    400 Watt Vero29 V7 vs 400w digital HID/cool tube

    we tried out a cree 3590 100 watt Cob framework from Timber with one plant. It grew an incredible jack herre that produced a little over 3oz. Loved how it worked so we bought the Vero 29 V7's 900 Watt framework for a 5x4 grow room. we run it at about 80% and the plants look amazing. No heat...

    Deficiencies?

    we think you need to transplant into larger pots. they are most likely root bound and also some nutr burn on the tips. stop using shit fert's. also. miracle grow sucks. go organic or at least use decent stuff.

    Need help with grow light info

    i'd not risk burning my house, shed or barn down with something that looks so beat up and basically ready for the trash heap. As Blake999 said buy new, safer, better and probably more efficient.

    LOL. agree. they need nutes, we have ran them 24/0 and 20/4 and 18/6. Not side by side comparisons but haven't found much if any difference in yields. We trans-plant at two weeks from 16oz cups to 5 gallon buckets. We grow big honking autos for sure. Smallest yield in the last four years was...

    we are leaning towards the 600 watt crees from Timber for our 4x4 space. based on all the data we've read and our experience trying out Timber's 100 watt Crees on an indoor winter grow. We were very happy with the penetration, color spectrum and quality of the product n service Dan provided.
