I'm running a 250w lo-bay, very similar to the hps fixture up there except its longer and heavier

that looks like mine does it feel like it weighs 90lbs,lol, wen tryin to hang it up.


ha ha ya its heavy as shit... i dont have it up yet cuz i cant decide what do do with it... i did mad research yesterday and came to the conclusion that my four t5's put out about 3500 lumens more than one 250 watt metalm halide... while running cheaper and much much cooler... as u can see from the prior pics that the internode growth is pretty wicked close... u can put them like 4 " away... Raider gave me a good idea which i will probably do, and that is to use the 250Mh for males in a seperate area for breeding...

as as far as how long im going to veg is gonna be different for each plant... i have four flowerinbg right now... 2 will be harvested in 3 weeks and the other 5 week... when i move the first 2 out for harvest, i will move two of the WW/purps into flower... so i get a more constant supply of grass... so some will be considerable bigger when they go into flowering... and when i get to the last 2 before they go into flower i will use the MH...

I wanted to get some feedback on when u folks like to Top and FIM... what node, how old, how much to take off, etc... i hasve heard few people tell me between the 4th and 8th nodew... if thats the case then i should do it now right??

The one in the front left that was lollypopped, was the weakest looking of the bunch... i topped it for a clone just in case its amazing or some shit... have also cloned for sex... just the one for now until my better looking plants get bigger and better and i can decide which to use as a mother... 6-8 nodes on all plants excpt the back right ones that are much younger... anyways, its a female so i am gonna bloom it for some smoke... i dont know why people kill the weaker plants... i mean why not let it flower while ur potential mothers are growing, cloning for sex, and then letting ur clones from the mother veg... thats approx 7 weeks or so... just the amount of time to flower the weaker plants, room permitted... thats why u need a clone, veg, and flower area, to keep a constant flow of the illy if im not mistaken.... happy growing!!

BTW... I have high hopes for the one in the back middle... much bigger, lush leaves so im guessing that its one of the purps... its the sideways pic in the above post
