Just to bump this thread back up, does anyone else have any experience with this particular strain. I plan to order walker sours along with either oregon lemons or lemon amnesia. Both of which sound too good to choose from.

After i wrote that post, i actually got to thinking about just that. I was trying to imagine trying to re-place branches as they grow. Im sure tying them to a screen behind it,make life much easier. In fact, i dont know why i never tried that with a horizontal screen. It may be a littler more...

Isnt that trellis on the wrong side of the plant . lol . that is a nice large ladie though.

Well the good news is the grow room now has a height of about 7 ft. Which is just awesome. That will help with the temp control and allow for slightly larger ladies.

Well here's my thought process. The bulb is the only thing creating heat within the grow room. Of course. So the idea is to remove that heat as quickly as possible. Ideally everyone would use a cooltube because it isolates the heat into a smaller air space. Making it easy to remove the heat...

Yea i tried to mention in my last post that there would be a 2nd intake fan. But i worded it funny i guess. . . So .. 1 10" fan above the bulb pulling air out 1 6" fan below the bulb pushing air up 1 6" fan at the side of room bringing in fresh air. Or would using both 6" fans as intakes work...

Looks like i have a lot of crap tp sell off then. Haha. Ill go ahead and get myself a 10" fan to use directly above the bulb, pulling air up and out. Ill duct this elsewhere in the house to keep ambient temps as low as possible. Then just a box fan on the ground blowing up on the bulb. Then...

Well i wanted to have plenty of room for roots, so 5 gallon hempy buckets. 100% perlite.

With all do respect man, i think your firing answers at me qithout knowing all the facts. . As for the heat, if you read one of my posts you qould see that the ambient temp is always between 60~70 depending on the time of year. . this cool air constantly being brought in the grow will help...

I guess what it comes down to is the use of co2 with the cool tube wont outperform the barebulb with intake and exhaust.. I appreciate everyones input and willingness to elaborate their experiences. Definitely gonna save me some money and time.. Ill be building in a few weeks so ill take...

Im not worried about the bulb. Ive been growing with hps since the start. Just not a 1000w yet.. Anyways, ill probably build a trellis for each individual plant and scrog them that way. Just so i can take the plant out and work on it if need be.

Yea very solid point. I've been reading other threads on the barebulb vs cooltube subject ALL DAY. And really i think i might as well go bare bulb. Ill give it a shot anyways. Ill just make the room slightly larger in length and width. Maybe 7'x7'. But whats a healthy distance to keep the girls...

Just for kicks lets make a pros and cons list of each design. Bare bulb with ventilation Pros ~more useable light ~consistent enviroment conditions due to fresh air coming in and out. Cons ~plants need to be further from bulb to reduce,chance of heat stress. ~the use of co2 becomes obselite...

I can see how what your telling me would work.. Its just hard seeing the extra lumens of a barebulb and no co2, outperforming a co2 enroched room. Ive used many different reflectors, one of which being a cooltube. I got my largest harvest while using a cooltube. Granite the yeild was still...

Im not sure i understand. How would a barebulb with the fan over top remove more heat than a cooltube? The room is in the basement where the ambient temp is always between 60~70... Even if the temp reached 85, the use of co2 would only make the ladies flourish more. The humidity might be an...

Not to thread jack but could you elaborate on your room ? 7x7x8 seems huge for a single 600 vert. Also how long do you veg those plants for ? I only ask because im building a vert room for a single 1000w in a couple weeks

Thanks for the tips ... As for the idea of losing the cooltube, my room is only going to be around 125~160 cubic ft total. And it will be sealed since im using co2. Running 1000w barebulb with no AC in a room that small, and no exhaust, might get a little too hot. So for now i think the cool...

I tried posting this in the vertical section but since this is a room design question it probably belongs here. Anyways, ~1000w hps for flower. ~4.5' ft max ceiling height ( hence the need for vertical ) ~air cooled cooltube for bulb. ~strains are indica dominant and will be grown in 100%...

So as the title says ill be using a single 1000w hps for the flower room. My question is kind of complicated, or detailed rather. Anyways i want to know whats the best foot print size for a vert room using a 1000w. Heres some things you need to know. ~ the flower room ceiling maxes out At...

I never cut leaves. Ill cut off budsites that i know wont produce anything, but i always keep the all the leafs. Theres no reason to cut them.
