    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    LOL!!, you and me both bro. No one should have to be subjected to the muff without some sort of warning. Haha! Thanks for stopping by and glad to have you along for the last couple weeks here. Shits getting really sticky and stinky in there but I still have to be patient and let it finish up...

    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    Week 7 starts today. The TW is finally starting to smell and crystal up really nice. Not sure how much time is left but I'm being patient. Too many people on this site chop way too early and I can't stand unripe buds. I'll get pics up today. :blsmoke:

    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    That doesn't surprise me. I think the TW would turn into a huge tree outside. I'd expect at least 10', if not more.

    testing nutes and ph ?

    WTF does AN have anything to do with this? They give you bad information and its all of a sudden fact because they make millions selling overpriced nutes to suckers?

    testing nutes and ph ?

    Don't use organic acids for ph control. They aren't stable and don't keep the ph at any given level very long. Get the proper stuff at the hydro store. Its not that expensive, I can't understand why people cheap out on something so fundamental to your plant's health. Try using vinegar and...

    Best time to cut branches

    I cut all the budsites off the bottom 2/3 of the plant within 2 weeks of flipping the lights. I do mine all at once and end up with a ton of clones.

    Taking care of my pH meter?

    Yeah, you could do that I suppose. I am really curious as to why the manufacturer strongly recommends against distilled water for storage purposes.

    HPS, how much wattage for this??

    That's how it is in every MMJ state. Until its made legal on a federal level, the circus is going to continue.

    HPS, how much wattage for this??

    I tend to agree with your local grow shop. I'd put 2 1000w or 3 600w in there. With air-cooled hoods, you can get the plants really close to the glass without burning them. I've got 4' plants in my tent inches from the glass without any heat damage from the light.

    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    Seriously, I wonder what lumatek was thinking going with a 360w setting. But yeah, you are right, it would be the last ballast you would need since it would run everything except 150w and 1000w bulbs. What kind of space are you working with? I've seen guys stuff a 600w into pretty small...

    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    Yeah, my bad. I didn't realize the low setting was 360w, not 250w. You are correct that you can dim a 600w bulb or run a 400w bulb. A 250w bulb at 360w isn't very safe. You'd have to get either a 400w or a different ballast if you intend on running a lower wattage bulb. The 400w lumatek...

    Drooping from underwattering?

    Probably too many nutrients, too fast. You want to make subtle changes to avoid shocking the plant. Any idea what your EC is?

    Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

    Yes, it is. I haven't fiddled with those settings but its good to know they're there if you need them. I flipped the super lumen switch for a few minutes once but didn't notice enough of a difference to keep it like that. I'd rather the bulb last a little longer than try to squeeze more light...

    Colorado Med Growers, Unite

    I've got one of those Way to Grow stores near me and they never have anything I need, so they forfeited my business. They've got a great selection and carry the nutrient lineup I use but after at least 5 occasions of driving across town to find an empty shelf of what I need, I'm through. The...

    What area does one 600w HPS cover?

    Thanks. I hope they turn out nice. A few weeks left still... Yeah, a single 600w lumatek in an xtrasun hood. The tent is advertised as a 4x4x7 but its really 56"x56"x78". Like I said earlier, I could easily fit another 600w in there to get ridiculous light coverage.

    Thanks! Yes, that is how it is run. You can pull through the hood too if you want. There is no right or wrong way as long as you are pulling through the filter. The filter is around 30lbs but I have its load distributed between two cross-members. My friend has his filter on the ground and...
