400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

Im gonna start to grow master kush and snow white both under my mh/hps 400 watt anyone has experience with these seeds from nirvania I plan on growing them for about 16 to 18 weeks anyone have suggestions? would anyone have a educated guess on yield and what size pots should i use?

anybody at all?
 
The point I was making was however you measure it, the heat generated by a 400 watt HID is less than the light over my head right now.

If you think that anyone is going to waste their time looking at a 400 watt heat signature, you are misinformed.

casbud,

I would not worry about a 400 watt system in a 20 X 25 foot room, period.

Good Luck. :joint::peace:

I have two friends that used to be cops and they told me that they can only detect multiple light grows because those are the only ones that generate enough heat to be visible. A one light system, even up to 1000w, in a climate controlled room, with the normal precautions, will not show up in FLIR. Look up all of FLIR videos you want on Youtube and you will see they all are busted because of multiple light systems. Remember that if FLIR was this sensitive, every HID light used in the city, in street lights, over driveways, in parking lots, would register false readings. Its a FLIR not an X-RAY machine.


For the container question, use Bato's square 3 gallon Rose Buckets.
 
I got one more question regarding 400w I posted in an electrician thread to no avail.

Is there any special precautions i need other than the ballast to plug that baby in?
Special plugs anything?

Nah man ballast is pretty much it but one thing to pay attention is the voltage its using sometimes you get ballast that wants european style volts (which can be converted) or standard us 120
 
Most 400 watt lights will require a Mogul socket which plugs into the ballast.

Usually when you buy a light and a fixture, it will be attached to the fixture. (some don't and you would need to wire them, but I haven't seen those in the US)

Peace - :joint::peace:

one 400 will not be enough light for six plants, unless they were tiny. i had six to start and by the time flowering time came, i already needed room. killed three males shortly after. i say 2 big ones or 3-4 smaller ones.
 
that makes my lungs hurt just lookin at it. very nice looking bud main. how well does the rest of the plant grow after you cut the tops off? thinking about doing the same thing.

haha tyvm, I really dont think its effecting the bud maturation at all.. I would highly recommend it if you have a tall plant and light that doesnt cut through the canopy.
 
very nice fuzzy, did i inspire you to chop? lol


CAUGHT ME! lol. yea trikes were about 70 amber rest cloudy and shes just so damn dence, moving on tho. i got my buddies plant witch will b done in a month, so ill have a full flowering chamber to werk with. fresh start, but i need sum new strains tho, i got the DWC one that just poped pre-flowers, so i got that to top in a week er two then, let it grow sum colas to clone and flower in soil.

2 plants, the GOOD AK-47xjuicy fruit, witch is the more shiny (and bottom row) and then the trouble plant, witch is all goin to canna-butter
 
400 depending on where u live, is about $20-$25 a month xtra. plus fans and veg room i get about a $55 dollar jump on the bill
 
Bang-up plants, everybody - really nice! :clap:

Here's my girl in a time-lapse, sort of.. one week apart each. She's got 6-8 weeks to go yet...
