Ya I have anywhere between 4-6 girls in my box at any given time I cut and add 2-3 girls every 4 weeks.
as well each plant as only 1 1/2 - 2 feet tall by the end.

Week 2 into flowering.
I really love my new 400w. its like day and night compared to my 200w cfl.

i like the box setup, I also use some t5's in my 4 x 4 box for some extra boost down low. I ran my horizontal but that fits your box nicely

Thanks man. I use 4x4' t5's with my 600w's and i run them horizontally as well. the way i see it everyone should use them. your nugs might not get much bigger at the bottom but they sure do make them more dence.

I can't wait to see the yield off a plant that spends a whole 10 weeks in my flower box, now that I added a 400w mh to my 600w hps. I am planning to let them spend the first 4 weeks of flower on the MH dominant side, the next 4 weeks on the 600w hps side, and the final 2 weeks in the center between the 2 lamps.

1k watts for 5 plants....

I'm trying 12/12 from seed with my 400w right now. I threw my others into flower the other day and figured "Why not try something fun with my freebies?" I'll keep progress posted here.

 

[rasputin71]

good luck with that, i will never try 12/12 from seed again.

 

[DumpsterKeeper]

Hehe, not worth it? Or just a pain in the ass?

EDIT: Page CLAIMED

I did it in a party cup from seed so my view is likely tainted. Mine was a freebie seed also. I felt so bad that I up-canned it and moved it to veg, then finally culled it. Good luck with yours and let us know how it goes. I like trying new things but I also have a MM plant count to deal with, that likely affected my decision.

Mine will probably end up different. I'm using 8 inch pots and may do scrog or LST. I figure I might as well have some fun with my new lamp.

I bought a 400 watt HPS with cooler system today but it comes with no fan to actually cool it with. How necessary is it to have a fan to cool the bulb with? Could I get away without one or is it necessary? My grow closet is about 4.5 - 5 foot tall.

 

[DumpsterKeeper]

I don't have a fan cooling the bulb and mine is doing fine. I would think having the bulb cooled will just make it easier to control the temp of the room.

400's generally run cool anyway. for one its not totally necessary i would say if you where running more than one to get a inline fan but if its working good than why bother sometimes when it gets really cold out i keep the fan off to heat my room a bit.

Thanks guys

 

[ak47caretaker]

here is my pics 51 days old, 3 weeks into flowering, let me know what you think

 

[DumpsterKeeper]

Are those all under a single 400, AK?

 

[ak47caretaker]

there is 8 plants, the bushy ones (clones)are a AK- and a strain from up here called grizzly-depaul . the tallest one , pic 1,is straight up ak so what u think?

Well I can happily join the 400 club. Everything is up and running smoothly and only a few slight concerns but nothing i can't handle. Anyways.... Here is everything!

Sunblaze 2' t5 lamp/propagation dome and trays w/ Super plugs (awesome starting medium) & a Heat mat
400w Lumatek Digital Ballast
Jardin DR100 3'X3'X6' Tent
4" 174cfm inline fan w/ scrubber
2 6" clip on circular fans
1 Relion Cool Mist Humidifier
Using FFLW & FFOF (started them all in a 50/50 mixture. experimenting and transplanted 3 to a 100% FFOF mixture and the other 2 to a 50/50 mix and will feed as necessary with FF Nute line & Solubles)

Those are the girls as of today (day 7 of veg 12 if you count it from breaking ground which most people do i guess)
The pictures of all of them were the day i actually put them in the tent. The close ups are today.
