That was for my single 400 watt which is overkill.

It works great for me.

What were the temps like? With a stronger exhaust fan you could have the light closer to the tops. Your light looks like it is over a foot away... it should be 6 inches away

Can filter 66 with 400cfm inline fan
2x 400 watt chrome dome, built in reflector.
8 to 10 inches from top, unless working in garden.
never warmer than 74 degrees 23 celcius.
The hoodless lights work great. can directly move the heat away with small fans.

I would love to see some chrome domes.. anyone else use them, or see anyone else that does? let me know please...

My temps top out at around 70 degrees.

Went down and measured 7 inches to the tops. (raised the lights to take the pictures)

Running the FAN thru the Hood lowers the temp 10 degrees at the lowest setting and 10 degrees at the highest setting.

So the air throughput at this point doesn't matter.

BTW - This box is designed to run in the summer time

the thread is my sig but to be more efficient ill just show what im talking about..

while understanding it has alot to do with genetics, can anyone give me any other reason for the freakish amount of leaves growing every which way out of my cola (there are 7, woulda been 6 but i broke one and it became 2, 4 dominant ones) and the one seems to be the only one showing such ridiculous behavior..


the last pic is just the entire plant for reference

and yes, this is under a 400w hps so dont yell at me, i belong here! lol

Man you're either re-veggin' or waaaaaaay too much N

I agree hardroc
What are you feeding her Mr. Oasis?

There is only a few things besides genetics that I know of. If you loos the majority of your fan leaves, especially in early flower, and can cause excessively leafy buds. Otherwise flowering under HM bulbs has been know to do that, but you are using hps. Or as started above, if your light cycle got messed up and your plants are revegging. If you know its not any of these, most likely genetics.

actually all those answers sound pretty good lol, its def not a light issue tho as they've been on a timer for months....there was bone and blood meal in the soil when i repotted at about 6 weeks or so other than that it was just roughly thirds of perlite vermiculite and peat moss but no other nutes/ferts til about 2 weeks into flower (cause i was lazy and didn't want to to get them, shame on me)
...i felt like i had some premature leaf drop so i supplemented every 3rd watering (after week 5) with an all purpose MG (i know...) 8-7-6 fert along with fox farms big bloom/tiger bloom, using the hps rt now as well soooo im gonna say all you guys are right and i just F*ed myself 3 ways from sunday lol, chalk it up to experience

so now with this prognosis....is this gonna cost me any of my bud, or maybe just some double-duty sweat equity when i go to trim this bad boy, and also will it delay my flowering time at all? as of today im entering week 11 so you could say they were already moving a little slow, i have another (not pictures obviously) that should be done in the next 10-14 days, thanks for the help guys, ill throw up some pics before harvest, its nothing special rt now

Wow dude, shits crazy- never seen that before... Your strain looks similar to some of the haze's i've grown from the greenhouse seed co... but they've never done that to me.

I would add at least a week or two to your final harvest because of that, it looks like they have lost their focus on flowering and directed it to veg production- it'd be good to redirect it towards flowering. A bloom booster might be good as well.

To speed up the final trim you could remove some of the leaves as well- it wouldnt be a bad idea, because with that many leaves on it you probably can spare a few. it may even help the light penetrate and harden your nugs.

nice buds fuzzy. i have 2 400Ws under 5 decent size plants how far should the globe be from the tops of the plants??

thanks for ya help.

i have an econo-wing (not cooled) so mines a foot away, if i had an air-cooled i would drop it more, EVENTUALY i will but not now. wat kind of wing and cooling system do u got tho? heres a pik...just take a pik reaaaal quick, there!...

oh yeh i actually have no cooling system just a fan blowing gently under the 400W globes seems to be doing the job. how far would u suggest i put the globe fuzzy?

thanks dude

sorry dude i mean lights lol temps get 20 at night minimum and 32 maximum when lights on. sorry my camera is broken at the moment

yeh i will get a cooling system aventually, thanks heaps for ya help man much appreciated.

good luck with your grow

If you don't have an exhaust fan than you won't be able to grow anything with those lights, it will be too hot
