Cuz I've been there and smoked THAT!
He's the one who got me out of water tubs and into Tupur, too. My op is a lot more consistent now because of it.

Holy shit! Wow. What was he getting on the SE?
Ok what are your thoughts on A/C hood for these? I have researched and the Sun Systems one is specific in design for the way the air flows through it. I have 8 foot height in my flower tent but I will be moving to much colder climate from where I am now.
I was thinking this hood:

With the Horti bulb:

BTW- Thanks for responding and the useful info much appreciated.

He has the open bat wing and uses 8 tons of ac for em. Its about perfect because and ac won't run whole time the cooled hood could make it easier to run

DE bat wing using Gavita bulbs?
Or the std DE Gavita?
Jorge Cervantes was pitching Adjusta Wings back in 2012.
My homie is debating DE like Gavita or Nanolux or a 9 or 12 COB DIY rig. For a room slightly larger than Afghan King. Maybe 8 fixtures.

Std de gavitas
Ya he does the 14 in a 20'x20' space packed house would be 16 but has central air in there so takes up space. Amazing lights grow amazing weed just really hot. He's laid down some of the biggest numbers consistently too not like here or there since gavitas had 3 runs first 2.34lb a light 2nd 2.37 3rd 2.43 a light and this is his first run (4th run now) with a full house of heavy hitters. Running all pura vida, gg4, jillybean candy cut, mothers milk I won't be surprised with over 2.5 a light this run by any means prob more last time he did gg4 got 3.13 a light and last time with Jilly 3.02 a light so he should murder it

So much of it is environment I swear next is genetics then finally gardener/nutes. There's slight differences in what I use with canna already having microbials in their nutes. I think a big reason that what me and him do so well is making sure we keep our tupur inoculated at all times essentially. Better nutrient uptake from happy root zone = bigger flowers

Old house, old wiring, can't do a lot of mods. Gotta work with the drop you got.

And I normally do very well at 4 a light this time I did 5 a light and room is 12'x8' which at most would be 6000w seeing as these hoods put down a 4x4 lighting area and we used smart pots side by side in rooms of 180 plants......no difference and i bought the smart pots thinking there would be....but nope just an average plant not even the best of its strain in the rooms did 1 of each strain out of 20 in a room of 180 plants. None of them outperformed their plastic counterparts

I have this hood. It really works but does leak a little air on the inner panel. Duct tape from the inside worked for me. I was running it with the glass off too with a nanoluxde ballast and ushio bulb. It was a crazy expensive setup. I'm in the process of doing all nanoluxde open hoods in my room just need 2 more.
Afgan king your grow is sweet. Been lurking a bit read up on what you got going and it's impressive. I agree environment is about the biggest factor. Since sealing my room everyone just looks way happy. And I've seen 3 per de light. Here in cali in truckee people have set there sight on 4. Advanced nutrients has 5 videos from different growers who are pushing there rooms to the max in truckee.

AK, Do you buy your Tupur locally? I tried looking at their website for distributors in the sunshine state but cant seem to find any. Prob better in Co than over here. Also when you mention proper enviro are you specifically referring to proper day/night temp difference and humidity level?
