Club 600

Hey folks at the 600. Just been reading through the updates whilst slurping down my morning breakfast. Great fun had by all I can see!!! Gave me a few giggles this morning for sure. Have a good day.

P.S FYI It hasn't stopped raining here since yesterday afternoon. I have collected another 10 gallons of rain water from my greenhouse, which is always good. And it looks set for another day of rain.

Peace,

DST

Go to home depot or Lowes or whatever and get a piece of 4x7 Styrofoam board with one side having foil on it. Cost like 10$ for a 1/4" thickness.
 
panda black film is light proof and very reflective and very cheap and u can get the amount u want not have to buy a whole roll. very cheap, thick and works great and easy to mess with, i stay away from mylar, its thin, not light proof and i find panda film a bit more reflective and not so tinfoil like, but mylar is not bad i just prefer panda black film
 
we used to grow with 1000 watts and a friend told us it was overkill, so we are trying 600's our electric bill has been lower..but we dont think we are gettting the yield that we used to. very confusing.. we think were going to put 6 plants underneath a 600 watt and the rest under 1000 and see what happens.. what does everone think..? we think we let them get to tall also before putting them into flower, we are 3 weeks out and they dont even look as fat as we thought they should.. i guess we will see during harvest..need opinions.please!!
 
well if you are usin 1 600 then ya u will get better results with 1 1000. 600 watt isjust more efficient meaning more lumans per watt. u will have a lower bill with 2 600 and have 1200 wattsand if u let plants get to tall for the light the under neath stuff wont amount to what it could have. u got any pics

Even though Panda Film is very good stuff to build with, my light meter (and wallet) tell me that flat white paint is the very top of performance curves for any covering.

hotsauce, I would try to get some more humidity into your room. I notice your highs are low, only into the forties. You might find yourself with leaves drying out as your progress.
 
Sorry, I forgot to mention nice little set-up you got going. That first pic, it looks from the reflection in the mylar that you have the sun in that box.
 
Who uses silica in their grows? I recently purchased some, npk of 0-0-3. I also purchased some new grow nutes npk of 9-3-6 to go along with my jack's classic blossom booster of 1-3-2...and botanicare's pure blend pro grow and bloom. The botanicare is supposed to be good for sativas and the other is an experiment on my next indica grow to see if lower levels of P help to reduce plant stretch. I also just got some alaskan fish fertilizer on sale at the grocery store for a couple of bucks and some container trays for like fifty cents a piece on sale, fits my one gallon grow bags great. I seem to have collected quite an arsenal of additives over the last year.

Anyway back to the silica. I see a noticeable difference in the girls in just over a week of using the silica. It's a liquid formula, I use like a half a dropperful per gallon. My plants are starting to get a nice sheen to them. I did a little reading before I bought it, it just seemed so beneficial I thought I would give it a try. I was using a product called rare earth, another form of silica, but it was a powder you mixed into your soil. I like the liquid much better. I'll also say this, even using the powder form, now that I think about it, none of those grows had any insect problems.
 
What up 600er's I been thinking serious about switching from fox farms to organic feed. What do you guys think I should go with....Earth Juice or AN Iguana grow/bloom. Im stuck between those 2 or does anybody know of a better organic water soluable?
 
i heard silica will help protect ur plants from heat stress? if so then i need some because its about to get real hot real soon
 
Yo willie... don't no nothin about organics. I just know my wife buys the organic spinich at the store, lol. She don't even care about that shit I Guess the regular bag is too big, lol.

All I know about silica is it's supposed to strengthen the plants cells walls. That would seem to help in many ways.

Hotsause... if heat isn't an issue you are ok on ventilation. Might need it to get the plants close to the 600... not sure what temps will be like in a couple months where you are. The roots look great too.

Just had to jump on and share this song... I'm so lovin this beat... the lyrics and flow is cool too... but this beat makes me want to write some lyrics of my own:

For silica I use Pro Tekt 0-0-3. I feel it is a must. It does all the things you mentioned and more. I also throw it in my morning mist on the leaves sometimes.
 
http://www.oregonwormtea.com/ that link i just posted is what i am gonna use on my next indoor. its 60 bucks for it all and makes alot of nutes, plus it is all organic and based out of oregon their are others but this one is much cheaper.

also it is made for marijauna
