OK

Been a while since I had a thread. I have a grow going that is a little on the large side.

I wont really get into specifics, but here are some stats.

30 600 W Vertical lights.
2 400 W MH
Multiple Floros.
here are what I am using to feed them.




I got a bunch of clones,, that were in some sad shape. Romulan x timewarp
It took alot of work to get them to stay alive





A couple weeks later



Beginning of flower









A little later on














Some new pics in a bout a week

I must say nice grow and wow thats alot of watts ur usin there, and not to knock ur grow or anything because the plants look great and u obviously have alot of experience... But what is the logic behind why your placing the lights vertically so high above the plants, seems like a waste of the potential of the lights, and second question why do you have them in such an open area? Seems like it would be even worse for the already unfocused lights.

Thanks for your comments Piff

I have the lights vertical, without reflectors, because I have heat issues right now. I have the large area, because I am not running full capacity right now, I am only at bout 60 %

There are other things in that room that are not shown, so it just appears bigger than it actually is

Reflection, light dispersion, and maximizing light density to it's fullest potential is what makes huge buds and big yields.. That's what makes paying the electric bill worth it..

I love your efforts and drive to go big.. but bro... you need to maximize the light you are using..

[Dr Dog]

appreciate your concern

Thanks for stopping in, The pictures do not do it justice, it is quite light in there. I wear uvb glasses while I am in there

lol.. i bet you do... I swear i have lost some of my eyesight from HPS... haha

I'm watching this thread.. I look forward to the end result.

well what I was thinking is if you spread out the plants and lowered the lights to the middle of the plants you would get alot more usage of the light.

good point.. or. cut the lights in half on the next grow and focus on light density and reflectors.. I bet you get a bigger harvest from the weight it produces.. Sometimes less is better than more.. just something to ponder while you have heat issues

So that really is you in yer avatar? I had my suspicions.

[PiffGuru]

And on that note.. Are your heat issues from the local climate, or because there r so many lights... Either way ill be watchin to see how they turn out GL
