    A few questions before I switch to flower...

    on second thought, if you do take out those center ones that would give you some more room to low stress train

    A few questions before I switch to flower...

    well, what I say is, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay within that height. My grown room is even shorter than that, I want to say its around 30", and I low stress trained everything to keep it super low. A lot of my branches are almost horizontal, but it seems like you don't have too much...

    thank you to both of you. ya I bought this magnifier because someone suggested it on here, but I wish it was a little stronger. I am getting anxious to smoke these beauties. They smell like grape pine needles and wonderfulness. I will remain patient.

    New electrical service choice

    I realize I'm a little late to the party here, since it sounds like your already made up your mind. Not sure where you live, and what local codes are. I am a licensed electrician. The voltage you can get to your building depends on what they have available on the street. For example 480v is not...

    Ballast Question

    it comes down to wire size, that's where the only savings is, which would be nothing in your situation. Think wire size is a hose, Voltage is water pressure, and amperage is the volume of water. Watts is just voltage times amperage 600 watts running on 120 volts is 5 amps--- One hose 600 watts...

    Ac is 230v?

    I'm an electrician, and what you are trying to do will work fine. You'll be putting in either a 2 pole 20 amp breaker or a 2 pole 30, depending on how big the unit is, but the instructions will say what it needs. Just make sure you use the appropriate wire size for the breaker you install.

    Ballast Question

    a 600w ballast draws 600 watts. So any ballast you get will be around that number. Not sure on any of these as far as heat goes, but running at 240 instead of 120 won't affect anything except your current draw. I'm an electrician, and just going off what I know from parking lot lighting, etc...

    What does 23watt 100 watt equivalent mean?

    I think your girls look very nice. I used t5's, and my girls are doing extremely well. plus the heat advantage is wonderful. If you are every wondering if you need more light pick up a lumen meter. I got this one off amazon and it definitely helps with making sure all the girls get enough light...

    Insane nutrient blend for a 3 week seedling? Dumb move?

    uhhhhh... less is more man. Also every time my dog pees in the yard it leaves a yellow spot so..... low strength, ease into it. I'm not a fan of the miracle grow route, but I've never tried it, I've only read bad things about it, so I really have no idea on that.

    CFL lighting question

    Maybe get yourself a lumens meter. I bought this one and it was the best investment, as I was giving my plants too much light when they were young and burning them out. Here's the link of the one I bought...

    Advice

    Ya man, let those things dry out a little, the leaves look a little yellowed, and def. get some perlite. That will help you from drowning them. I know it's hard to not over water, but just leave them alone for a few days. When i transplanted mine i did about 30% perlite, kept things nicey nice.

    How long left?? Plants cant support buds!!

    This is like when you think you have a big wiener, and then you see some other guys huge wiener and you feel self conscious. no homo... But wow, those ladies look amazing. Maybe a wire coat hanger made into a little loop around it and tied to the ceiling would work nicely. Just as a guard from...

    Harvest in 2 weeks? with pics

    Alright... well either way I'm going to probably push out my harvest a week. Thanks for all the knowledge. I can go to 10 different websites and get completely different methods on each one. Sometimes I over think each step. I just don't want to mess up. Thanks for the time.
