Thank you stoney sir. Starting the build tomorrow, will see how this goes. Picture of what's going on in the flower room right now, and a pic of a bud on a little soil plant I have just flowering in there, was going to use it to breed, but don't have any pollen.

Ran into a problem with the buckets. Broke some.... hah was quite angry about the situation. Anyway, learned my lesson, going to have to convert to square containers for this system.

Nevermind, completely failed at this attempt hahaha. Life goes on, and I have gained some knowledge from my failure. Back to buckets. Did some aggressive defoliation or whatever the hell they call it, the light just wasn't getting in there they were beasts hah. Kush's on the right, purples on the left.

What went wrong with those other plants? Have you already started another grow? I love watching your grows, the plants always turn out amazing. It gives me something to aspire to. :leaf::leaf:

what up high life, nothing went wrong with any of my plants. I was building an undercurrent hydro setup but that completely got fucked up so I'm just growing individual 5 gal dwc buckets. I have 5 plants in flower right now, those big girls you see in the pics up there. Pretty stoked to see what this 600w can do. Thanks for the kind words sir.

Thank you sir, I'm very excited this grow through. I'm using GH trio and the GH sweetener, going to go get the floralicious plus tomorrow too. These girls are getting big! The shorter two are under 3 ft, and the taller two are just over. I hope I get a fat yield, I'm very curious as to what I will get from this 600w.

They look great. I'm curious to. :D I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 600w'er also. How's the heat compared to the 150w? How far are you keeping it away from the plants?

Thank you gentlemen. The 600w isn't that hot with the ventilation at all, I'm running both the 600w and the 150w in my closet and it's raising the ambient temperature in there maybe 3 or 4 degrees. Everything is running pretty smooth, have the light about 6 inches from the tops of the plants.

I would love to throw an LED in there too, some day when I get the money I'm going to. Stoney I need some help the girls weren't too happy and the sativas really started to stretch haha, my smaller kush's are at 29 inches and my longest purple is at 42 inches. Should I raise the light? Heat isn't an issue as the glass is fairly cool to the touch. Or maybe I was thinking of just tying that cola down towards the middle? The back far left corner. I'm blazed contemplating this hahah. Any advice friends?

Try to raise the shorter plants up even with the tallest ones. Having to tie all the tops would be a pain. If you have the head room i would give it a shot.. :D
