Hey all,
I finally made the swap on the lights. I was running two 400's but the heat was an issue so I swapped out one of them, the one that covers the first 4 weeks of flower with two of those 125w Sunblasters.
I've now got the 400 hps on the right covering the first 4 weeks of flower and a 600 hps on the left finishing off the last 4 weeks.
I also added the cooltubes.
My temps used to be 82 lights on, 60 lights off.
Now they are 71-72 lights on, 57 lights off.
The lights off temp is due to a cold spell the last month and will mellow out soon enough, it's normally around 64 the other 10 months a year.
The light output used to be (combined both sides) 650watts/75000 lumens
Now it is 1000watts/140000 lumens
I was hitting about 8 oz a month.
I'm thinking I should hit about 10 now with the increase in light as well as the better daytime temps which will boost overall growth.
Here's a couple pics!
The bottom is the flower chamber temp with lights on.
Under the 600watt (Just installed, next round this side should be bigger)
This is 10 days from chop, a little purple from the cold spell.
A basic outline of my little room.
Some Rene 10 days from finish, day 46. If you look at it, you can see why it makes such good bubble hash, the crystals look fake almost, like they are stuck on top of the plant instead of being part of it. They just break off so easily in the icy water when you're making hash!
Or it's just me really stoned right now. Most likely, nevermind!
