Thats the best way to learn , do what you wanna do ... if it works keep doing it, if it doesnt dont do it again lol ... thats what i like about this sport, 10 guys can grow 10 diff ways and end up with good results. I like using smaller pots personally.

i'm doing smaller pots this grow cuz i planted so many damn seeds to begin with and was super crowded in my space.. than after the males showed their heads, well, i guess i was just too damn lazy to transplant them...
i was actually going to transplant, than when i went to pick up the pot to take it out of my grow, it wouldn't fucking budge.. i was all like wtf man.. i had one pot sitting on top of another one that just had some old dirt in it to raise the canopy a bit, and when i went to move it i noticed it had this big ass root growing into the bottom pot all cool like, so i just left it alone.. :)

3x3 is perfect for 400/600 , id grow the same amount but theyd at least have soem room between them.

nah RB its a 600 galaxy up that lil bitch

hmm, don't know what i was thinking of then.. :(

and yah, i was talking to the dude at my local hydro store whom i really respect as he has talked me out of buying more expensive items and told me a cheaper item would work just as well as the over priced one..
anyhoo's, he was telling me that he wouldn't recommend a 400 wat'er unless i had atleast a 3 x 3 area, and i am like right on the border line as i have 3 feet one way and a lil over 2.5 the other way... i eventually got the 400 watter, and i have to admit, it's about as much as i would try an squeeze into my small space unless i did some serious revamping on the exhaust side of things..
i can't even imagine a 600 in my space.. temps would be like 110 with lights off, lol..

Hey yall, what's crackin? I'll be under at least one 600 hps. I have plenty of room, I'm planning to try and branch them out. I don't have journal just thought you'd like to see. :p

Hope that's cool.

i had a 400 before, maybe thats what you were thinking of. As far as space a 2x2 is good for a 400 IMO, mine was about 8" from the canopy and temps wer ein the 70s , the 600 is bit hotter, i have a honeywell turbo fan and it stays between 75-85 with the lamp 12-14" away... its all in how the fan is aimed, if its off a lil the temps go to the 90s.
Cheaper is usualy better in some cases, my hydro guy wants 300+ for a 3x3 tho lol, hes telling me the ones online are shitty, but i seen the same ones for alot cheaper. Was lookin at a 4x2 but i dont really care for the dimensions to much, maybe id have to see it on action. 3x3 seems perfect cuz ill never upgrade to a 1000 anyways.

Wow I didn't think you guys were in that small of spaces. I think my closet is around 36 sq ft, but the tents I think are 4 for the smaller tent and the bigger tent is 6 or 12. I was told that generally a 3x3 is 250 material, a 2x2 150, a 4x4 400, etc. but more light in a smaller space would be nicer obviously lol.

When you add up all the lighting in the big tent this time around it comes out to about 460w does that count :lol:. Only 250 is HPS though :sad:. I need to get some new pics up of the tent, I hung up the T5 vertically. About the only way the damn thing would fit lol. I hung it up on the right side though, so only the BBG is really gonna benefit I think. I was going to put it on the back of the tent, but realized that shit would be facing me when I opened the tent.

I go by watts per foot when i figure out the tent size. You want at least 50 watts /sq-ft. So a 600 in a 3x3 gives you 66 watts/sq ft , a 600 in a 4x4 only gets you 37.5 watts/sq-ft. If the tent is too big your gonna lose lumens/foot and it makes it hard to light it all unless you had a light mover.

You want as many lumens per foot as you can muster safely, right now mine is way to high @ 23136 lumens / foot LOL i think thats higher than the sun ffs

nah, the gdps are from connoisuer genetics, fem's, and the c99s are from a friend of mine.. he made them from joey weed stock.. he did a lot of work on the line and now has 3 pheno's all separated into seed form, and was nice enough to grace me with about 15 or more seeds of each pheno..
i went with the pineapple pheno as that is the one that everyone seems to talk the most about.. shit smells so fucking good, straight up pineapple funk.. omg, so good, lol..

shittt, id love to grow some c99, that strains got some history. you lucked out man.

ouch i had that shit happen to me like 4 years ago, i sprayed the fan leaves with neem oil and marigold flower mixed in foliar mix, a very small concentration. for the buds, i just sprayed the shit out of them with regular water then shook off any of the excess moisture to avoid any mold problems. hope you still gotta good harvest.
