Looks good man. How is the secret jardin tent treating ya? I think this is the one i want to get compare to all the others. Are your girls in roots organic soilless this time or are you trying something different?
Ready Gro Moisture Formula the Roots Soilless Hydro Media needs to be cut with a bag of straigh coco to be any good IMO...
Hi Urklea, I'd like to ask you a question I've noticed that like me you seem to like to get into the technical details of lighting.
I have a 8 x 54w T5 light(4'), the only problem is that there is no 2700k bulbs available, even the Sylvania factory in Germany says that they don't make them right now! so I have to use the 3000k ones instead, they work fine but for 430w I did expect a bit more bam! I've been looking around & I found these bulbs which could be promissing. They are
(these are from an aquarium shop which explains the coral & fish talk)
ProColour T5 HO 80w
Deep red sections at 660nm. Supplementation lam encourages reddish florescence in SPS corals
Because of the strong optical effect of ProCoulor T5, we recommend a mixing proportion of 1:4 (ProColor : AquaBlue Special / BluePlus)
Please ensure that the ProColor tubes are not installed on the edges of the lighting fixtures, but rather in the center
For more information follow the link below

at $44 each I'd want to be sure that they're worth it!
What do you think???
it sounds good to me as I know that in LEDS they use a lot of red 660nm
I've asked the same question to ScrubNinja since he also is interested in that type of stuff, hopefully between the 3 of us we should come to a consensus! thanks for the help buddy

No worries bro but yea just call me Urkel haha.. damn I gotta say those are some VERY nice T5 systems especially interested in the 6 bulb 4ft 480w one to use for a SOG in my DR80 turned on it's side when I upgrade over the summer. I want to see what I can pull from a 2x4 table filled with a HD SOG I think I could fit 40 of the 1 liter Air Pots which would be PERFECT for that set up. I'm willing to bet I'd have a hell of a yield off some fluoro's like that and being in the Air Cell's they would give me at the least 10g a plant so I'd be close to a pound which is doable as we all saw DrBud with the 72 plants in flower would give 1.33lbs at 16 plants per sq ft so that's a side project I'd like to do for fun...
Also go with a GROWLAB as they are the best right now IMO and have a few better features than the Secret Jardin line of tents. Like one thing I like about GL's is the flaps on the outside and inside that go over the zippers. Also the other thing I like more about the GL's than mine is the vents on the bottom are able to be opened and closed from inside the tent which would make my life easier. Right now I have to crawl under my desk to reach around the side of my tent and close the flap when lights go out so I don't have light leaks which were the cause of the few hermi flowers I've had form on my 2 grows I've had so far in the tent.
So yea folks check out this T5 system...
I think that's a very nice system right there with it being sealed with glass equipped with a cooling system ect here's the link to check em out.. ATI Sunpower HO T5 System

What up Urkel!
Glad I found your new thread! Good lookin setup, bout time you went with a sealed AC hood! Even with my 600 I can keep my hand on my tube!!
I didnt see you mention if you were going to transplant when you go 12/12... Are you planning on it? If so what are you going into?
Ive got 5 girls @ 26 days flower in #3 smart pots in my DR80 under 600.... you know!
Anyway, thought Id get your opinion for my next grow. Im thinking of going with 9 #2 smart pots, Cuts from our local clubs, straight to 12's.... (Im pretty sure 9 will fit) Or should I stay with 5 #3's vegged for +/- 10 days? got an opinion?
Take Care

Well I'll tell you 9 #1 Smart Pots is pretty packed I don't see #2's working with that many and no I'm not transplanting, well I might trans plant the bigger Sugar Cane Kush to a #2 Smart Pot if I can get some extra money at the moment cuz I'm broke as hell... I was thinking of just popping her into a #1 Smart Pot I have which is wider than the 3 liter Air Pot she's in but not as tall! So I'm not sure if I want to break the top layer of roots up at all but it does seem like I need to transplant. Then again I got a buddy that grows 4ft plants in 2gal Air Pots so I think I'll be ok...

Ok folks the show has started!!! I am predicting this to be my best grow yet and I'll continue to kick ass from here on out using House & Garden nutrients. These are the best nutes I've used and put it like this out of ALL the "FREE" nutrient sample packs I've got in the last two years. House & Garden is the first that has made me WANT to buy more for my future runs. They are just so easy, I like mixing equal parts of the A&B base nutes cuz that makes shit simple and not to mention the SUPER concentrated additives. For example, BudXL which I found out is much better than Bud Candy supposedly as it has all the extracts, carbs, vitamins and amino acids plus special enzymes that extract the plants natural sugars from the leaves and the bracts of branches giving the buds their true flavor naturally not just dumping sugar on em. So I decided to this round I'm not going to use the Bud Candy and then use it next round on one of the strains I have going now. Ok enough rambling and on with the show but remember my camera sucks now but I should have a new one by my next grow.... By the way the show is starting at 7 days of flowering and tomorrow we start week 2!

Were all just lurking and waiting for those bud pics Thundurkel....
Good shit lol I'm super proud of this grow and how beautiful these girls are! Is it just me or are these the best plants I've done? I know it's still really early but I'm thinking I got 2 zips per plant coming and maybe better so I'm shooting for 3/4 lb to 1lb with 7 plants. Also next round I'm going to have a Active Aqua 2x2 table and res in there so I don't have to pull my plants out when I water. I may just do a Flood and Drain system with Smart Pots and run H&G Aqua Flakes instead of Cocos A&B and have it flood 3x a day and watch my ladies go crazy! I just can't shut up about House & Garden cuz they are just shitting on all the other companies I've tried. Cutting Edge Solutions is my choice though if I was to run a 3part and I may give them a try again when I upgrade to the Grow Lab GL80L with 2 2x2 tables and a separate res for each table. With that I'd do a side by side and use nothing but H&G on the one table and nothing but CES on the other and see how they do. I still plan on using GREX when I see it in my shop cuz that shit is NICE! Still not sure how it does next to Roots Excelurator which I really want to see side by side sometime. I mean really how much does that come down to in cost? $125 per liter and you use 2.5ml per gal vs $120 per 500ml and you use 1.1ml per gal??? I guess it works out to around the same? Isn't 500ml just half a liter pretty much? So you get 2x as much for around the same price and use 2x as much lol I just answered my own question hahahaha... Anybody try them side by side?
