Youve done a hell of a job here man. Very impressive. I ran a search for the 1000w ballast that you have cause i just got 2 of the same ones and had some ?s if you dont mind another 1st timer gettin some help. I Have a 3x6.5' flood and drain scrog setup and only have just over 3' between the screen and my lights. I was wondering how close you got your buds to the light at the end of flower and if you used the super lumen feature or not.
also my lights are in a hydrogro cooled reflector so i think it should be a good comparison. And how do you feel about your light so far. Did you end up using anything with the gh nutes thats what im using also and it seemed to yield very well for you. Ill be satisfied if i do that well with two lights on my first grow. I expect the worst. heres 2 pics of my setup. Not to hijack but maybe you can get an idea if this looks like enough room to go up or not. Judging by how your plants responded to that bad ass ballast it could be close. Thanks alot :-P

Thanks alot for these awesome read brotha! I wanted to drop some q's that I couldn't find any definitive answers to...
My basic grow equipment: Rainforest 66 (6-6" pots), 400w HPS


  1. What is the optimal nutrition schedule for my grow for my vegetative and flower stages? Should I follow the GHE (General Hydroponics) or Lucas Formula, any others?
  2. If I use a different nutritional schedule besides the included GHE instructions is it still possible to use the other additives I have in my stock. These include: Diamond Nectar, Growth/Bloom Excellerator by Advanced Hydroponics (I picked this up to substitute GHE's Bio Bloom) ?
  3. Does the vortex (aerosprayer) need to remain on 24/7 or is there a better schedule such as: 2hr on, 1 hr off ?
  4. I also bought an air pump 300liter/hr . For how long should I have this pump on?

Thanks in advance!

Wow. Over 9 years since this grow!

I remember being paranoid everytime someone would knock on the door back in the day.

Hope all you guys are doing well :bigjoint:
