Right on, thats good to know.....have you heard/read anything about the negative effects, if any hard water has on plants..? cause thats really been my biggest concern here...
yeild and taste. check your water asap, my tap is straight murder for plants... sits at around 700ppm. my boys got a reverse osmosis filter he lets me use to fill my 2 5gal. i highly suggest stop using tap untill you know if its good er bad..

good luck man, and im sub'd here your girls are lookin real nice

good lookin' out bro...yea i stopped using the tap water a while ago and like i said in a earlier post have been buying water from one of those reverse osmosis fill station places for $1.00 a bottle...like the stuff you are getting from your boys place i am guessing....it is worth it to me to keep doing it this way knowing the water is all good, ya know? thanks for the props on my girls, i am super fuckin' stoked bro...first grow...sure you remember..lol..thanks again...:peace:

keep growin' bongsmilie

oh yea that water is good!

yes i do remeber ,and yours is hella nice for first time
Thanks a lot bro....I remember being all paranoid in the beginning that everybody else's shit online looked bomb as fuck and mine was all ratty....but they came around I guess...LOL... I tried not to dive right in not knowing shit or being prepared...did a few months of research...both online forums like this and various books...had my basic equipment ready to go before I cracked any seeds...think maybe that helped a little...thanks again for the water info...glad to know I am in the clear....

I noticed I forgot to put up pix of my infamous "veg closet" she is packed full but I have no more room in my flower area either with 14 girls under by two 400's.....way past my max but i didnt have much of a choice...i only toss in the girls that are sexually mature and have grown UP INTO the fluoro's....be easy with your comments LOL! ;-)

Niiice! How do you like your 600?? I was gonna get one of those but found these two 400w Mh/hps's that were actually cheaper...and unfortunately money was a factor even though I knew bigger was better...

love the 600. but the 2 400s is bad at all! i have the one hood/ballast so i have a conversion bulb
Right on bro...if you don't mind my asking how do those conversion deals work anyway..? I have to say i am pretty happy with my 2 400's....I know things could have been better with a bigger light but like i said before...its what i could afford at the time....a friend of mine actually just loaned me a 1000w HPS and its sitting in the garage right now...i would LOVE to hook it up but my current setup doesnt allow for venting or anything...soooo even though i know how much it would help me...i gotta wait a few more weeks till i move then i can slap that big dawg up...:peace:

Keep Growin'.....:leaf:
