Okay so I've been out of town for a week and came home to a 600w light system. After severely altering my closets light support system I now have this going on!
It's god damn bright inside! And good news the temps are about the same as before! I think it's mostly due to the great hood from virtualsun and I've my fan hooked directly to it, and also the ballast is outside of the closet space.
But in the week I was was away these girls done had a gargantuan growth spurt!
This was still under the 150wHPS and 85wCFL so you can see the plant directly underneath (also the biggest plant of the bunch) benefitted the most from it.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I am terrified of how over grown this closet is going to get! These girls had a 70day veg cycle, which is the longest I've ever vegged. I just hope that they do t get too much taller, this is a stretchy breed (strawberry haze) and while I do have some room to move up my light, now that I've raised my support backers to the top of the closet, it's only about another foot /foot and a half. Looks like I will be suffering g from the stinkbud too much weed syndrome...
All the clones took root and seem to have had a ever so slight pH problem whilst I was away but they're looking good. I'm thinking of switching from the 85wCFL to (any really) LED system. Since it's just for veg I'm pretty sure I can get whatever's cheapest. I just want to make sure it spreads light evenly so I can not have plants of varying sizes next grow around.
Anyone know a good/cheap LED?
