It all depends on what you have to use, an HPS bulb can hang either vertical or horizontal but a MH bulb has a rating by the wattage, it will either say "BU" or "HOR" which means Base Up or Horizontal. Improper positioning of the MH bulb could result in fire. With the bulb placed horizontal...

I just finished up a full MH grow from veg through flower, true they will not be as dense as bud grown with a HPS but the end results is still phenomenal. On 24-30" ladies I still had cola's stretching 10-12" with solid bud formation, no gaps.

Not sure how I missed this condescending post. No, I never said that the spray caused the tips to burn, I said it cooked some of the leaves...cooked, as in the whole leaf or most of it turned black and crispy like it was cooked in an oven after they were covered in oil. I know what I'm talking...

Is your friend an actual licensed electrician? Because if he is then he's pretty stupid and should go back to trade school. What he's should have said is that these fixtures are "typically" mounted at 20'-30' high ceilings in an industrial/commercial application so that at that height they...

Didn't even notice that, thx. I just saw MH GE vs Philips ;)

It's a Canadian Medical Strain, I can't remember the scientific name it was given (a bunch of number and letters), these were the last seeds from my bag and turned out way better than the last grow. Now I gotta find something new to try ;)

I just finished up a grow with a 1000w Phillips MH, 4000k color rating. Worked amazing compared to the last grow I did with a 400w HPS, way more trichomes and way more red hairs this time.

Thank you, I've got em all curing now but I tried some last night and damn...not bad at all. It's a pretty heavy head high, lasts a long time, and doesn't leave you feeling dopey when you come down, it's nice.:mrgreen:

I don't remember the scientific designation they gave it, but the seeds were from the Canadian Medical Grow in Saskatchewan.

Ok, this was my second indoor grow and wanted to try using a MH for the entire grow this time. I vegged for 6 weeks and they were all 20"-28" tall by the time they finished stretching in the start of the flowering stage. They got Plant Prod 20-20-20 for the veg stage with Kelp and a kelp foliar...

I should have dry weight up tonight, they are still hanging in my drying room right now. I gotta pick up a bunch of mason jars on the way home ;)

I've used wet trim and dry trim and honestly have noticed no difference at all when it comes to the strength or taste of the butter. The only thing I don't put in are the stems and branches, all other plant material is mulched up small and boiled with the butter and water for 6 hours (refilling...

From 6 ladies, and there wasn't alot of shrinkage during the drying. They stayed pretty firm and have a nice sweet almost fruity smell to them.

I harvested on Day 56 of flowering, all trichs were cloudy with a few amber. I was very pleased with the results I got from the MH in flowering, but next time I'm gonna try a 1000w HPS just to compare apples to apples. Here's a few pics from my trim, and I should be able to post a dry weight...

So legal grows don't stink?
