You guys familiar with Gavitas? Wondering if it's worth it to shell out the upfront cash? Will it be too hot/too bright/too heavy for my 8'x4'x80" tent?

I have seen a lot of good things and bad things i think for a tent they are no good as they need to be really high above your plants so you need a room set up not a tent to get the height they use around 1100 watts at the wall

Check this guy out his living my dream his set up is so sexy his been around a long time his using all Gavitas

I love his vids lmao.

Thanks for the info! I'll stick with my bulbs then, saves me some cash anyway.
Yeah spend it on something else like better shades better globes better line of nutrients there is lots of stuff to waste your money on :)
Awesome trim job! How long did that take?

What kind of bulb are you running in the wings?
Thanks mo the bulk tops took me around 4 hours + then a couple of days later I did all the lower stuff couple more hours my trimming is getting faster but my brother is the king of trim but his got years on me so that's why his so good

I'll be starting off with a 600 and flowering with a 1000 maybe flowering with a 600 if I end up getting the new digital ballast soon


My plan is to get a 8x4 tent again and run two 600watt 400v digital ballast and move the four perlite girls in and run the other coco girls aswell but I need to pull my finger out and get the coco girls in the tent and under a better light as there only under a t5 at the moment and in little pots

Hey all just been trimming the blue dream :) damn i love that strain was only ran under a 400 Watt HPS for the last 4 weeks of it life before that it was under a 250 watt so not huge nuts but still very nice frosty buds

Hey brothers

Things are going well i pulled my finger out and got the Coco tent up and going just been very busy it's around a 70/30 COCO/PERLITE mix as you can see i have the pots on the bottom of the tent i will be boosting it up later and putting it in another pot so i can get a good run off ill post photos of that at a later date!

This tent ill be vegging with a HPS 600 as i really believe hps is better at veg then HPS but the other veg is under a 600 Metal halide so time will tell anyway thanks for dropping in :) lets get this show on the road COCO/Perlite grow off is on

They are blue dreams my brother seedlings still to small they are not doing much under the 36 Watt light they are under i might put them at the bottom of the tent to try give them a kick start so everything going at the moment is perlite and coco is all blue dream so there is going to be some super frosty covered buds in the future

I can't wait for my tax return to come thru.
I found what looks to be a decent 1.5x1.5 tent. Will also get a 600 digital for the new tent. Actually everything will be new. Definitely gonna get some blue dream for the next run. Hopefully at the end of this week I'll be able to start ordering things.
Thanks for sharing the pics DirtyNerd. I love seeing setups from the start, best way to get ideas.

Yeah man,

A lot of bullshit keeps coming up lol. One minute I'm good to go and the next they go "Oh well, they should fix this." And I agree but like damn man lol. The most recent bullshit is "Sorry, our house won't be ready until Auguast 5th-ish, is it okay if we stay in the house until then?"

I don't want to be a dick and say no I want to grow drugs but I also don't want to wait forever lol. Trying to be as nice as possible so I can get in their with good vibes and hopefully not get a knock on my door at 2 am and a battering ram lol. Karma will get you for putting a family on the street for a few days. I'm hoping first week of August I'll be in there.

Then I have a decision lol, run the 10 grand heft autos in my RDWC to learn the system or run them in soil and fuck with my photos lol. Ehh, I'll figure it out.

grow some fems bro first don't waste the autos on the DWC the fems should do just fine that way you don't have to worry about sexing first round and you can learn by actually growing something really worth while. Don't trip bro you be in ther in no time and you right karma has a funny way of working so I feel you and plus you will be blessed by doing that

Yeah lol, in the real estate business we call it having happy walls.

I'll do the fems and save the soil for the autos. Autos are just for personal stash anyway and just to be able to say I've run them. Good advice, as always lmao. :-)

Yeah i 2nd going with Fem seeds for your first run but no matter what strain your running still keep a close on for hermi i have had one full blown hermi from a fem seed and one that got lots of nannas at the last few weeks of it's life also make sure you take cuttings from all and label them right as some strains look like there not going to do much then the last 3 weeks of flower they are a whole new plant what strains are you thinking of running... ? what size tent or are you just setting up a room.. ?
