    defoliation when in flower

    This is what I expected you to say. With a large setup your right but ever tried add 2 x16" fan to increase air flow in a standard 1m tent, it doesn't work. Don't growers call it bud box or somthing when you try and put a small fan under the canopy and another one aimed down at the canopy so you...

    Open bulb in 4x4 tent?

    On short bushy plants, cfl works great in veg tbh I have never flower a plant under cfl but every thread that i have read about hps vs t5 in flower, has said you get denser buds and a higher yeild with hps so that's what i have always done.

    HPS Lighting Penetration--Only facts please

    The chart you found is full of good info but the distance from the hood to the canopy is only down to the heat, you want the hood really close to the canopy, do the back of the hand test, if you can't hold you hand at the canopy level because its too hot, its too hot for the plants so lift the...

    Thats a great ideal, use air cooled hood with a fan attached to one side, above the room and a square hole cut of of the top of the box, so the hood just fits and spot weld it in place somthing like this with this setup you could use a 600w hps and have the canopy 12" below the hood as the...

    so @Fast dog if you want to do a simple grow with good results, grow 3 or 4 plants in soil under 400w hps imo leds just a gimmic, pay a lot of money for the lights or you have to make them yourself, but the thing is the results are not better than a hps

    yes short answer is yes, larger the bud the higher the risk don't get any water on the buds, keep the floor dry and keep the humidty low 30-40 and the chances of getting bud rot is low

    Suggestions How to maximise a 4x2x5 tent

    how to max out a 4x2x5 tent, good question and tbh its not a good size your rooms to small for a 600w you could go for a 400w hps but that would only cover 3ft x 2ft could use 2x 250w hps side by side, never tried it but you should get a high yeild, heat from 2 x 250w hps could be a problem in...
