Looks like u got it all ready to go with the ballasts up in the ceiling. I noticed u recommend sunmaster over eye. As you may or may not know, I've been using the Eye dual arc super blue, and have noticed some effects on my scrog (I think) due to the bulb. I have been considering just using the super blue flower weeks 1-2 to help cut down with stretch and appeal to that veg growth and then using pure hps for the last 6 weeks or so. Do you think sticking with the dual arc multi spectrum is best, or do u think a sunmaster 1k hps would provide better par? Thanks for any insight.

I'm all about the full spectrum bro. I run 2 halides and one HPS in my flower room at home. Yields haven't suffered because
of it, and I'm getting some great trichome production. That dual arc sounds awesome.

your take on ceramic metal halide? i know they only come up to 400 watts but still seem very interesting....

Cool bulbs, looks like a nice spectrum. Although I don't support its inability to run on an
E Ballast it looks like one of the best bulbs for a magnetic. I know RiddleMe has been
growing with one, I remember when he was super jazzed to get it but I haven't seen his
results as of late.

Its a thing of beauty to look at 90 of them just as green and healthy.

I could confidently put these in to flower tonight and yield 3 zips per plant (16 pounds)
Unfortunately the flower room is infinished and they will be veggin for a few more days.

They're averaging around 13 inches right now, with a few at about 6" and some at 16".

If I missed it, sorry, but I saw that you said you will be using bottled CO2 for this grow. What are the dimensions of this room (if you don't mind), and how many bottles will you need over what period of time? I am thinking of trying to seal a 20x20x12 room and would prefer to use bottles just for simplicities sake.

Thanks, and your grow looks awesome. I might have to stop by your shop sometime, it's about 10 minutes from here!

Room is 24' x 32'.

We have a 100lbs bottle of CO2 we'll be refilling. We'll see how often we fill it. This will be my first time growing in here, and my
predecessors didn't utilize the space properly enough to have a good judgment on the amount of CO2 we'll be using.

Bottles can be nice, Way to Grow refills bottles for 9.99. In my 1800W home garden which is 10x10x8, I go through a normal
20lbs CO2 canister once every 2 weeks.

Please come by the shop, always welcome and we love feedback good/bad as long as it's constructive.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I saw that price over at Way To Grow, that's a good deal. Where would you get a 100lb tank filled?

Thanks, when I get around to stopping by I'll introduce myself.

What CO2 controller do you use in your home garden?

We've been using Coca Cola to fill the CO2 :P haha. But we're so close to Way to Grow in Boulder,
and they said they would fill our 100lbs tanks for us. We do a ton of business with them as you can
imagine.

I'm in the dispensary on Sundays only, being the "master grower" I spend most of my time in the warehouse.

and I use the Hydro Innovations CO2 ppm meter, very simple, very reliable.

Thanks! Yea I've been cleaning all day and the footprint of this lighting array is ridiculous. The whole
room is being blasted. And so far temps have peaked at 80 without our hoods even being ducted. Things
are working out.

24kW running in beautiful unison. Time to scrub. I'll show you the squeaky clean 4x8 trays tomorrow.
