Update - i will post pics soon. I've been treating Gavin proper mean, once he showed some signs of recovery i trimmed his fan leaves and topped him. Took him (or her?) 1 day in 26c sun to recover, champ just popped a whole bunch of new colas, he really is a fucking champ. I've been looking at the bonsai grows of @Silky_smooth and thinking that i might make Gavin a little project where i try to grow him in to something weird / unusual. Very excited, new grow tent and extraction arrived today, time to get busy with the Philips 600. It's literally sat there begging to shine. I love you 600. For real.

Just saw the thread title and got a surprise.

It's not LED but the good old HPS.

I'm a user and have been for a long time, always come back to the trusty 600 watt HPS.

Here are a pics pics from my previous grow which ended with just shy of 23oz so nearly a gpw.

Don't usually weigh but was asked so here we are.

Current grow will be under the same.

Dude, nice greenery. QQ, do you prefer a parabolic hood to a standard, what's been your experience (plusses and minuses)??

Parabolic wins every time simply because the coverage is so good.

My 1mtr fills every corner of my 1.2m x 1.2m and every grow is consistent.

Would not replace my parabolic for any other without a doubt.

Plus and minus, can't answer that because I have no good opinion of the rest simply because I don't need to look. I'm happy with my produce.

Parabolic every time.

Thanks man. Gonna see how I hit it this grow and then think about parabolic. I like the look of some people's stadium grows and i think parabolic hood would be perfect.

Gavin is no longer a problem. But Tina and Turner have received some crazy treatment due to stunting. They are not happy but I think they will be ok tomorrow. Question, I’m new to 600hps, when do I use the three light modes (250/400/600) or is it just 600 all the way?

Took my skateboard out for a quick spin to see how it felt. It felt good! Then I started carving the driveways up my street. Didn't quite make a turn perfectly and caught my back wheel on the grass. I new it might happen so I was prepared to bail out. Unfortunately bailing out at 58 and 17 stone is much different than it was at 17 and 10 stone. My leg buckled and I put my arm out to catch my fall. Arm buckled and I slammed the ground full force with my left side from my head to my toe. Saw stars and was very embarrassed. Hopped back on my skate and headed back home. I was in front of my house when I started to really hurt. Put the skate in the garage and hobbled to the back door of the house. By the time I got in the door I was in full moaning pain. I got to my recliner hoping that it would allow me to relax enough to feel better. Soon I was having trouble breathing. I asked Mrs. Mo to get me some water and some Advil. It got worse. Mrs. Mo called 911. When the paramedics arrived I was in excruciating pain and I was so tense I couldn't breathe (they later told me my lips were blue!). I think the Advil finally kicked in and I was able to relax and breathe. It took all of my concentration.

Broke a rib and punctured a lung.
Stay healthy by exercising - bah humbug. This is going to put my garden work behind by at least a month! :cuss:
But as Mrs. Mo likes to point out - at least I'm not dead. :bigjoint:

Oh my god! Mo, I’m so glad your ok! I about peed masself reading that but it’s so true, you just go down harder as you age and it doesn’t heal as fast which is salt in the wound. I have recently thought of the same, thankfully I don’t have my last skate or we’d probably be lamenting the same story. Guess I’m not going to get a new board now either, crossed my mind. lol read the tea right! We just had to reminisce.... geez....

Dam Mo, sounds like a bad one. Glad you are ok. I was at the playground with the boys yesterday and heard a kid do a body plant full on the concrete.....that concrete body slamming noise is nasty!!!

Running is too high of impact for my busted up knees. I really need to get my body by marshmallow into an exercise regimen. Tired of being flabtastic!

Hey y'all, I'm still struggling to dial my shit in. I think trying to dial it in using Autos is like trying to pin the tail on a stabbed rat. I think my pH has locked everything out, girls have done nothing in 3 days under a 600w Philips - something ain't right at the circle K (pH is 7.6 fuck knows how). Decided today to switch back to photoperiods, i know what i'm doing there and i'm not short of space or limited by time. Will grow out Gavin and the gang to see what happens but chalking this up to a valuable life experience. Peace, love and Bud. HN.
