OK, Here are some pics... ill try adding some captions eventually..
OK, Here are some pics... ill try adding some captions eventually..
OK, here we go now.. just uploaded a shit load of pics... plants are at about 3 weeks (should be 4 weeks, but my timer was fucked up for about a week before i replaced it)... just now starting to form some TRICHS on some of the plants (cloned the SHIT out of the ones that formed quickest trichs!)... below is a picture of the POWER BOX that I just hooked up.. I love it because it has the AUBE timer built into it... its a quality piece of equipment... http://www.powerboxinc.com/ ...(tellem lone wolf from ICMAG sent ya, lol)
as you can see below, i swapped out the 1k's and put in some Lumatek 600w Dual Digital Ballasts... these ballasts are EXCELLENT... they have a knob on them, which is on the other side of the ballast (ill get a pic up eventually of the other side).. anyways, the knob has a super lumens switch...(ill put a pic up below my pic that i found on the net..)... anyways its pretty excellent.. the super lumens switch really does crank up the brightness on the bulb... it doesn't seem like it could be good for the bulb, but hey, what the hell to i care? I believe new bulbs should be purchased every 3 months anyways... so why the hell not get the most out of them while ya got'em? I really think these 600's can compete with the 1k's if you use the super lumens switch... we shall see! I took out the 1k's and sold them off because I figured why not use less electricity and get the same amount of bud? hopefully that turns out to be a good move on my behalf... I also picked up 2 more hoods and bulbs... I am going to attatch the flip box (from powerbox) to one of the lines coming off the dual.. I will do this to both duals and have them flip on about 6 hours into the 12 hour lighting period... i intend on putting these extra lights on light rails/movers on each side where there currently is not any light... do you understand what im saying? when i get some extra funds together I am going to be buying the light movers and making this happen... i want to get FULL use out of my space.. so eventually it will be 6 lights/3600w w/ 220v plugs... ill have more light coverage and less electrical consumption with the lights then i did in my winter run with only 4 lights... im really using A TON of juice right now especially with the bad ass 22000btu ac running 24/7 keeping the room at a cool 75 with lights on and off... oh by the way, the ac is splurging out TONS upon TONS of h2o... i have a plastic container under it, and after not checking it for 2 days, it overflowed and spilled out and leaked through the ceiling below... fucked my shit UP BAD!!! i have tons of patch work to do and thats for damn sure... learned my lesson though! CHECK THE DAMN AC WATER BUCKET EVERY DAY!... im sure you guys don't have to worry about that kind of stuff, but I sure do and its no fun... I need to figure out how to add a hose or PVC to that container and somehow run it to a larger reservoir... or maybe i can add one of those on/off float switches.. not sure what they are exactly called, or even how to install them for that matter.... ok done with the rant...
more copy and paste info for y'all...
here's the ghetto wall.. i installed some recepticles to their own dedicated breakers so that I can run some fans and other things without poppin breakers...
3 prong dryer recepticle
here are the 4 hoods, and the canopy below is REALLY getting close to the lights.. i have been bending them and doing whatever i could possibly do to keep them at ease... i believe i can keep them tame before they hit the lights... i waited too long to stick them into flower, that's for damn sure... oh well, i KNOW i can finish flowering them here... also, i will be installing those other two lights to the left and right of these lights... so imagine, another hood on the left here on a light mover, and another on the right on a light mover... easy as abc simple as 1-2-3
here i have the carbon scrubber big boy laying on its side... the heat from the lights is all brought to this scrubber... the AC is to the right of it and instantly cools the hot air and the whole room as well...
3 weeks in. pic taken with bberry
ok this is really freaking me out... i noticed some mold spores brewing up on the vent where the AC blows out the cold air... HOW THE HELL is this happening? ? ? i sprayed it all down with bleach... i'm really lost with figuring out how this is happening... doesn't mold HATE cold air? weirdness..
my fave NUTES... dutchmaster GOLD... as well as some liquid carbo load... i also use flairform silica, and some pk13/14 about 2 weeks before flush.. pk13/14 is some crazy stuff that will SURELY increase your yield (if you use it right)...
should i use it? ? ? eh, maybe on a couple i will... i read bad things about it...
