Juicy's Sea Of Green Inn'A SCreeN

looking mit e tas tee!! dual 400$ huh im doing 600$ i figered out it does alot better for me if i use bigger pots done tons of 1&2 gal get small yeilds but if i go bigger pots buds swell much bigger and i love the cooltube or any aircooled hood getting the bulbs close and moving the plants around often, not much you can do about that in a screen, but then a screen seems to not need that anyway,,hmm wonder what would happen if you got new bulbs

Yeah, I hear ya bro Bigger pots, bigger lights = bigger buds

I like the idea with being able to move around the plants, but even without the screen that be tricky, as the roots has grown through the pots and into the bed of claypebbles.

The peeps there has been following my journals know I've been dreaming about upgrading too dual sixers. And as a matter of fact the courier brought em home yesterday, YAY!!

2 Sonlight digital 600 w ballasts with Agro bulbs. Exciting stuff
Next grow will deff be with those two badboys

Do you Guys think we should spurt in with the sixers and let em burn from mid week 5 or let the 400'z burn out and take out last batch as is??

i would add the new two 600 watt ballasts and lights to your grow, it should reward you with increased bud weight.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly and as a side bonus we should get an increase in picture quality as well

Yea, its just everyrhing runs so smooth as is. Temps are in check, watering cycle are in check and so on. I am worried I'll have to do some tweaking when I bring in the sixers. The Old magnetic ballast do generate a lot of heat compared to the digital. So I hope it just evens out with the reduced radiant ballast heat and the increased lamp heat.

tell you what i dont notice a big difference with the 400-600 jump now 1k seems huge to me but the diff is 200 watts vs 400watts, if your hoods are air cooled,should be fine andby moving over to digis vs mag that should makup ant difference, the 600s will up the harvest if your just in week 5, are the ballasts adjustable? you could run at 75 percent and get benifits and no real increase in heat, ok im getting at this YOU SHOULD DO IT! you know you WANT TO!

You're absolutely right bro
-Do a bear sh!t in the woods

The ballast's is not adjustable, I figured they would be cranked to superlumens all the time anyway, and since I could get a good deal on the ordinary ballast's I just went for it, I would get 1 adjustable for the same price as I gave for the 2 ordinary...


We've been out in the veggie garden all weekend long, so nothing has been done regarding the lights just yet.
Well, better get to it then

Picture Update from DAY 34\35

 

[BigIrishDoode]

UPDATE FROM DAY 37 OF FLOWER, WE'RE AT DAY 39 NOW
-OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW

Changed out the ballast's the other day, YAY

The room is running a' lot hotter, I can feel the heat through the cooltubes a couple of inches from the glass now.
Canopy is at 30 degrees Celsius, and top of room 35
It has been hot outside tho, but we'll have to do something about this. Would love to run lights on at night time, but the room makes too much noise with everything running as is. If we could lower the noise level of the grow op, we might be able to run at night time? Better look in to this..
But all in all I am happy with the new lights, it's hotter but it's also brighter Also the pictures dont have the black stripes which is nice

Magnetic 400w

Digital 600w

Had to remove all ducting on the tubes, so we could change out the cords and bulb's for the ballast's.

UPDATE DAY 39 FLOWER

The temps are within optimum the first couple of hours until the room heat up. Then it's about 5 degrees Celsius above

Just above canopy 1 hour after lights on

Just below canopy 1 hour after lights on

Rootzone 1 hour after lights on

Every "zone" then rises throughout the day, up to 5 degrees Celsius further then the pictures shows, until lights come off again..

FLOWERS OF THE DAY 39

Pistils are starting to turn

Hey JS maybe we can help you out with the heat issues that extraction fan/box you made put your filter on floor or up high then fan pulling through it pushing air into your lights already clean and it will keep your lights cooler than just open pulling through if you understand what ummm saying or trying to say lets brainstorm I love a good brainstorming session
