.

A look around the flower room.

In the first 2 pics you can see the plant I must of missed during the last watering, Oops. The 3rd pic in this group has 3 different ages, around 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 5.:weed:

Now some head shots of the older girls. The first is the under watered one, about 4 weeks. The last 3 are the 2 that will be coming down in the next week. I think tomorrow they'll get one last drink of water, then as soon the they dry out, it's over for them. You'll see a close up of them in the next group. Completely cloudy, no clear or amber trichs, that should change in the next few days.

Now the close ups. First is the young ones, about 2 weeks in. It's always surprised my how at first they aren't very hairy. You can see the calyx forming but no hairs coming out. But then by around 4 weeks they are very hairy, as you can see in the 2nd pic. The last 2 are almost done!:weed:

Thanks for stopping in!

Here's a look under the veg light tonight. You can see mom in the back, ready for another trim.:weed:

On the left are the clones I potted last night. In the middle is the other tub of clones that need a few more days before I stick them in the dirt. Then on the right are the babies, more below.

These are from last night. The cloning powder didn't make them root any faster but the roots are a lot thicker!!:-P

The little ones 18 days old...

I wish I could put her outside! Right now is the time in my area. We got a frost over the weekend but it should have been the last. Living in the city makes it imposable. I might be able to find her a home with a friend... I don't think I can bring myself to give her away though. Right now the plan is to keep trimming her until I have my other 600w HPS and then SCROG her under her own light.

The root do look great, I just wish it would happen a little faster.
