parabolics are shit for 1 reason, heat, unlike a hood,

in order form worse to best

wing reflector- parabolic- cool tube- air cooled hood

simple as really., in big grow areas then yes, but for our uses its over kill and a fucko to deal with the temps

Plenty space, I'm running 2 rooms.

The 3 at the back in airports (2 Dog, 1 Anesthesia) are getting done under the 600w cooltube in that 1.2m tent there.

The 2 Exo SCROG's are going under a 400w with a regular reflector in the loft space from before.

The 2 auto's (if female) will be getting moved between the 2 spaces so I can keep em in 18/6 as both spaces will be lit at opposite times of the day, this also has the added benefit of not having 1000w popping on and off like clockwork showing up on my electric bill (I get sent a real time bar graph of my electricity usage every 6 months by Eon).

Cool tubes are cooler than air cooled hoods because of no flat edges making pockets of turbulence and less metal to radiate heat inside your space.
Cooltubes have shit spread though unless you get one of the new ones that is a full glass tube with a separate reflector suspended above, then those ones are better than most aircooled hoods.

have you tried mainling yorky?? I in speed growing i will make the cut as above if i have time i prefer to mainline.....

Mainlining is a gimmick mate, a pretty looking gimmick but gimmick non the less.

It takes longer for a mainline over a SCROG because you only ever use the very ends of the branches for flowering tops and trim the rest rather than use all tops along the whole branch at each node, it serves no purpose over a SCROG at all.

I find the illogical idea funny as fuck if I'm honest, it's the hormone IAA that is responsible for bud size at any given point on the plant (exactly why SCROG works like it does) and not the notion of 1 main stem feeding each cola an equal amount if nutes.

Proponents of mainlining should study basic botany first instead of warping their learning with pseudo practices and forum myths.

The Smelly Cherry that Don put over the SLH is pretty stable, I think he's on about F4-F5
so you won't get many throwbacks from deeper within the SC lineage.

The ones I did were as different as chalk and cheese but I could tell the SLH was the culprit.
There's some shite in there but as we've seen with the pink trichome, purple yielding monster there's some magic to be found.

To be fair I stopped trying to spot pheno lean from vegging plants ages ago, it's pretty much as futile as asking how long is a piece of string.

Yes i too agree the "hub" for nutes idea is load of shite.....there is no trimming involved normally.....users grow soild colas of bud, the idea behind the tek and a main selling point of the method is that there is no popcorn waste bud, it ensures buds remain all the same size meaning that in terms of ripening the whole bud should be ripe and equally mature all over.....

it is a tek however to keep plants small....this means when you start growing trees and mainling most of the benefits such as no popcorn bud goes out the window......

next run i will be mainling for 8 tops letting them grow a foot tall then i will supercrop all 8 branches so they are 90degs to the floor pointing north, north east etc

to create a star shape.....i feel this will produce the benifits of mainling and scrog together ...

interesting thoughts .....

This only works up to a certain point.

You grow foot long + colas and the top of that cola will mature before the bottom, IAA again.
There might not be much in it but the bigger/taller you grow those colas the more the margin widens.

Food for thought.

Laters.....
