Hi all you 600w lovers. I am fairly new to my 600, and had some fun times with my 400, and also had some fun times on the 400watt club thread. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/61539-400w-club-show-off-your-246.html

So here is one for anyone with a 600watt (or there or there abouts.) Feel free to posts your pics of your set up, your girls, your seeds, your harvest, your suggestions.

This thread is for lovers of peace and weed, so no fighting please, unless it's organised, in a ring, and you have a ref!!!

So, funnily enough I have 600 watt HPS in a cool tube, with 125cm/6' ruck inline fan for cooling purposes, I have an inline fan (god knows the cfm) but it's a 20 watt pulling air in from outside. Temps range between 20-26c, and humidity sits around 55-60. I have a space of around 120cmX140cm (height around 2.6m.) I have set up my girls on steps, and have my 600 vertical in the middle, Trying for an arena type grow. I also have a few girls up in the stalls as an experiment (pics below).

For the ladies we have some Headband, OG Kush, Cali Orange, 2 mystery clones - will reveal later - there is a comp in my grow journal)
And waiting to pop we have a BlackJack, a NewYork47, and some Mango's. It's all in veg time at the moment due to previous clone wars (that I lost.)

So come on peeps, show of your skills!!.

Peace, DST

disclaimer - I searched but could not find a 600 club, but if anyone knows of one, I am happy to hear about it.

I'm not sure what happened on my first post. I'm new to forums. Anyway, What a coincidence. I just received my first two 600s on Saturday. I have always used 400s' and 1000s' (magnetic) I have mixed the spectrum before to see what happens.This time it's all 600 H.P.S. I have two more on the way. I'm going to run them in a 4x8 grow box first and eventually (hopefully ) use them as supplemental in a greenhouse. I'll keep you posted.

I recently installed a 1000 Nanolux DE in the bloom room and I've noticed a 20% decrease in production from the 600 hps. I called High Tech Garden Supply to inquire about the led's and explained my problem. He was nice enough to inform me that the led's that he had were inferior to the hps or mh as to bud development-note, he doesn't carry the cree based lights. I appreciated the honesty and highly recommend them.
I'm replacing the nanolux with 2- 600hps.

:peace:

Any of you 600ers know anything about cars and electricy?

I'm trying to get my volcano running in the car for trip coming up and having the problems.

I ran my old vape successfully before but since then I've upgraded to a volcano. And when I tried running it on the power inverter I had it would just kill instantly. Well it was only rated for 75w constant and 100w max.

I plugged in my volcano to my killawatt meter and with the heat and pump on it runs around 123-124w. So I went and got a 140w constant, 280w max, power inverter. The heat doesn't work and the pump seems like it's only getting a juice.

So do you think I just need a bigger power inverter? I'm thinking about just picking up a big 410w to make sure it works.

Sorry for going a little off course. I did as much googling I could and basically found nothing.

I know that I rode in a Dogde minivan once with some hardcore stoners and used a Volcano. I did some quick research for ya, and others seem to be having a similar problem. Someone online claimed to be having trouble with a Volcano and a 400 watt inverter. I guess it's Honda Generator time.
