Are you sure its not because your res temps were higher durring the summer months?

Yeah I have 2 chillers (one for backup) No need to use it atm tho. I got it no matter the environmental conditions, I got it in summer/winter I figure I need an army to fight back. I think my army is winning right now :jump:

pic update

pic update

Just switched to flower, look out for some cool pics in the next 8 weeks.

I bought a vertical socket so I took a 600 and put it up vertical b/c my big ass mothers don't really fit under the hood/ceiling they are too tall. They all have like 4 huge branches so I staked them all and made a wall of ganja surrounding the bulb :dance013: lol

I also chopped my little 600w closet grow. Next up going in the closet is going to be 1 big ass mother in 10 gallon pot with a scrog screen. Tomorrow I need to make the screen frame and add my 1in chicken wire. The plant will basically be ready to flower as soon as it goes under the screen. I might wait a week just to make sure I train each and every branch into a hole.

Hey just thought I would let everyone know, my Hanna Tri Meter was a little off after calibration I had to add some ph Up (like first time had to use it lol). Yesterday my readings were pH=5.50 and EC=1790 12hrs later it is pH=5.56 and EC=1785

Lets hope the ec keeps going down little by little and ph goes up the same way. I like it like that!

I don't have vertical sockets but I still hang my bulbs vertically... Should I be worried?

Brotha Im not the person to be asking. How do you have it hanging vertically? You have to have some sort of socket that your bulb screws into.
 
Sorry, you mentioned something about getting a vertical socket and I was just wondering if they were mandatory.

Here's how I have them now... I'm sure it's alright but I just wanted to check how necessary 'vertical sockets' were.

Scrog in my closet 600W

Scrog in my closet 600W

Took an oversized mother plant threw a screen over her a week ago and she is fillin it up nicely. Notice the plant is not directly under the screen.

She is in a 10 Gallon pot of Ocean Forrest out the bag, vegged for about 5 months maybe more? I plan on feeding 7g of maxibloom/per gallon of water. And an occasional feed of koolbloom at the last 2 weeks before I flush.

That is sick!!!! I've always been a fan of tying up huge moms. Is that a 600w over it?

Yea sir, 600W with a metal Halide atm. I will switch it to hps when I flower. I want some of the smaller nodes to grow past the screen. So maybe a week or two longer before I flip. Im not really in a hurry with this scrog.

I think thats a great idea. I wouldn't go any longer though. I cant wait to see the results.

Some pictures of my room blowing up. These were takin a few days ago, I will try and get a few good pictures tonight before the lights come on.

The second picture shows my intake box, I have #2 4in holes cut in the wall, I have #2 4in fans sucking fresh air in the room threw a filter box I built. Inside the filter box I have 2 16inx25inx1in home furnace filters stacked ontop of each other. The fresh air enters at the floor, right by the plants.

The last picture shows my exhaust, but I just got a new 12inx39in Phresh Filter and a new 12in Vortex fan. Im waiting a week or two to install this new filter fan combo.

This morning before my lights went out I installed my NEW Vortex 12in Fan (1140 cfm) and 12x39 Phresh filter rated up to 1700 cfm. I had to build a custom box for my fan to insert into for proper exhaust and to create and light tight set up. i dont want any light leaks lol.

Pics tonight when lights come on!

The girls are looking great for 20 days of 12/12

The first 2 pics are my 600W closet. These were taken last night right before they went to sleep for a 24hr dark period. They are being switched to flower when lights come on.

The next two pictures show the new phresh filter and new 12in vortex fan installed. The other pic is showing the old filter and 8in can fan. I will probably take the old fan/filter and put it in my 600W closet to replace the 6in fan /filter currently in there.

Now on too the 20 day flower pics!

There is much room for improvements, like adding 12 more plants to the room and possibly monocropping to maximize yeild.

There is 6 different strains on one rez.
