My understanding is dimming can change the spectrum on some bulbs, so it could be counter-productive.

For $200I got the Philips 315W mogul based LEC's and ballasts from Advanced Technology, and that included shipping. I already had both horizontal and vertical hoods for my CMH's, so I just use them.

The mogul based bulbs have a bit more UVA&B. I'm getting frostier buds, and more of them, than I was from 400W CMH's, and they work really well... plus my electric use is less, and so is the heat... I'm just waiting for Philips to discontinue these, lol!

I didn't think my Bodhi stuff could get any frostier, but it has!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming, ha!
Nice to hear! I plan to get a couple lec for a test run. If they perform im gonna phase out my hps. Im worried abt summer heat w my hps this sunmer. Was hoping the lec would save me in the hellish summer times we got here

I used uvb supplement for the last 4 weeks on their own timer 15 min on 3 hours off 30 min on then repeat the cycle. Just some 2 ft. reptile bulbs, 24w. hung them on the sides of my 600 hps on a mover. The uvb or blue def. pushes the tric production up. going to give these lec's a look. You guys are on point with all these mixed spectrum's. I can tell from the bud porn y'all have been posting :clap:

So i have an all led light system and was thinking of throwing a mh or hps in there for a. Extra light, b. I actually need some heat sometimes lol c. The outer parts of the room get dim cuz the leds go straight down.

So wat would u reccomennd to throw in thee if im just looking to add 250-400w. 1Bulb with leds.
Where I am standing nothing makes sense but CMH if you can get it. Saw a 320 watt CMH max out a tent I would put a 600 HPS into.

Have u harvested the blue tent yet? Im curious. About to buy new bulbs and i was thinking about alternating hps and mh every other light
Not yet it is going to be a week longer than the red tent... I have more calyxes and seriously more weight in the blue. Terpene sig also a lot sharper. Crystal clear.

Friggin Osram Powerstars nothing special. And a 400w covers a 600 MH's worth of room. These things are pretty efficient.

without further ado. Folks meet Silver Lotus pheno 1. Lime aid as i like to call it
So we are about 19 days from the flip for the screen. the extra plants are about 7.Could have trained the screen for another 2 days but oh well next time. screens at 60x30"
Please don't judge the space. I just built and had to get a few p[plants in there to give relief to my veg room and all these goji's and Love triangles

It seems like people are favoring the higher blue spectrum and extra uv of the mh, rather than the wider spectrum hps.

Imma get both and try cuz it should blend with my leds being mounted so close. I found a nice...wel decent light, ballast, reflector package for $180. Im not looking for massive yield upgades or nothing...i have a handbuilt tree structure that holds my lights so i dont drill into.my walls..but i have alittle space in the middle where a plant or two could fit....

so imma squeeze that light in there to get a full rectangle of grow space instead of two circles of light that almost intersecting if that makes sense.

Thanx for the input, im sure this helped more than just me.

Second run, you know the game. Thanks for the kind words!
I can't wait to get that room to its designed out plan. Right now it's just a frankenstien of all my grow gear. And nowhere near the base plan which is

I'd love to see that tree you have. Sounds interesting!

Harvest time for my SSDD. about 10 weeks from the 12/12 flip. As I have mentioned in previous posts this is my first garden in about 15 years so I am super stoked. Here are a couple of shitty pics because apparently I don't know how to work my camera yet =P

SSDD_Harvest_01.JPG SSDD_Harvest_01.JPG SSDD_Harvest_03.JPG

The bud on the left actually started to turn purple towards the top but the pictures don't really show it. So far I like this pheno, along with the purpling (is that even a word?) it had a nice leaf to calyx ratio which made it nice to trim up. Unfortunately this was one of the females I was not able to take a clone from. Oh well I still have 4 more females to cut down that I did get clones from so hopefully I find something as nice in those to keep around.

Couldn't have done it without all the knowledge that gets dropped in this thread. Thank you my bodhi brothers and sisters!

I would highly recommend that, I've been saying a 2/1 or even a 1/1 ratio is WAY better.. For yrs I've been saying this
the proof is in the pudding, I've done both and I always run at least one 600w mh in there.
for yrs I did three bulbs, two 400w hps, and one 400mh in the middle, in a closet.
The nugs from the overlapping lights always came out denser and more frosty.
My new fav thing is running a 12k 600w mh bulb in there.
a 1/1 ratio of a standard 600hps and 600 mh.
You'll visually see bigger glands and trichomes on the MH side.. on th hps side, a teensy bit denser flowers, but not anything really severe, the hps side tends to have more densely packed pistils.. and the mh side has more frost.
but the overlapping plants in the middle? Now that's where it's at.
For yrs and yrs I was waiting for them to make a 600w mh bulb
Forget about the lumen difference, the 12k 600 bulb s BRIGHT as hell..
I wear oxy-acetylene cutting goggles if I need to do anything in there

Its like a big pummel horse that fits up to the ceiling. Its hard to get apic of but its not fancy. Literally five 2x4s and two braces and some screws.

But she does the job.

so my local disp has got another Bodhi drop..
Annnnd they have the Appalachian super skunk
made with the Mass Super Skunk..
Anyone know if that is a sweet skunk or a roadkill?
Been looking for a skunk strain.. and anything that the male appalachia crossed with is awesome..
Anybody know?
I searched breedbay, and the internet, and no info on it
I want a stinky skunk and if I can get a Bodhi strain with that it'd be even better
