naw its a 600 wattIs that a 1000w hps ? great looking plant , topped and some lst ? , i think that light could be closer
Oh shit, I have the same ballast and I'm growing PE. How much did you pay for the ballast? Is it 1000 watt? If so, do you ever use the 1100 watt setting?
nice sounds good but another way witch i am useing is to go and find some floor drains like the ones in either moble homes or even your kicten sink and just use an caulk to seal them in i like the kicten sink drains a lil better because you can put those screens in them so you can catch any thing big before it starts a clog!!!!
yeah man , will check by and take a look , just munching on a carbonyara before lights on lol , you all good ?
Ok , a 600w hps ideal range from highest point of canopy is 1.5ft ,
THE OLD ROOM I GOT NE DIAMOND MYLAR NOW. BUT IN MY CLOSET OF 4X2X5 IM RUNNING A 1000W SUPER GROW HID HPS AND WITH 3 STRAINS THEY ARE WHITE RHINO / BLACK WIDOW / AND AFRICAN FREE AS YOU CAN SEE MY CLOSET IS COMPLETLY FROM SCRATCH AND BUILT WITH AS MUCH HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS I COULD LOL

View attachment 1907854View attachment 1907853I basically try and cover everything I have learned from over 30 years of experience including refreshing my current knowledge with any new and up and coming technologies..I was a biologist in college so I bring that to my own table..my biggest word of advise..Listen to your plants......being this is far from the world I knew back in 1975 when I had my first grow of one plant on a back porch (it was a male by the way) a lot has happened with technology....my meager beginnings started with CF L's as they are cheap (many of the 13W here cost $1) and safe to work with in retrospect I would recommend T5 tubes for surface area efficiency hands down but after having my plants tell me they love that HPS sunshine I did chicken out and put down the LED Beams and Laser Beams and supplanted "all that" with a beginners 150W HPS and recently a 400W HPS to bring the girls home from the prom whenever I decide to turn out the lights for 12/12 I am going total experment here flying by the seat of my pants and whatever you can find and find cheap so far the limited factor for me is the cost of juice..electricity....got plenty of sub freezing weather to take care of the temps...using a combination of 12V solar battery oscillating fans (HA _ WE GOT NO SUN HERE HOWEVER) and 110V as well ... I can get the 12V fans to cool off the tops of the HPS and floro...I can hit 96 degrees easy without air movement so it's always a balance....I use whatever I can get soil I do have some pretty fancy dirt but I like using a almost 100% perilite sand vermiculite--but mostly perilite to prevent root rot later giving the most surface area for oxygenation for the roots on PLUS the bush baby you see here is only a Halloween baby and is already starting to drink close to 1+ quarts of h2O per day showing excellent respiration occuring here I use well and rain water pH around 6 its hard as hell ( I test for everything but correct nothing..lazy) so far so good as we all know seedlings are weak so when you get to the stage in growth where you see a bark like pealing coming off the stalk you know you have root structure and can begin forcing the plant to do various things I use a variety of soils all random will categorize all the variables when I start getting the results I want -- I run a watt meter/ammeter in-line so I can get a total readout of my usage which can go from 780 (veg only) to 1375 or a bit more....have currently 1 veg area 10 foot by 6 by 6 and my hot flower room a bit narrow at 2 foot but goes 6 foot up and foot long...in the first stages all around ..have never ever FINISHED an indoor grow..this is my first
