Either that or tie them down. I would compare 3 of the same strains doing a top, non top, and a tie down. That way you can compare how an untopped plant with no growth stunting or stress from topping to a tied and trained plant with no stress or stunting and apply that to the topped comparison.
All I can say now is, you told me so.
LOL, well I can't say that. My brothers setup just uses one fan. But he doesn't have a 1000watter though. He just has a 600watt hps. And his ballest is seperate from his light. Those ballasts put off some heat as well. His is about 10 years old and you couldn't touch it after it was on for 10 hours. He puts a fan directly on it to help cool it and keeps it out side his flower room. But the ballast I have is magnetic and It stays just alittle warm. How hot does your ballast get after it's been on for awhile?
Thanks man. The hard part is over now. How are your temps holding up? Mine have been fine so far. Which makes me feel better. I had a good time going back and reading all the posts that said it couldn't be done. At least you can use your room for something else other then growing. You might have raised your property value up!i know what your going through bra
it pays off at the end, way go thinking out the box
Yeah, i've tied down plants before. I think I might try that with some off the ones that are going in next week. So of the ones that are in there are topped and not topped. The topped ones seem to be getting more weight then the non topped ones.
i have installed a dedicated AC unit for the room,
It's interesting about the heat that is given off by the light I have. The case is made of some type of hard composite that doesn't really conduct heat very well. The glass is really the only thing that gets hot, but even then you can touch with the back of you hand for a few seconds with the fan on. The ballast I know gets super hot but because its in the case it's hard to judge.
Nice. I was able to tap into the main house hvac. I just have to keep the house alittle cooler then usual. Can't wait to get my electric bill.i have installed a dedicated AC unit for the room,
its currently holding 74 with no issues so far
Sounds good man. LOL, just like everything, it's all trial and error. And I've had my fair share. It doesnt matter how well you plan sometimes.
I know your post is 4 years old, but thanks man. Let me see if I can find some pics. I had shit dialed in tight after 1 year.
Just came across this, looks phenomenal don't think I'd change a thing lol.
