Ok everyone, I've been gone for work for awhile, and its kind of disapointing to see bickering bullshit here. I'm going to resume this and I will not engage in dramatic crap with any of you. I will post pictures and details of how things are going and you can judge for yourself. but please, be all growed up here and act accordingly.
Yes the light hoods were fabricated by me, but my gf and i are partners at a fabrication shop (waterjet, fab and powdercoating), so i am more than capable of building a hood. We may start building hoods for Mike for the commercial grow side of his business and also for any retail customers that he needs a hood for.
The plants under the hps have been flowering for 4 weeks. They are a Blue Dream and a Jerry Berry (thats what i was told and unless one of you can identify it as something else, I'll go with it). The plants under the hfind light have been under it for 5 days, (they were started flowering under the hps for another 7 days while I was getting the hoods built and power boxes built, I ran 220 into the room so i could quit pulling juice through the house)they are also a blue dream and a Jerry Berry. We are staging the plants every 2 weeks. Tonight will be the first side by side start of 2 identical plants under the hps and the hfind.
One thing that i have noticed about the hfinds is that the plants are looking bushier, time and pictures will tell. So far i am happy with the lights and what they are doing.
In the veg tent, there is a 400 watt mh next to the hfind. Unless i am imagining things, the plants under the hfind are also looking bushier.
Here come the pics.
