First off. Willy man, congratulations on the new baby girl. Best wishes for her and Mama and hope they're well. Mine is on her way to 17 and University's just around the corner. Oy vey.

Jig, that pic of you and that Dog rocks! That closet doesn't do them justice size wise. Screw golf balls. We grow em hardball style!

Is it a bad idea to turn off the 600w when I'm in the grow room? I feel the UV rays are too strong. Am I just being paranoid? lol
I'd say a tad paranoid but who am I to say. Nonetheless, if ever turning off your lamp you should always allow time for the bulb to cool before firing it back up again.

Good morning everyone. Just finished up watering the girls and they reek of goodness. I was really hoping to harvest my Heri X Extrema but she's taking her sweet time. Still lots of clear at day 60 12/12 but swelling and fading beautifully. Sure is an exercise in patience some times.

Good day all. :peace:

there you go, less is better indecline!!!
ahh cheers guys, missed that post. ill give them a week without and then start them on half strength, Ill just keep an eye out for yellowing. they are great seedlings, all growing strong. cant believe none of them died after i dropped all 22 pots. most of them were out of the soil, for 2 days old they had a nice 4 or 5 inch root going on all of them. didnt seem to bother them at all. I just hope i didnt scoop up any nasty bugs from the floor as i scooped them all up from the hallway. I little cat hair wont do them any harm.

wow... that must have been a scary experience. Much like every time my wife's family comes over. "Why is this room always locked? and why does it sound like a jet plane is taking off in there?" I just tell them that's my smoke room, and the jet plane sounds, are the extra HEPA Filters and fans I keep going so the wifey doesnt get sick from the cigerette smoke. But damn, I have had some close ones.
I am SO parranoid at the moment. maybe im smoking too much lol.
our flat has 5 rooms. (2 bed, one bath, a kitchen and a living room) and one bedroom now has 3 tents in it (2 600s and a 400) its packed in that room. I have two flower tents kitted up so there is very little smell or noise. I have a that plastic panda sheeting up behind the curtain so not much light leeking out either. But ever since my landlord wanted to come round the other week it just set me off. every time the door bell goes I shit bricks. I cant hide anything now so i have to just relax and stay calm if im busted by him, maybe i can buy him off if he catches me. im sure he wont catch me but its still makes me jumpy.
only need to go another 6 months and then i quit for 9 months because im moving to spain (well my misses has to go study as part of her uni so im going too, along with my two cats)

anyway im off on one again so ill be off. have a great day guys im off to get better at battlefield 3 (turns out that being a bad ass on cod does not mean your going to be good at battlefield lol. need some practice.

stay safe guys.

I've had similar issues mang. I live in an apartment and they have quarterly inspections.. the maintenance guy who came in the summer saw all my equipment but no plants were in there yet. (He had to see the closet he said, and just walked right into my room while I was sleeping). When I eventually tracked him down and asked him if he told anyone he said no, whatever I do in there is my own business...I offered him some cash, which he refused, reiterating that it was my own business whatever I did. Which is very cool, but now my closet is stuffed full of plants, not just sketchy looking equipment, and some plants are in full bloom... And there's no telling if it will be the same guy..

Anyway, so I've got some extreme paranoia goin too. Tryin to finish this harvest up and then move the mothers to an off site location for xmas...

maybe if you tell the them that room is a dark room. You do photography on the side...Maybe they'll respect that??? Just throwing ideas out there. lol. Good luck regardless.

I wouldn't normally do this but I ventured out into the world that is RIU.....oh my, why is it everytime you post on a NEW thread do you end up in an argument. So this poster is trying to grow a Male and has posted 7 seeds and got 7 females and was asking about seeds and creating males from seeds (imo) So I aksed about his seeds stock and reminded him it's a number game. Meanwhile, everyone else starts going on about feminized seeds, so I chime in, Read the Post guys, it is not 100% clear, the guy doesn't want Fem.s So this guy then calls me a Dick, lol. I then apologise for my tone but stick by my point, then the OP comes in and from what I see, confirms the fact that he has seed stock, but just can't get any of them to go male when he plants.....

Anyway, not being one to want to fall out with someone, I made my peace with the poster who called me a Dick and all was well. This moring I go to the thread and some dude is liking all the posts of the guy bashing me...I mean wtf, what gives people, are there really that many peoples who are that sad they feel the need to try and stick the boot in when someone is down (not that I was down, the other guy was the one eating the hat sandwich, lol).

It really amazes me that people can pick up a joint and feel they are good people, chilled, peacefull and all that, then quiclkly go around creating BAD VIBES........not nice. Is it really that hard to be nice to our fellow humans. We all make mistakes, and people who realise these mistake turn out to be better people....some just go on blindly swinging their machetes of hate around to guide them through the brush!....

ok, rant over.

That is why I never leave the comfort of the ole' 6 double 0. I left RIU completley for a year or so, and then found this group of like minded growers with DST at the helm. I know it hasnt all been cookies and cake %100 of the time, but its the only thread I post in......or read for that matter.

As for my grow, im changing eveything around again. I changed the setup a long time ago and said I would update with pics and vids and never did. I wasnt comfortable about the numbers i was running back then, and now I have my numbers under control. So I will be staying vertical, but using a bare bulb on a horizontal mover. Now here comes the stunner, it wont be a 600. I know a few of our fellow sixers use 1000s, and I hope I wont be stoned (like the bad kind....involving stones) for posting here. Im using hydroton in 3" pots, ebb n flow in the veg, and rdwc in 4" irrigation pipes. I hope to pull 1 pound every month, with this perpetual setup. I want to keep you guys in suspense of how the room will look, so the few of you that know how its going to look....shhhhhhhhh.

Keep up the good work 6hundo.

As far as I'm concerned this is the only thread worth a shit on RIU, I have been attacked numerous times on other threads as well as ones I started myself. Usually some guy with 13 total posts who signed up that day and thinks he "knows all" because he read Ed R's book. I have never had anything but positive posts here in the 600. Hard to keep up with at times but always an adventure into other peoples worlds.

Thanks to all who make this place Rock!!!!

I havent been on the 600 for a few days...way behind now...gotta lot of reading to do.


I wonder if I can get away with a 600 and a 1000 in my 4x4 tent?
I only have one 600 right now and I need more light....what to add? I have a hood, but need another ballast and bulb, and am on a budget. The local hydro store sells magnetic ballasts for $99 400 600 or 1000 watt and are mh/hps .
Any advice would be great guys!!!! Gotta buy today. Repotting the clones and one light doesnt do it anymore

Basically you pay a monthly charge on what you have run the year before. Then at the end of their year they read your meter and send and end of year bill to you. If you have used more electricity then they ask you for the difference and bump your following years premium up, and same again, it get reconciled at the end of the following year. No bonuses for shit, they are just giving me money back I have already given them ,lol.....
@ DST, the electric/energy companies reward you for using under a certain amount of watts p/hr?
