Strongly considering modding my 8-bulb setup with a plexiglass cage of some sort. I'll see what they have at the local stores and see what I can come up with. I have the SunStar HTG clone of the bad boy... very similar except the lights do not have switches and the ballasts are between instead of above so there's a gap... none the less, it's working pretty well, save for the fact that I have to be kind of careful about how close I let them get, as I have had a few burns and some wilting on hotter days. (Still dialing in exhaust system, but have been keeping things open air to compensate.)You can reinforce the light fixture using simple components. Also, with a few pieces of Plexiglas and duct connectors, you can run a cool tube type fixture where the light can touch the plant for days without burning....delivering more light distribution than a 1000 Watt HPS. Just simple engineering and a trip to Lowes.
Plastic air pots come off while leaving behind a mint condition rootball and super easy to transplant, all you have to do is stack them on top of more dirt like a pyramid...the plant will grow down into the next medium.... theyre easy to water and you CANT over water... theyre great in ebband flow as they have perforations for water entry and drainage evenly...hey prof, why the plastic air pots instead of smart pot style ones, i actually like the plastic ones alot especially their compost bin they make but fuck man $$$$$$$$$ lol so im tryin to find the distinct advantage of going to those instead of smart pots, im actually using smart pots right now in my micro grow.
The way you shot that the 1000wt def looks like it is growing the thicker buds.here is a side by side comparison of a t5 with coral bulbs vs a 1k with an eye hortilux. They are 5 weeks apart. Im liking the t5 much more. Both lights do bleed a little into each side. thats all the room I have. Also I have since lowered the t5 and put the ducting back up on the 1k. was doing maintenance and cleaning .
I will document all this to put an end to t5 haters. the t5 is so much more brighter than my 1k
using 3 gal pots and feed guano tea that's it

No!... they will not work as well....If you've read the thread, the pr0fesseur doesn't recommend any of those bulbs. I believe someone asked about the 10,000k bulbs a while back and the recommendation from the pr0fesseur was a 10,000k bulb could be used in place of the 75.25 bulb to supplement the Orange , green, and yellow spectrum BUT it in no way was superior to the 75.25 bulb.Would these work just as well? Would you do 2 10,000k and 2 3000k or all 10,000k?
That's because the 1000w plants are 5 weeks ahead of the T5 plants..... Dude!!!.. just read what you quoted.The way you shot that the 1000wt def looks like it is growing the thicker buds.
I may have missed that, but it doesn't seem right that a 10k bulb would be supplementing orange, green, and yellow, when it is a super blue. Are you sure about that? Can you point me to the page you are talking about please?No!... they will not work as well....If you've read the thread, the pr0fesseur doesn't recommend any of those bulbs.

Lol, not 5 weeks in advanced growth. They are 5 weeks in age difference.Shit. My bad.
Hey do you have which bulbs you are using listed somewhere? 5 weeks difference is AMAZING! WEll done.
