Ok, Fairly new to a 400w, and I must ask why 12-18"? Does that just have to do with light coverage? I've had my girls nearly touching the glass of the cooled hood without apparent ill effect (perhaps 6" from the bulb).

Quick shot of my girls @ week 4 flower 12/12. 5gallon home made fabric plant pots, fox farms ocean forest soil, FF organic nutes, SuperThrive and mychorizia(Donno if that's spelled right lol). All in an ~2x3 area under a 400w MH(Veg)/HPS(Flower) and a 90w mixed spectrum LED for side lighting to penetrate the lower levels. Walls and floor lined w/ mylar and two fans for agitation/upward-draft circulation. Topped and super cropped! G13 Labs Pineapple Express, Dinafem Original Amnesia, Greenhouse Seeds Kings Kush, and Greenhouse Seeds The Doctor. Ill post more quality pics as they finish over the next 4-6 weeks! Yum! :D

sup Nite,
you will hear a lot of people recommend this only because at 12 inches a 400w is pushing a little more then 10,000+ lumens which is what the sun roughly puts out, and even more important IMO, at 12 inches and less PAR is at 100% +

as long as your leaves arent bleaching you will be fine, might just have to feed a little heavier and some co2 could work to your benefit.

Been gone for a minute or two, but I'm back in the ring. I was Rollin with a 150w hps for about a year, bumped up to a 250, then now I'm at 400w.

Running a lighthouse hydro tent, measuring, 20x36x60. I run the 400 air-cooled, in a 6in hood with a 6in booster to keep the light cool.

And underneath the light, I'm running an unknown strain, that I got from my neighbor that finishes in about 60 days. If anybody knows what strain this may be, please let me know. It is very branchy, stretches very little in flower ( as in, a 10 inch clone will stretch to maybe 14 inches), but produces some killer smoke. My neighbor says it's ATF, but I wouldn't know what ATF looks like and te internet is quite vague about any information pertaining to that particular strain. Regardless, this strain is my main runner in the tent.

Okay,enough rambling,

I know crappy pics, but here are a few more

Thanks for looking. She should be ready in about 2 weeks! Happy growing

Update on my room.

Here's some shots from last week while still under the MH.

Then some from this evening under hps.

Photo plants are currently 8 days into 12/12.

Auto has been flowering for around 3-4 weeks.

Nice LST on that auto!
Which of the photo plants is the Blue Dream?
Click to expand...

MH group pic she's the back squat one. Back right.

Under the hps she's the front right. (I think, will correct if I'm wrong on Thursday)



And thanks about the LST on the auto it was more out of necessity as she started to transition to flower and began seriously outgrowing the photos who were still on 18/6.

Its worked out pretty well to be honest.

I've just had to prop everyone up on extra pots to keep up with cotton candy's stretch. She's already been supercropped once to control her vertical growth lol.

Keeping an even canopy with multiple strains is a PITA.
I frequently have to raise plants up.

Tell me about it.

You'd think I'd learn by now lol my trouble is I don't want all the same smoke.

Luckily feeding has been pretty even between them all.

Currently everyone is receiving EC 1.4 including the 3 clones.

I'm about to up my EC to 1.6 on my next feed on Thursday.

Depending upon response I may increase to 1.8 during my PK1314 usage but a good amount of that will be additional Ca and Mg in mono form with a lower amount of my base A and B.

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Just thought I'd post a couple more pics.

The hps pics are from today.

Any MH pics are a week to 2 or so old.

Thought I show the slight double seration to the blue dream leaf.

Any sign of this on your clone only BD MrEDuck?

Oops. Don't know what's going on with my pics now lol.
