you can run 1kw lights in a cooltube, best to keep it in case the hood runs too hot lad, i reckon there is no cooler light than one of them.

many a time my plants grew into the glass and never got burned, i used to keep one in my veg tent and run it constantly it still never got beyond warm.

the spread is the only thing letting them down but if you could run it vert like dst with no reflector in it then i don't see a better yielding way to grow.

id love to do a vert but i'm way too lazy man!. my main goal with everything is to make it as simple as possible, i spend less and less time on the grow every round, maybe i'll get to a point where the weed will grow itself :weed:

i bought a honey bee extractor a few weeks back but still not got round to using the twat, i just made keif instead. trying to find decent quality gas i a right pain in the arse, the looks i was getting asking for it in shops lol

quick question for ppl, With my Gringo SOG, just potted the cuttings up into a mixture of 3L coke bottles and 6.5L square pots, how much/little veg time do you think i should give em to have em end up under 3ft? currently they are ranging from 2- 6" above the soil

get em all in 6.5 and flip em at 9 to 12 inches put the small ones in the centre

having not flowered it i can't honestly say but it grows very uniform in veg, it has bigger node spacing than the exo so i would imagine it ends up slightly taller, if you flip at 12" i reckon you should be pretty close.

half coke bottles though!? lol

i think you'll find the ones in the bottles need watering more often and won't yield as much but will end up denser so long as you dont let them wilt, that is my exp when growing the same clone in two different sized pots anyway, just don't like the sound of transparent containers

next lot will be all in 6.5`s, just trying out the 3L bottles to see what the difference in yield is as if its negligible i may get a veg tent set up when ive got some money n pack the room full of coke bottles lmao

ghet I rec you need height for sog so I don't top mine just clear the lower

i agree, depends on the strain though. skunk hybrids get too bushy when you top them but og types love being topped no matter what

lol they have all been sprayed black, just interested in the yield difference as i can roughly fit 26 6.5L`s in cupboard or over 100 bottles lmao
