My how the roots have grown
Barely touching the water line
The smaller root mass is from the smaller plant

Twice bitten (or thrice?) Falls like that would put me off these hooks (and the company that makes them) New version of the same hooks....? hmmmm might be time to look at alternatives my fluffy green friend...Dodged another bullet. Another tent light hanging hook broke (only holding < 25 pounds with 80-82* day time temps). Thankfully, plants survived with little damage, but they must be shaken up by 2 similar crashes within 5 days. I won't be surprised if it takes a couple days to recover
I called: they are shipping a new version of the same hooks. In the mean time I am using 1/4" half circle metal hooks (can't think of what they are called)- the tent would fall first
Especially at the fault of a <$2 piece of metal.Would be a shame to destroy all that growth...

Hooks are only as good as the skeleton they hang from...weak skeleton then the skeleton will coming crashing down with hooks no matter how strong the hooks are......weak hooks then hooks will fail.It's a Gorilla tent, so buyers beware
Imagine if you had a 4-8 bulb HOT5 hanging from it when it crashes- destroy your plants, be a freaken nightmare to clean up + super toxic mercury vapor concentrated in the area you need to clean ASAP
I replaced their POS hooks with metal hooks that are used to hang heavy stuff
I feel you.PetFlora,
What about those of us who can't fit the 4 ft T-8's in the tent? I was originally planning on putting in a 6 lamp 2ft T-5. When it comes to the LED bulbs you are buying, how do you know which ones are for vegging and which ones are for flowering. Most of the nomenclature you used went in one ear and out the other, so the explanation could have been there, but I didn't see it.

Sorry for my ignorance, Petflora, I will assume T-8 are in my future. when you say get one NW to promote veg + 3 ww to promote flowering???? I looked online and I still couldn't pin down your meaning. Is their a particular wattage. NW alone came out with natural white and neutral white, I'm sorry, but I just am hours old when it comes to led's acronyms won't work for me. Yes I am a retired combat medic and that ugly fuck is really me.
Is this the NW you speak of? Does the wattage matter? or kelvin range?
Those agro led's, can they be used in any T-8 fixture is do they use their own proprietary one?
Nevermind, figured it out, Natural white for you 6000k plus and Warm White for your 3000k plus.
In the tube I linked up above, I found this little side note:
Note
Ballast/starter of existing fixtures must be bypassed.
Tombstones must be of the non-shunted type.
Power is to be applied to one end of the tube only (labeled), 1 pin to Live/Hot and the other pin to Neutral; pins on the other end of the tube are for physically securing the tube only
I also found this six bulb fixture, it was only 3 bucks more expensive than the four.
I tried finding something at Amazon because of the free shipping I'm already getting, but all they had were these, will they do???
I haven't even started on the Warm Whites yet. Are there particular wattages that are preferred?
Thanks
Namaste
Jeff
