Im not sure of the percentage but I know the wonder woman is mostly indica if not 100%good god man!!! those are some of the fattest Indica leafs I've seen in a LONG time.. sheeesh! How much Indica she got in her?? Is that a pure Indica??
Either way.. I'm scribed to this one.
I wish I was able to run that kinda wattage. But I'm too paranoid, plus I can't afford the bill. I've got 300watts of HPS (two 150's combined) and that does me alright. But, I was just thinking of how fatter and bigger my buds would be if I could..But hey, its better than nothing.
Keep up the good work buddy...
peace.

so the ac arrived along with the co2 burner on the same day. The ac is amazing and keeps the room at whatever temp I want no matter what! Sweeet. The co2 burner however is a piece of junk (minigen from hydro innovations) I know others on this site have had good results with it but Ive spent the last month talking to the company about why it shuts itself off and even sent it back and it still wont work. So today I returned it for the tank and reg. This tried and true setup of course works like a charm.
Heres some pics of the buds starting and the new ac and tank.
and last a shot under the canopy. Ill clean this out in a week or so.

great update/pics rip !!
i have the same dehumidifier!! how often are you emptying it ?? I have to empty mine two times a day, right before lights out and right when lights come on it sucks.
i am trying to figure out how big the tank actual tank is not how much it can do in a day(40pints in a day, not a 40 pint tank like i thought) i started filling up a 5 gallon bucket with a full tank to see how many full tanks it takes to fill it up, my guess is 5 but i might be wrong.
Been thinking about how i can go on vacation for about 5 days or so and not have to worry about emptying the tank, until i can get a drain installed in my room and can just plumb dehumidifier to that. I figured maybe one or two 5 gallon buckets under the dehumidifier hook up a drain tube to the buckets with a flow float valve, just not sure what would happen once the buckets were filled and the float valve got closed.
sorry for rambling on just once i saw it i had to see how its working for you.

Damn man, those ladies are looking great. I haven't been by for minute and wow, so many additions. I thought I was bad about always adding something. How much heat does the dehum put out? Mine is like a damn heater. I also wanted to ask if you have tried upping the CO2 to kill bugs yet? I have heard if you push the co2 up for an hour it will kill all the little bastards in there, but not sure how high to bring the ppm's up. Also, how much did that AC run you. I am still using a lot of CO2 becuase of my ac exhaust. Anyway my friend, just want to give you big props! The ladies look happy as can be.

I will be spending a lot of time in ther anyways. Haha. But yeah It is f-ing huge I didnt know how big it would actually be. I think it will handle my heaty problems out here in the valley.that a/c looks like a mitsubishi slim. you might be spending a lot of time in there on the hot days!
Actually It isnt big enough I have it set on 45% and my room is at 64% humidity right now and it runs constantly. Im gonna have to send it back and go with a 70 pint model
That little dehumidifier does put out a lot of heat but the ac handles that no problem. I just put the tank in yesterday but from what I understand at either 5000 or 10000 it will kill everything including you if you arent careful but I cant remember which # is correct. Also my co2 controller only reads up to 2000 ppm. I paid $1229 for that mini split ac unit. I found it on amazon. It was the best deal. Most 2 ton ac systems are at least $1700. The wall unit isnt a very well known company but the compressor is a toshiba and thats the important part. I think I could have gotten away witha 1.5 ton but the price difference was nothing so I went big. It is amazing so far. If your interested look up 24000 btu mini split in the search window at amazon.com. This model also came with the copper instalation kit that usually runs 300 extra.

like i said, it looks like a mitsubishi slim, i think they start at $2200 (paying for the name). its the same console, i just didn't see the normal logo. it has the off brand name on it. that model also can be bought with a heat pump.

Thanks for the information Drip. I have one more question. How do you control odor with the ac? Doesn't the exhaust carry the odor out of the room? Just something I have been thinking about.

yeah the controller is electric and I have only had the co2 for a couple days so far
It might be the same then cause this one has a heat pump
If you have the right type of ac system there is no exhaust. models like central ac with ducting, ductless mini split like I have, most window units, and dual hose portable are all examples that do not take air out of the room. You can also convert a single hose portable ac by finding the intake (usually a rectangular shaped area in the plastic molding on the side opposite of the exhaust hose) and creating a seal with aluminium tape and 4 inch ducting and pull air from outside the grow area with this. So in turn creating a dual hose portable. This might still let some smell out cause of leaks and openings in the plastic but its better than nothing.

So I went away this weekend for a great houseboat wakeboarding trip to don pedro lake which was awsome! But when I returned home to the grow I had balls hanging out everywhere. Out of my 17 wonder woman plants 9 were male. Not quite the ratio I was hoping for.
Oh well no use complaning about it Im gonna make the best of the 8 I still have and I do have the lone pk in the mix just for fun and to check it out. The co2 seems to do a lot for growth rate thats for sure I think they stretched about 8 inches over the weekend.
Since so many plants are now gone Im gonna lst these bitches all over the table for the rest of their stretching period and do my best to get a yeild out of them. I had to cut them out of the net that they were held by before to get the males out so this afternoon I will buy a new one and put up my pvc trellis. This method should get a lot of light to the plants.
Heres a few pics of the table of now 7 wonder woman and 1 purple kush.

DOnt worry you will still yield the same. Its all about the lights! not the plants, cause with out the lights there wouldnt be any plants. Now each plant can recive more lumens. subbed

I need to pull my back off then and see if I can rig something up for the intake. My exhaust is duct out already. Thanks for the tip.

haven't checked the specs on your bulbs or ballasts yet. But my money would be on the change of light spectrum more than anything else. Check into phytochromes 
Plants look great going into flower.
Oh, and I love your shed! + rep coming your way.
