What a score. I think your mh is like, 10,000k or so. I have a 10k fluoro tube but not used it much. Apparently you get super tight internodes. Great setup anyway bro, happy for ya.

Lets get this shit started!!!

Lets get this shit started!!!

Alright everybody I got my ducting hooked up and I'm starting to veg today!!! Air Pots or not I don't care at this point I'm going to hopefully get a few today but I need another fan to blow air around the tent and I'm not too sure about this hood I mean I don't know how close I should be able to keep my hand under it with my fan running? But it seems like if my plants get within 6-8 inches of the light the will be burnt! But I'll get everything fixed up properly in the next few days but I got some pics for ya :joint: :witch2: :joint:

lookin good thundurkle.
I am currently growing in a GL80 tent which is the same dimensions as the DR, just a little newer. All i have to say is THEY ROCK. After air-cooling my hood u can put ur hand 2 inches under the glass and barley feel heat. Im working on dialing mine into the space to maximize yeild in there, should have it down next run. Ill throw some pics up of my tent just so you can seel what its like with 4 flowering plants in there.

In the cups we have 2 Bubba Kush x Blue Moonshine's on the left and 3 Thunder Goo's on the right

So I'm not sure how long I'll need to veg for my HID buddy says probably no more than a few days under HID cuz the growth is going to be way faster so he says so I was thinking a week?
By they way they are all being fed Pure Blend Pro Grow with the Organicare Supplements Huvega Humega and Seaplex

movin on up!


tip of advice ,get that light as close to them as possible with out toching the bulb.... like 12 -18 in. max.
this will blast all the lumens all at once and kick start your girls into high gear.....
slowly pull the light up and away as they grow and stretch....

best of luck .

can anyone fill me in a little about these air pots? Are they just pots with alot of holes to allow extra airation?
