Thank you, it was hard to lose one to herm (I do not have space to grow it out separate)
I have the HPS about 12 inches from the top with the temp around 83. Going after a 600 watt dimmable so that I can reduce lighting towards the end of the flowering stage (though that is probably a bad idea). Heat is an issue that when I get the 600, it will be with a cool tube and a good inline fan to take all the heat that baby will push out :)
thanks nick88!!
Sounds good, the hps height is fine as long as your temps don't go any higher. But the 600 with cool tube should really get those ladies to jumping. I wouldn't dim the light at all, blast them all the way thru then 72 hrs before you chop throw them in the dark.
Good luck

Lol thanks are the lower k bulbs better for flowering or should i just use the 6500's throughout and my heat stays around 80. I do notice the ona block is very strong for its small size. Not sure how good it will be if these babies are female.

Im about to order 2 85w cfl's in the 6500k spectrum or should i go 10k since the lack from the 2 2700(or whatever they were).

I would stay with the 6500k. And in flower I run a mix of 6500k and ????? cant remember if its 2700 or what exactly.. 60%2700---40% 6500k
