u say u want to add a 1000w.. but what size is ur room u want to add it to.. because honestly. u might be better off with 2 more 600s.. honestly. . i only use 1000s kuz my rooms are to small to hang 600s evenly ..

 

[noobs1988]

how big are your rooms that you hang 1000ws in?

I already have a 1000w ballast -hood -and bulb. Thats all I can fit for now.
I have a 12' long lightrail 3.5 I can hook up to the 1000w'er.

I'm super curious about the light rail (same as a light mover?)..
I'm thinking of putting my 1000w on one as well. What kind of hood are using for it? I'm shopping...

[OvergrowDaWorld]

Just a Sun Systems 6" delux. air-cooled w/ glass. Thats for 600's.
For a 1000w, Ide get the XXL Magnum aircooled hoods w/ 8" ducting and glass.

Im puffin on a pheno of Cheesedog this morning that I really like.
Sweet/dank taste and smell with a very powerfull high.
I wish it wasnt so branchy and produced bigger bottom buds. She is a POWERHOUSE!
The buds are loose/fluffy, but covered in frost. The tops are sorta dense.1 pheno has big, hard, buds out of 6.
The rest are extremely branchy with tons of tiny, loose, popcorn and small colas.
The potency is off the chain though. Very strong meds. Makes incredible concentrates.

UPDATE.....

Im having my first issue with Powdery Mildew. Its been too cool at night and day. The outside back corner of my garden got hit pretty good, but luckily I could chop off the two small buds that had it and threw them away. Some leaves here and there on my flowering plants have it speradically. I picked off the leaves affected but there is more I need to check for.
Its been between Day - Temps: 69*-73* / Hum:39* - 45*
Night - Temps: 60* - 65* / Hum: 40* - 50*

So Im not sure if I just need to make it warmer in there?
My heater wont work at medium setting for some reason.
It kicks on 1x, then doesnt kick back on again. So my room was 56* 1 night when I tried it a montyh ago. It only works on low setting. These really cold nights reeked havoc in my flower room me thinks.
Ive never had PM here at all.
Plus Im doing perpetual and for some reason its more subceptable to PM attacks.

SULFUR BURNER BRO!

Great thread!

So I cleaned the other half of my harvested side and sprayed my flowering ladies with tap water @ 8.0+ ph. I picked off any tiny leaves that had small spots of white on them.
Not too much.....maybe 1/2 gram worth of wet leave pieces. Im lucky I got it before it spread.
Things should be fine now. Day temps -76* Day humidity -39
Night temps 65* Night humidity - 43

Fwiw, powdery mildew is a systemic disease. It can not just be rinsed off. Try to resource your cuts if you passed them to friends.

What do you mean? I dont pass out cuts and this was my fault.
Im growing perpetual. 2-600's. My 1 half was being flushed and raised the ph to 60% -65% at night, for a week.
It was either a heater at night or a dehumidifier. Not both.
I chose the heater and it still got down to 62* with a RH at 65% for a week. It was really cold outside here for about 10 days.
-10* at night.
So this pm was my fault. Not the plants. They're are at week 5 of flower and only had extremely small patches of PM on some suger leaf here and there. Not much at all. Ill be fine until harvest in 4 weeks. I believe the 2 buds on the Cheesedog that was at 11 wks that had it really bad, in the far back corner, sent spores into the air. Some of them spores were just barely starting to do something when I caught it.
The plants that were just barely showing signs of PM growth were closest to that problem area and some on the outsides of my garden. Not much at all.
As long as I removed/harvested the problem plant, have a fan blowing on them strongly, Keep temps warmer and humidity down I will be fine.
Im also not leaving cut leaves on the floor in piles near my charcoal filter to dry out anymore. I know this can cauze mold to form and I was stupid to not throw them away.
Totally my fault this time. I got it in check now.
PM cannot grow on a surface with a ph above 8. Thats why I sprayed the leaves with tap. To change the surface ph of my plants.
I wasnt trying to wash it off. But thank you for your input.

 

[one.sixoneeight]

you need to research how powdery mildew lives within the plant, even when it is not showing its flowering body (white powder)

 

[OvergrowDaWorld]

Will do. Thanx.

So I checked again to see if there is any PM patches starting to grow and there are a few tiny spots on the StrawberryDogshit#3's only. So this problem will be gone once the #3's are either chopped early and thrown away, or grown to completion and washed in a H2o2 solution. I will prob chop em early if I see the problem persisting. Its very little spots here and there. Not much at all, but enough so Im pulling off tiny leaf pieces to get rid of the blooming fungi. Im gonna isolate all #3's and keep them under there own lamp to watch them carefuilly.
Before I go the extreme route and chop em at week 6 out of 11, I'm gonna spray them with 1/10th milk per gln of water.
See if that keeps it from forming on the crystal leaves. I may spray them with a mild H2O2 solution instead. Then wash the plants off, and put a fan on them hard, a week before harvest.

My RH was at 29% this morning. Can a very low ph cauze PM?
I was hoping to keep it really dry in there so it wouldnt grow.
I put my humidifier on too bring it to around 40% just incase.
Any input as to a low ph?
Any input if I can spray a H2O2 solution on flowering plants to combat PM? I know harvested flowers can be washed in it, but not too sure about while they're growing?
