Covers a 4×4-5×5 area. I believe most use it in a 5×5. Single 315's cover 3×3

Haven't even thought about it because I'm typically unorganized, but I think I'll start one this week as I pull down my current flower room

Sun system has a 315w cmh that you can actually keep the ballast outside the grow room to reduce heat build up. Works really well. Never tried lollypopping actually.

My light has the ballast attached to the hood, that's probably the only thing I don't like is how its positioned, I loose 6" of space to raise my lights. I lollipopped on my last grow, but only because the Animal Cookies I grew was a 200% stretcher. This grow I may hold off because of the many strains and I want to see if there's a difference

Wedding cake is great, and same with purple punch. Quick question. The blue gelato 41, is that by Barney's farm? Been really curious how that strain turns out. Seen alot of mixed reviews about barneys

Yeah its Barneys, haven't heard anything bad about this strain, but I have heard things about certain Barney strains

I got a red dragon going in my garden by Barney's as well. Figure why not try out the freebie lol. So far it grows straight as a damn arrow, decent thickness in stock and seems hearty not only on what it handles but branches and so on as well. I mean proof will be in the pudding after mind you but as of now I'm happy with her.

Day 7 of Flower
Just flushed the plants with RO water, I'll be doing nutrients tonight. I built a trellis out of pvc and plastic clothesline and stuck it in the tent and I also had to supercrop one of the Wedding Cakes in the back middle, it was growing a lot faster than the rest.

You can take any ballast and move it outside the grow room honestly, just need a little bit of mechanical competency. Splice a length of wire between the ballast and fixture and boom.

Ive heard alot of terrible things about Blue Gelato 41 and some other Barney's stuff. Personally had success with them 8 years ago.

Subbed, very interested in how your Red Dragon turns out. I have 2 freeby red dragons from barneys I might put outdoors later this year.
