I think what you're trying to say is "I put a bag full of dicks in my mouth to pay my HID-hijacked utility bill." ;0

The 600 + AC hurt that month, the ac more so than the light lmao. Bag o dick worthy for sure.

Since the light swap and tall tent addition it's not too bad. It's using less juice than 2 vipars and if it gets hot I just raise the light for a few hours. It's nice kicking the ac on when I'm hot, not when the plants are about to smoke themselves.

Mother nature is on crack this summer...

They veg'd out under a weaker 240w BlackStar LED. Had I veg'd them under this, they'd be even further along than they were at flip. Tomorrow's the 8-week mark. Much of my calyces have nearly retracted their pistils and turned orange, but I'm still waiting on a few long, white hairs, regarding the Heavyweight Fruit Punch.

The Big Buddha Blue Cheese has some calyces swelling as well. It's probably got a week more, maybe a week and a half max before all calyces have swelled shut.

Of course, all of this means dick if I don't have my jeweler's loupe to check the trichomes. Fucking mail man better hurry up.

Well I just don't see it as cut and dry as I've noticed some people have a tendency to see it. Each lighting solution has its pros and cons. Processing the info and finding a viable solution best suited for me has kinda evolved over the last few weeks since I committed to this. I started off half cocked looking into the bare bones cfl super cheap set ups. Now I'm starting to feel more committed and serious about the matter.

1200 micromols in 2.5x2.5 Center PAR at 18" is pretty good PAR. Like, that's a measurement that's pretty cut and dry.
