Growlab Tent 1000w with Fox Farms

[sogrow]

Pretty good yielder. Great OG smell. Perfect medium size bud filled plant.Easy to grow.I have barely smoked any of it yet compared to the LA and Kushberry so I cant give a good smoke report but it tastes great so far and I am sure it will get even better with a good cure.

Well I am gonna take a week off and go snowboarding in Tahoe and just relax.While I am there I am going to figure out what strains I wanna do next.I have to say I am impressed with the Kushberry the most.Tastes so good,strong and lasts awhile.Really anxious to smoke the Tahoe and SFV.Just chopped those today.
So all in all.Not sure yet but have been thinking about Cataract Kush,Connie Chung,Ogiesel,Raskal OG,MK Ultra, Platinum Bubba....too many to choose from

Clones. I have access to quite a few great genetics. I should be up again within 2 weeks.

Kushberry 57 grams.
Great Great taste and pretty strong. Taste Og'ish with a berry flavor mixed in.High is also pretty long lasting.Would recommend for sure.Probably my favorite so far.

I will post pics of the Tahoe and SFV's when they are dried.

Awesome thread, good updates, great info and BEATIFUL PICS!!!

I have a Nikon D80. I have to learn how to do that!!!

Glad to here about the Kushberry. I have a Kushberry and Kushberry X Skunk. Can’t wait!

If you haven’t bought your ballast I have a 600 Galaxy. Runs cool, no noise, fires right up. I got mine about a year ago. If you get Galaxy you want the newest version. There was an issue but can’t remember what. Probably not an issue now.

Here is some info:
GALAXY 600 WATT ELEC. BALLAST
Drives lamp to peak performance.
Saves energy! Uses 5-12% less energy than magnetic H.I>D. (depending on lamp specification).
Extremely efficient - 99.9% power factor.
Soft starting - increases lamp life & reduces lumen depreciation.
Anodized, extruded aluminum housing.
Lightweight- 600W weighs 14 lbs.
Can ignite both HPS & MH lamps.
Very quiet operation.
Instructions & warranty information.
Rubber feet reduce noise and vibration

I grow in a cabinet and have no heat issues and I exhaust into the room…Summer will be a little more challenging though. Check it out link in sig.

Great job all around +++REP Scribed

I think TLD mentioned something that he would take Galaxy over Lumatek

Yeah I keep getting mixed opinions.Hmmmmm

Thanks for the comments SL2...hope yours turns out good.I'm sure you will like it.

Lumatech has had too many warranty and factory issues.....

Galaxy has thus far performed better.....

Kushberry looks pretty solid. Blueberry male and OG Kush female? D you know what breeder it was?

So would you go with a Galaxy 1000 or 600 for flowering in a 4 x 4 tent...given that I can mantain the temps

If you can maintain the right temps and have enough height I would go with the 1000 watter

The newest ballasts are dimmable. You can always turn it down on hot days. http://www.growlightexpress.com/gro...t-a-watt-dimmable-1000-watt-ballast-1062.html

Yeah that looks like a nice one.Leaning toward Galaxy for sure.

That's what I am thinking. Better penetration...more lumens...how much heat difference can there really be between the 600 vs 1000 really.My temps directly below the light at plant level max at around 79-80.Everywhere else avg is prolly more like 75-77

The Good Doctor is right about the 1000w bulb in a 4x4 tent. I just bought the exact same tent and they recommend the max at 600w, I would change it to a 600w asap because a 1000w in that tent is kinda a fire hazard. Using a 6 inch fan should work great for you, that's what size I will be using for the online & exhaust. Might want to place a small fan on floor of tent blowing up to help cool the light off. Other then that I wish you luck with you grow, can't wait to crack my kushberry seeds open.

edit: Sorry about that, I posted this last night via iPhone & did not realize the thread was 16 pages long already.

Im using a 1000w in my 4x4 tent and Im having no heat problems. Using a 620cfm 8" elicent for filter and light. (Using MH at the moment)
