I feel underlit! I will be putting out 800 w when my other Cooltube arrives in a 40" X 40" tent...should be more than ample with footprints large enough for a 4X4 tent...so your question...I KNOW it was tongue in cheek....no...I think 2 600s should be more than ample lighting for a 4X4 tent IMHO :cheesygrinsmiley:

im prolly a litttle overkill here im at 10,625 lumens per sqft and 2500 is whats recommended another one i read was that you should have about 50watts hid light per sq ft im at a little over 90watts per sq ft, so perhaps a tad overkill but i also read that you cant really have to much light, unless you just put way to many lights to the point where the tops get bleached white , i dont think i will have that problem,like if i put 4 1k lights in a 4x4 lol, im just expecting things will be well lit, i figure im just running it at double what is recommended they say a 600watt hps is good for up to 5x5 so i should be good with 2 600s running at 726watts in a 4x4 space, it seems my inline fan is doing a good job ulling off the heat so far i have not gone over75f degrees so im hoping all will be good i do have an ac unit i can vent in there if it comes to it fingers crossed, we shall see:high-five:

oh yeah i was being a smart ass! its like the light of god in there!! i dont think light is going to be my biggest limiting factor lol more like co2 or big enough pots, im contemplating a co2 enrichment plan of some sort
 
Re: BID 5.1 Digital Dual JDL 600s - 4x4 - Blue Planet Nutrients - Organic Coco Perpet

Just looking forward to the results of both tents, yours and mine...got the light in, since I have a dimmable ballast on the MH, I started at the lowest setting...also added a large fan at the opposite end of the grow room. :cheesygrinsmiley:time to turn it up after checking temps inside the tent.
:tokin:

welcome aboard the bid ship cannapop! lol i"ll try to make it worth your while :thumb:

ok guys so i was building up some coco yesterday and i went looking for some info on coco and using organics i never really found what i was looking for and i also came to the realization that we dont have a consolidated ,desiginated coco section here on the forums, not that i was able to find anyway so i started a new thread dedicated to all things coco link in my siggy, im hoping for it to bedcome the goto thread for ppl seeking out info on coco and ways to use it but if its gonna be the resourse im hoping,im gonna need you other coco growers to help add info and expierences,tips,tricks data etc. so feel free to post,add info,ask questions and so forth, perhaps it can become a sticky or even a sub forum anyway i just thought i would share that i also posted my latest recipe i'll be testing out.
also last night i put a few more plants into the new flower room 3 blue dream clones,and a couple others i'll name later when i figure out what they were lol it was late and i was tired pretty much all the tallest ones from veg ,i also noticed the big blue dream and skunk#11 were looking a little light fried looks like i may have to pull them earlier than i planned they got pretty dried out and crispy on the edges pretty rough actually i really need a new fan in there ok thats it for now more details & pics later:high-five::thumb:

For watering? I have 1/2 " pvc in two lengths for different applications, with a clear hose 12" long that comes on and off my pink plastic watering can. Everything I do is measured, I fill the can with the proper amount, put the wand in the pot, tilt the can and voila! I can water 4 feet away, without hurting any innocent bystanders....from a chair.

Ok bro, I comprende now, at the dollar store they have low plant stands with casters on em, They were cheap as I remember, and a seasonal item that should be there now. Bid, I'm very interested in creating systems for persons with physical challenges that could prevent or limit their ability to produce their own medicine. I have tons of experience with construction and design in both residential and commercial applications. I am a cabinetmaker also and have experience with alot of heavy duty hardware available. I'll lend my experience in any way I can bro.

Ima gonna see how many I have bid, i am resigned to the fact of movin em in and out for the exact same reasons you previously mentioned, I must cultivate the tops of the soil, and apply my supplements the same way. I only rotate when I water/feed.
 
Re: BID 5.1 Digital Dual JDL 600s - 4x4 - Blue Planet Nutrients - Organic Coco Perpet

im thinking ill keep the bigger closer to the end plants in the back ,when i set it up i was not thinking about access the tent seemed so big and all i didnt think about all the gear that would be hanging, i get a lil we todd did sometimes,lol the tent has side zip open windows for access but as i have it setup right up against the veg tent i cant use them, doh! the other is blocked off by my nute shelves, , im planning doing some top dressings with blood & bone meal azomite and such this round to see the difference from feeding via all teas like i usually do i seem to be running into N def all the time, and with the organics it seems like the buds are smaller ,higher quality and flavor, but less weight im thinking it may be due to less readily avalible nutes and the smallish pots im using may not be letting the organics fully express their potential,i may decide to run a few with the bpn 3 part system to see if thats whats going on,it just seems i was getting much bigger buds before with regular nutes, i may have to retool my methods with organics to get them up there again

Keep at it bro, once your close to being dialed in your going to kill it in that bigger tent. Im thinking of getting a cheapo tent to use as a drying room, something big enough to hang my drying racks and a fan?

why a tent? cheaper would be black plastic and a staple gun. :winkyface:
If all your other plants are in tents, why not just dry in the room outside the tents?
I'm just drying in my basement outside the flowering room. It's dark unless I'm down there. :)

Hey BID, nice! I noticed you have a Sour Diesel going. I am gonna say that the three I have going (two in the tent and one outside) seem to be BUD factories:cheesygrinsmiley: Was thinking about taking them out for some pictures in the next day or so when lights come on. BTW the Cool Tubes are doing a great job of keeping temps down in the tent. When I saw you using them I knew I had to try them my friend...:cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Re: BID 5.1 Digital Dual JDL 600s - 4x4 - Blue Planet Nutrients - Organic Coco Perpet

be cool to see them,im excited to try sour diesel #2 being its a chemdog decendant and as much as i love chemdog and that pine cleaner smell ,:thumb:
yeah i loke the cool tube real well i like how you can use them in a vertical stadium style grow ,and how fast air move thru them :high-five:
 
Re: BID 5.1 Digital Dual JDL 600s - 4x4 - Blue Planet Nutrients - Organic Coco Perpet

Right now the SD look like cotton balls and where I took off shade leaves they look like crystal covered little buds. I pruned it too much before I realized I should basically let them do their thing. I did LST and Supercrop the heck out of them also:cheesygrinsmiley:I've noticed a speed up in the bud development since I added the MH fixture...basically what you have in your tent, but smaller watts:cheesygrinsmiley:
