Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

[jsgamber]

Only thing I didn't like about this stuff is that it wears out after a couple of grows. I don't know if it's from the heat of the lights, or just me cleaning down the Mylar.

Yeah it does but it's actually one of the things I like about this is that it's easy to take down. Besides after a few grow and the amount that you wipe your mylar down you may need to replace it after a few grows. I know each time I clean my mylar a bit of the silver coating comes off too so reflectivity may be diminished any ways.

IT'S UPDATE MONDAY !!!

My Tomato plant is still shooting up, I am not going to trim/cut it, I am just going to see what happens - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My Pepper plant is tiny but not surprising baring in mind the canopy above is pretty full and the 'Mystery - Seedling' Has shot up too , Never mind we'll see what happens - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Here is my 'Mystery-Seedling' towering over my little Pepper Seedling but she's looking nice, oh she's just been topped too !! - STELTHY

 

[talon]

Well if by some chance you get a pepper/cannabis hybrid out of this deal, I'm going to want some seeds man!

 

[talon]

She looks indica for sure.

 

[stelthy]

I haven't yet separated the Lavender I hope its not too late to do that I wanted to wait until I had a few 1L Air-Pots to put 2 or 3 in each, they have not arrived yet I hope they turn up soon! I can see the Lavenders roots getting pretty crouded in that pot - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

She looks indica for sure.

That'd be nice, its always nice to get on the Indica - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Its kinda hard to see from this pic but the plant on the right is my 'Strawberry-Thai' her lime leaves are darkening a bit since I upped her nuits, as soon as my Canna-Magnesium Supplement arrives this should darken her right up n sort her out - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My Great White Shark has turned into a monster already she is huge compared to the Strawberry-Thai, You can definatley see the difference in contrast between their leaves..And from just this I can already tell Hydro & DWC kicks SOIL's ass!!! lol ..I will never doubt you again HYDRO.. I promise

The Strawberry-Thai's stem when rubbed smells of sweet but mild THC, But the Great White Shark's stem smells deep and peppery and rich in THC So that's all good - Like dinner and desert .. I guess lol - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

The Great White Shark stands at 17" tall whilst the Strawberry-Thai is currently only 15" tall (although S.T is LST'd) but the canopy is pretty level which is good and the Mystery Seed is only a matter of 6" shorter.

I have decided to through the grow into Flower As of 7pm - I am going 12/12 with my 400W digital Lumatek ballast and an Osram 400W HPS bulb will replace my 250W Phillip's Metal Halide

Its exiting times I am sticking with the veg nuits until the 1st signs of pre flowers appear then I'll start with my flowering nuits - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Although the lower leaves are looking a bit droopy on the GWS the change from 250W MH to 400W HPS should be enough to make these ladies leaves raise up and welcome the extra light. The room is starting to look nice and full...its only going to get more full.. I can't wait - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Time for the change from 250 to 400, from Veg (18/6) to flower (12/12)!!! My green tube light was perfect for changing the bulbs in the dark so as not to piss my ladies off - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Back goes the 250W MH, out comes the 400W HPS .. Happy daze - STELTHY

 

[jsgamber]

Wow! Great update. I just put my 400w CMH bulb back in the cab. After having my 250w MH in there, it's a whole new light!

Having dinner and dessert...I like that. It's morning and I'm already hungry for dinner!

Oh yeah and sign me up for some of those CannaPepper seeds!!

 

[stelthy]

I will add the 1st part of 12/12 when lights come on later today the change in lamp temp/colour will be nice and the fan should clear the extra heat pretty well thanks to the cold winter we're having - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My air-cooled ballast area looks nice..But it could look nicer..So.... - STELTHY

 

[JeSt3r]

ur green light looks like a lightsabre xD

 

[stelthy]

Yet again I chose to colour code I bought a cheap 2nd hand green car neon on-line and wired it up with a multi-V transformer its only running at 7.5AC and that keeps the transformer plug cool I have this neon on a timer, sync'd to the 12/12 lamp timer settings, So to cut it short...The green neon comes on when the main HPS lamp comes on and switches off like wise so at a glance without looking at the time I can tell if its the plants night or day - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Once the lid is closed the green neon lights up and this is the result..It looks miles better in real life..I'll add better pics when I go 12/12 in an hour or so - STELTHY
