matters how you ventilate. but even a nicely ventilated bulb, I would keep 1-2 foot from the plant.
If you have an unsealed unvented hood...better make it 2-3
If you were to say...regenerate some plants after you trim most of the flowers off..
and then transplant said flowering plant into Fox Farm Ocean Forest and let sit under 100W HPS for two weeks. You will have one big ass bushy mama cita....That I know as a fact.
Good stuff, has done wonders for...
Attics can get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Not always the best place...and it can make a hot spot on the roof...and heat detecting cameras can see it. Not that this will happen, but it can and it has.
ALSO...sounds like a fire hazard, you will be keeping this 400w HPS pretty close...
dude, your wiring is impressive, very clean job. I have a real question for you that I think is indicative of many homes around the country. I have an older home with a 100 amp newer electrical system with 220v access in the basement that a dryer will be running off of. I don't like splicing...
These people aren't lying. What you're talking about is a commercial opperation. If you havn't grown anything HALF that size...you aren't ready...
I don't want to be a buzz kill....but with a reciprocating grow system that keeps fresh clones coming in while you are flowering....(4) 1000k HPS/MH...
I had a similar problem with a strain I grew. I used fox farm ferts and pretty much stuck to there schedule. I thought it was the municipal water source so I switched to reverse osmosis water and do see a little difference. I noticed something that seemed like a calcium buildup in the fan leaves...
If the bottom leaves started going yellow first...I would say nitrogen deficiency. I would say your a noob so go with fish emulsion so you don't burn...should fix everything...
IF IN DOUBT...do what the native Americans did...
With the new meter they drive by with their truck and get your meter reading..they don't have to come any where near your house.
NOW if black copters start crossing your house...4K watts will display a small "blip" in infa-red
best time to start high wattage drain is in summer...power...
Your parents have a good reason why they don't want you to fuck with "blah" weather you get it or not and you should probably not take "blah" too seriously because your parents will pay for your college and offer you a good life outside of the orbit that "blah" rolls in....
I'm a toker telling...
