Comes in an 8" if ur worried about heat w/ higher wattage, I got 600w in mine works amazing, I wouldn't be afraid to drop a 1k in there w/ my 440cfm fan on it.

Ya man I did get a dimmable ballast it's nix right now in using it in a veg closet dimmed to 600
Mine goes 60% 70% 100%
I know there is better ones that go like 50% 75% 110%
There kinda expensive but worth it I payed like 260 out the door but probley saved that like the first toe months being able to veg at 600 instead of a 1000 raised super high.

just read a thred on monstercropping. have u ever tried it?? im thinking of giving it a try,,it seems like it would be less work than topping and bending, just a longer rooting and veg time with same or bigger results...

Thanks man!
Iv heard about it, it's like making ur clones re veg right?

kind of, u take a cutting off a plant thats already 3 weeks into flower, it takes longer to root than regular clones but once its rooted you veg it for 2-3 weeks and end up having a plant that looks like a super bush.. they said a 3 week vegged monster croped plant looks like a reg clone thats been topped, and trained thats had 5 or 6 weeks of veg!! Took some clones last night off a plant that was 4 weeks into bloom,,cant wait to see how she goes..

one guy said after 2 weeks in veg, his monstercropped plant had so many branches he had to cut branches off.. and thats w/out topping or training of any kind..he said he ended up with an 18 cola plant.. but no pics to prove it?

Haha ya man got to hate that when they don't have pics but sounds super legit please let me know how it goes for you.
You should be flipping those to flower by the time these are done right? 7ish weeks?

not sure, put them in cloner a couple days ago now, i figure about 3 weeks to root and 3-4 weeks of veg, and thats IF they root..i guess flowering clones only have a 50-60% rate of rooting,,,so ive got my fingers crossed!!

Iwouldnt advise the practice of reverting back to veg and then flipping them again. It is a great way to get some nice big beautiful bushy herms. Yipee!!

Only if you have weak genetics..... I have never had a problem re-vegging any of my regular strains....

I have. Sadly, I had to let several go because they just never regained their vigor.

Ummm..a plant isn't just some machine that you change the inputs too and it does what you want. It an annual plant and once it goes to flower...that is mostly that.
Believe me if there was a way that you could make annuals behave like perennials and take cuttings from flowwring plants nurseries would be all over it.
Sure..it can be done but does it result in the highest yields and quality? No its essentially like reveggin a harvested plant and trying to make it bud again. Sure it works but it is largely the work of inexperienced retards.
But I digress, maybe I just have weak genetics. Genetics that people keep asking me for cutting of (which I generally always replly..sorry).

So they got a little too big there on day 15 of flower and iv got the lights zip tied to the poles for maximum hieght ha, just seems like the sativa pheno (one onThe right) just might keep going a little more.
