Lacy's Indoor Grow??? (lots of questions)

[Rocky Mountain High]

Alright, Lacy's back at it!!

Thanks HoLe. yes i know. I did let chiceh know and asked her to pass along the message. I did hurt myself bad and hubby was not letting me on the 'puter no matter what and since he was home for 3 weeks... I do feel much better now thanks

I am picking up my light on Monday.
I am getting a 1000 watt MH light system with a 3 foot parabolic reflector.

I am just not sure about the bulb choice. The guy suggested I go for a warm bulb and use it for both.

Sunmaster.

I am not sure if I like this idea or not. i think I would like to be more specific in regards to the light spectrum.

Any suggestions fellow growers? Anyone?

everythings lookin decent. how bout some pix?

oh that is going to to be soooooo awesome...1000W........in the words of Hum....hooooaaahhhhh!@!!!!

what do you need to compare....lumens/lumens per watt, CRI (ideal = 100), relative wavelength energy and spectrum distribution.

Sylvania 1000W 4000K BT56 Universal Metal Halide - this bulb seems to have a lot going for it? you'd think right? well CRI 65, lumens/w 86 lumens per watt.....both those figures are relatively low.....

this is a good comparison site.....a CRI of 90+ is achieveable, and >100,000 lumen or 100 lumens per watt is also achieveable....Compare Metal Halide Grow Light Bulbs Eye, Sunmaster, Solarmax, GE

the Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) lights discussed in another thread...are another consideration - you give up lumens for better CRI and in some opinions a better distribution of appropriate spectral properties....

Nice light choice lacy, I have a 1000 watt mh going right now, with that similar reflector (I think?). Does the reflector come in many pieces that all screw together around the light socket? And is white on the inside instead of silver? Make sure you control the temps real good. I have an exhaust going on reverse to bring in cool air. I find this easier that taking hot air out. As well I have a fan circulating the air in the white mylar room, lol.

Yeah tahoe. You are just a source of useful information.
I checked out the site and decided I could get just as good a deal at a dealer not too far away. When I add on the tax and delivery fee it comes out to about the same so i'd rather pick it up myself but I really appreciate the threads you have send me so far. They have been just PERFECT!

This guy says that I can get something like a broad spectrum warm bulb to do both flowering and vegetation.

I am assuming he means the sunmaster warm.

Thanx again

thanks chiceh. It took me that long to convince hubby it was a good choice. I'm so glad i held out. I'm bad

Right now it is going to be well ventilated because I have no room. just a part of an unfinished basement. i do have a nice 7 x 3 ft. table to put the plants on.

The reflector I am getting is white and comes in pieces. It looks like a 3 foot umbrella.

What bulbs do you use chiceh? for veg? and flowering?
I haven't decided on that and I need to know before Monday morning. No pressure though. (lol) j/k...sort of.

I am glad that i decided on a MH light instead of a HPS.

I thought I posted all these pics in my grow journal but I put them in the wrong thread.

So here are some pics. i am not sure how far I should have my plants but right now they are about 4 feet about. I'll move them closer as they adjust.

 

[Lacy]

Sorry the pics are so small. I have a new camera, new zoombrowser and am on dial up. I shuck this entire file but I shrank it too small.
Squint! I will try and add some descent size pics.

Thats why i don't visit some people
s journals cause the size of all the pics shuts my 'puter down.

 

[Lacy]

showing individual plants....

 

[Lacy]

And more.......

 

[Lacy]

More!..............

 

[Lacy]

Showing size of leaves and stuff.

 

[Lacy]

I gave my girls (only found one male so far) a good clip and saved some of the tops as clones.

And then more pics

 

[LoopDigga]

you're overwhelming me with pictures...but I love it. Looks great, good job!
