Well, round 3 is going good, and I can definitely say I'll be sticking with SCROG method for a good long while. I have two girls this round, at day 10 of flower, one Hashplant and one Alien OG. The hashplant definitely likes the scrog and practically trained itself, but the Alien OG seems to not like it as much. I've had a real hard time getting her to fill the screen.

I'm loving this hobby so much, and try to learn as much as possible each round. I definitely need to lower my screen a few inches, I had to veg for 6 weeks just to get it filled in about 75%, I would ultimately like to cut down my veg time to 4 weeks. This will also be the last time I run some random ass clones from the dispensary. I'm thinking about picking up a bunch of feminized seeds of two or three different strains, and really learn as much as I can about those strains and really dial everything in.

Thanks for fixing that for me. I'll uplaod some more recent shots of the scrog and make sure I get the images linked correctly so I'm not giving anybody a heart attack!

I'm at day 30 of flower and my scrog is blowing up, can't wait until harvest day!
 
I am in need of some 660nm T5 HO 54watt fluorescent tubes. Cannot locate where to purchase 660 NM UV Lighting at all and getting the run around from. Dr's for smi on the zoo med floral suns as well I have read some info which has me a bit doubtful to the validity of the actual 660-630nn content emissions by the zoomed. So if anyone could link vendors online preferrably as recommendation for highest and most dependable 660nm source. Thanx

Having extensive dialog with UVL, and having used 1/8 UVL 660, my guess is they abandoned the idea. It didn't bring anything to the table, or last beyond 2 grows.

I also have a ufo 90 with heavy 650-660. In my current grow (see my threads) doing a side-by-side, it ain't all that as long as you have sufficient 500-630 you will not miss 660. People who swear by it do not understand the importance of 500-630.

Now, knowing I won't convince you, Agro make a 4ft 660 led tube, so simply buy a shop light fixture and retro-wire for the Agro 660. FYI its $77! That buys a lot of WW watts

Best, who knows. Here's what I use.

Picked up some replacement tubes from from 1000bulbs.com for about $3.50 each delivered. Didn't want to bet caught without spares.

http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-FLT...=1380760691&sr=8-1&keywords=t5+8+4'+hydrofarm

I also have one of their 'Designer' series. It's nicer to look at otherwise they seem to be the same. Both can run the 4 inside tubes only, or just the 4 outside tubes. Two power switches,,, I like that, saves half the sparks if/when you don't need them.

I've also gone to all 6500K tubes.... the way they come from Hydrofarms... tubes included by the way.

As you can see I am getting damn good results using Quantum BB 8 bulb. I use some of the Quantum bulbs mixed with specialty aquarium bulbs, but bulbs don't last anywhere near as long as stated + QUALITY bulbs are expensive.

I've been playing with leds for 3 years now. Back then they sucked, but today, it's a different game, IF, you know what to look for
