Hydro tub scrog

[mary_juana420]

on a side note that one plant that just was reaching for the sky is my fav so far
by far the fastest growth that prolly a male little bastards lol cmon fems
the droopy one is looking much better
it has very dark green healthy looking leaves also has the most massive roots of any of them so far....

updates when somethin happens but sugestions comments anything welcome

A hps bulb from lowes will not do the job nearly as well, i do believe...drop the extra dough and get a light that is meant to grow plants if you are buying...

 

[Boss]

The deal on that light is one of the best I have seen for an enclosed light with the glass plate and built in ballast.

 

[berrydizzle]

From experience, a built in ballast makes it soo much harder to deal with heat...just throwing that out there.

 

[Boss]

I agree, and it wouldn't be my first choice. But $116.00 shipped is a very good deal, if this is an option for your grow space.

 

[shaggie-420]

you can also rig it with a adapter to make it air cooled. easy fix!

 

[mary_juana420]

what kind of adaptor should i use if i did get the 400 hps? im already fightin temps but i got em in the mid to high 70s if i open everything up...

 

[shaggie-420]

when u got to the site there should be a link to the adapters and you can get the corect one, if theres not you can always get a standard one and make the cuts needed to modify the housing

 

[berrydizzle]

Remote balast and air cooled cylinder sounds best to me!!

 

[Boss]

Ya man, I been looking too. only a 100 bucks more, 200 if you get electronic ballast, and I just can't spend it now. Maybe after the move I will run a few grows with the cfl's and LEDS and save up for the real deal.

 

[berrydizzle]

For sure man, HPS is definately the best thing for flowering...i dont have an electronic ballast, so mine is loud, lots of buzzing. Ventilation is a must for any grow op!

 

[mary_juana420]

things are goin good 4 now ive got the lights just about as low as they can go and am keeping the temps in the mid 70s
the middle plant has explosive growth
the sensi one bloom and new water did the trick
i am foliar feeding with sensi and distiled water as well but at a low dose
i dont know if it is a fem or not its growing little leaves in the nodes im gonna post some pics asap ... stressin bout sex lol

 

[Boss]

Yep, I did that too. You start to worry.. "did I waste all that time?" hehe, it will turn out well. Just give then enough N and some TLC, they love ya for it

 

[mary_juana420]

was i too hasty callin that middle one a fem
now i cannot see any balls or anything a couple of hairs and leaves are growin from the nodes bc there are no balls and there are some hairs does that mean its a female

 

[shaggie-420]

white hairs = Fem
clubs/bannanas/ nuts = male
sounds like a congrats might be in order?!?!

 

[berrydizzle]

Im thinking so, congrats man!

 

[mary_juana420]
