I found a setup for under 300 on that same website with a digital ballast and comes with the HPS light bulb and the MH conversion bulb. Is it really worth it to go with the cooltube if you end up losing light intensity. Ambient temp in my house is only 70 and plan on hooking the inline fan to a climate controller. This way in the future i can add a CO2 tank. For now i have a kit that i do home brews with so im going to throw a higher temp brew in the tent with the plants. Kill two birds with one stone...haha. I'm going to go crazy untill i have my tent all setup and some little ladies growing. Gonna try out the CCOB method.

The thing I think the cool tube is very useful for is small space and/or getting the light closer to the plants. I have my 1000w within inches of my plants. Without that I would have to keep at least a foot because of heat. I am definitely loosing some light to the glass, but 1. I think the proximity of the light to the plants kinda cancels that out... and 2. It's about the only way things would work having a vert setup in a 2' x 3' closet. If you are planning to cover 5' x 5' with one 600, then I would think it would have to be kinda high above the plnats to get that spread, so a cooltube is probably not necessary.

3 x 3 is about the max area of coverage with a 600. I'm running two 600's in a 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 area and I don't have any plants in a 1 x 5 1/2 of it.

Coming along like a jungle corey! +rep

I've never had mites or gnats so cant offer much advice with dealing with them. It's one of the few things i hope i never need to learn about with growing.

My girls have 1 week to live...funeral arrangments have been organized. The drying caskets have been laid out. It's been a swell time ladies!

For gnats put an inch of or so of play sand from home depot(5 bucks a 50lb bag) over the top of all the soil..... and for mites use some kind of neem oil, spray every inch of the plant especially under the leaves every 3 days for two weeks... I AM SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE NOT JUST REGURGITATING WHAT I HAVE READ..... the sand trick might take a week or so to get rid of all the gnats but it WILL work.. Good luck

I'm going to be using a 5X5 grow tent....and want to veg like 10-16 at a time for now. And then be using the same tent to be flowering the 10-16 plants. After my first grow ill add another tent and alot of other goodies. So i need to buy one light that can do it all. Figured 600 would be the best choice.

i've got an almost 5 foot sq tent. i went from a 1000 to a 600. i like the 600 mostly because of the reduced heat. my yeilds the last 2 grows were 16 and 17 oz dried and in the jars so i was pretty pleased with the 600.

I really had no intentions of being a mushroom farmer. Anyone else experience this? It was in one of my White Widows pot, no signs anywhere else in the garden.

Sounds like you got a chunk (or crumbles) of un-composted "material" in your soil (i.e. "poo") .
Don't forget to pinch the tops so you won't have spores spreading out when the shrooms mature.
Looks pretty cool though! Good photo!

HOLY SHIT............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you pollinate a female to get more seeds? I think i might give that a try next run.

lol

i have bred every genetic i ever bought. except i got 10 fems from my bubble gum (FUCK) but i crossed it with a few genetics.

i have friends who only buy feminized. they make me crazy. i think of it this way; i wake up one day and want something different, i open my fridge and 3 months later i'm smiling. no brainer. the highs i've picked for this round will zonk anybody. ssh, s.a.g.e. and swiss bliss. all unique and soaring highs! 61 days and counting! MAKE IT GO FASTER!!!!!!!

Mind if one inquires as to how you successfully stored them for so long? Quite the impressive collection of beans, especially if you are the maker and from that distant time frame.

howdy. i put them into freezer storage bags, triple wrapped and left them in the crisper of the fridge. i also kept them in ball jars for a few years but the multiple freezer bags are enough. they do very well. this current crop's super silver haze is like 10 years old and i got 25 out of 25 to pop. people who don't breed this crazy expensive genetics are nuts. i just made over 1000 seeds of mantanuska tundra. lol

i have a grow at gypsy's under fatboyogof where i grew SSH, S.A.G.E., swiss bliss, stonehenge and sensi star. i crossed all of those genetics to themselves and to each other. it was a lot of work but there's gold in them thar crosses.

Is that atomic haze from Dr.Atomics lineup. I ask because that's the next breeder I'm trying. He's got 5 strains in his lineup, all based around crosses with his NL#5, and I'm looking to grab all of them in one shot.

i'm looking for something new. i'll check out dr atomic. as long as he isn't one of those guys who was begging for seeds from people at overgrow and then became "professional" seed makers. lol

I've already pulled and tossed them. I was just surprised that I didn't notice it til now, especially the larger one, but then again they do blend well. One thing I'll never guess at is shrooms. I seen a mushroom guide once and figuring out what you have is real difficult and sometimes can be like playing Russian roulette when out of 2 identical looking kinds, one can be so deadly. Maybe it's just me, idk.

So many to choose from. i have a eye horti right now but its ollllld. way old. so any suggestions for me cuz im going insane with this light bulb crap. i need it for my flower room. i have a 600w digital cap ballast and an aircooled hood (if it matters).

Yup, I know of him. Read his bio too, that's why I want to try his stuff. The guys got history in this business for sure, been all over the past 40 years or so and he lays it right out in his bio. I'm Canadian too, will be getting the line from Vancouver Seed Bank, they owe be a bit of a credit too. I ordered some The Purps of Jordan of the Islands from there but I'm not impressed with it so far out of 4 seeds I've grown.

EDIT. added link for CC magazine article. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4762.html And his site for those interested. http://www.dratomicseedbank.com/ I'd like to breed his NL with Sannies Jack.
