My research concurs. Well put :-o

Flowering increased height of my plants by a tad more than double, after 8weeks. I was running out of ceiling with a cooltube 400 (vented), so had to top one. I should have topped it sooner, it created 4 colas, but they werent as big as i bet they couldve been. Looks like it may be close on...

Carry on your prescribed light schedule, and give em 10-14days before doing anything rash. These plants act like weeds sometime. Crazy weeds! Watch for balls, and pretend it never happened. Or, if you just gotta get room for a special batch, quit wasting time and cut them bitches.:fire:

Im using a heater to keep my temps warm enough in the basement. No worries with the heat. I've placed my hand within 12" of hood and heat is not an issue. Intensity, however, is another story. 6'x8'x7'tall room. 60cfm venting perhaps. Humidity drops when 1000w is in use. Got curled leaves on my...

Sorry to hi-jack. raised my 1000mh up to 30" from 2week olds, and the new growth still wanted to curl. Im using a vented hood, its definately not a heat issue. So, since i couldnt raise the lights more, I switched to my 400hps, 16" away. The curling has stopped, and all look like they are gonna...

Keep up the awesome work man! Remember people, "this isnt about speed and yield!" He make it clear that he is seeing just how low and small you can get away with. OF COURSE, he would get bigger faster result with more light. Ive seen tons of threads with big lights, but Mr. Growone has got...

HOORAY, all panic was a waste of time! My babies pulled thru. Thanks for all the help. I think I've confirmed the curling issue. I switched out my 1000mh (it was 36" above plants, to my old 400hps (now 16" from). After about 48hrs, the newest growth looks strong and healthy. Most of the...

Im using a soiless 50/50 perlite vermiculite. The weigh it and water method works for me. Once my 3 gallon pots are full of water (about 1gal), it takes about a week for me to rewater with 1/2 gallon. I stop when the tiniest bit runs out. They get drier with my 1000w over my 400w, faster of...

Well, Ive since watered my babies with 1/2 strength earth juice grow and a touch of bloom. I repotted them in perlite/verm mix and they took the transpant well it seems. Tiniest drooping, but success i think. I know the roots aren't logged in water, and the lights have been at 32-36" above...

Looking good man. I was just browsing over some old pc cases i got-cuz of you-:bigjoint: I wouldnt worry about the LST hurting them. I'm no pro either, but i LST'd the shit outta mine at ALL stages from 2" and up thru flower and back. Everything BUT the lst seemed to hurt them. Im gna LST most...

Thanks for the replies so soon. Im new to the 1000w club, but so happy ive got too much light...for anything. Im using this potting mix until i repot into 3gal w/1 part perlite and 1 part verm. Im still so confused about the earth juice i got, Im not sure how to ph it. I had read NOT to give...

I know this has been covered millions of times, but i didnt find any pertaining to seedlings only about 10 days old. Here's the short setup 1 part perlite 3 part peat moss 1 part vermiculite Soil ph steady at 6.7 Watered with tap water buffered to 6.0 w/sulfuric acid (perhaps this is issue...

I've kept my sprouts at 8" from my 1000mh, and now im sensing some upwards curling at week 2. I think it's heat stress (ah so nice to have too much light!!). Im going to go to 24" above the plants and gradually get it down to 12". I hope that takes the curl out. Anyone else know the answer to...

with the cool tube, i was running about a 2' duct w/no filter. I never did use a filter with the tube. I broke down and ended up buying a hood, and installed the filter and fans on it. Much better light displacement, i would guess nearly double.

This was vented w/a small cpu fan at end of 4" hose. It had only been on for about 8hrs when i did this. :mrgreen: (400w hps)

80cfm each minimum my guess. Since im running 2, but restricted. im guessing 80 or so total maybe. The hood is only about 1-2 ftsq and thats my main concern for heat.

Again, not my idea, but seems to be keeping my 1000w hps and MH cool, While keeping the smell nuetralized. It cost me around $40 or so. Using a fan in filter and one at end of hose. I've since upgraded to 6" hose and the fans fit perfectly! Dont forget the rivets and panty-hose. :mrgreen:

Not my idea, but here's some more pics of what i ended up with. will fit a 400w hps bulb and get you as close as 7" w/a cpu fan for venting. Again, NOT my idea, there's TONS of posts and how-to's on it. Is it cheating if I fish for rep by reposting a "dead horse"?

A place to put all the random shit I've learned and screwed up since the inception of the idea......................bongsmilie

I do believe you are right. Thanks!
