I feel like your rate of growth would increase if you raised the temp about 5-6 degrees for both lights on and lights off. But still great run bud.

Can't take too much credit for the manicuring. On this scale, we use a Twister T4 for the final trim, and I have to say, it does a fantastic job! Just clean up the tumbler and bed knife ever now and then with some 91% rubbing alcohol and it will serve you good!

Yes ... it does do a great job. Isopropyl alcohol is fantastic for getting all that "goo" out of pipes and grinders - and Twisters.

Curious - what do you guys do with all that shake?

We sell the trim to processors for wax, shatter, concentrates, etc,.. then we collect the keif from the micron filter and sell it to Dispensaries.

By luck, we were able to get the new model T4. It has an adjustable vacuum on the bed knife so you can either increase or decrease the "pull" on the buds inside the tumbler to the bed knife for a more custom finish.

The Herms.. yeah, that sucked, but at least I caught it early on and destroyed them.

This is the exact reason why I will only flower out strains I've ran before when doing a big run. Well done though. Looks great.

I have a T4. Watch out for that little plastic rib opposite the bed knife. It can come loose while running and go into the bed knife between the drum. Bent my drum and chipped the bed knife. Fortunately the warranty still applied and they sent a new knife and drum for only the shipping cost.

You know, with the QBs you can let your temps get low 80s. Might save yourselves a little extra on cooling? Just my two cents.

how did you like the hlg over all?

DoubleAtotheRON said:

Yes... all HLG 550 V2's (18 of them). Ummm... I did start a thread a few months ago... there are some progressive pics in there I believe here....

@Renfro.. I looked this thing over and I can't find what you're talking about, can you identify? This is a newer model with variable speed blades.

They are awesome!!. very sleek, efficient, and powerful!.. Rated at 1000 watts, but true wall draw is 485 watts, and 4.6 amps. I wired the ceiling for 220v so the amp draw was cut in half to 2.3 amps. There is a potentiometer on the MeanWell drivers so you can turn it down 50% for seedlings, or young plants. 10/10 for me!

Its a little plastic rib thats stuck on the sheet metal edge just across from the bed knife, it covers the edge of the sheet metal piece that goes under the spinning blade. The machine seems to work fine without it but mine came loose and messed things up real good.

So would I need to remove the blade to see it? Or can you see it in the pics above?

I marked it in the photo. It just slides on there (and slides off lol)

I checked that... it's a solid piece of aluminum now, no plastic cover, but thanks for the heads up!...you must not have been the only one since it looked like they modified it.

Nice, I'm glad they fixed that issue.

Does your motor look like this?

No, mine is the older T4 with one speed.
