might have found something worth getting!

dual 400W MH PFO complete with mogoul sockets and two used bulbs (used system) no hoods. was used for salt water tank???? (I know nothing bout that though)

Might aircool, might not, winter is coming and this room has 3 single pain windows on all exposed sides that are huge....

Looks workable to me, back in the day everybody used aquarium lights to source HID's.

the post above is incorrect, the week two mark for veg is the 5th of Sept. so here is 1 1/2 week pics :) ..... everything cracked..... widow cindy are the stragglers..... everything else has surpassed my expectations so far as dealing with the lower than desired lumen output they are getting (according to my desires).

I wasn't able to go down and pick up the dual 400W MH set up... I really hope they are still available so I can pick them up of Friday.... if not I will find something else... until then..... they are being moved... transplanted when they reach 5 or 6 nodes and start really branching out.... couldn't be happier with how this is going so far.... ran a 60 amp 220v into the new veg area for the set up.... all I need is the lights, and a few hundred square feet of reflective lining.....

Remember they are in 4 rowes of 5 in each row A in Front E in back.... from left to right:

Twilight
Mauii Skunk
Widow Cindy
Chemo Cindy

Once the new veg area is set up I will add more plants and clones and start more seeds :)

there is a big circulating fan in there right on them..... strengthening the stems.... gunna start watering with a watering can so the water has more oxygen in it to beefen them up a bit more :).... they just started pulling nutes from the FFOF in those pots.... they will start growing fast! :)

uhhh...

Here is the best pic I could find of the panel.... when I made it I was actually going to put 3 split sockets as a row where the CFL's are, so there would be six CFL's instead of two in a line where you see each of the CFL split sockets... Im going to go ahead and "upgrade" it pretty soon.... as it is the middle 4 ft tube fluorescents just went out :(

Yeah I learned the fan trick myself, still yours seem especially developed for this stage.

I love how the plants take to the FFOF. You can just see their roots reach down and the results that follow! (Well, you can SEE the roots, but I sure PICTURE them)

Good stuff!

well.... I was hoping to time it so that right when they started pulling nutes from the soil, they would go under MH..... didn't work out...... would rather use three fans, two six inchers, and the big one I am already using :)

they are currently going through 2 cups of water every 2 days...... they need more light.... sigh..... I need to fix the damn panel, two more lights went out...... need to get the 400W MH set up ASAP..... all but one is doing well, has at least two leaf sets, the one that isn't started to pop, then just kind of stopped-WC.......... not giving up on it quite yet...... got the pool liner I needed :)...... this grow is all about small steps.....

Pics at 2 1/2 weeks veg. they are happy for the most part. gotta get a better light situation going by this weekend. They are starting to crowd! I got out the 400W MH ballast I have and did some sottering..... gotta get a bulb and see how it came out...... hoping well so I can get it turned on by this weekend and split the plants up..... only one of the seeds didn't fully sprout (a WC), Im scrapping it when I separate the plants up. Still haven' decided how I am going to do the division. I was really hoping to get the dual MH but it didn't work out :( ....... I would like to put ALL of them under MH but........ sigh...... we'll see. Two of the WC are runts, but I still expect great things from them, everything else is very very vigorous (in accordance with light distribution). They are Branching out 3-5 nodes on them, n some have more :), not stretching, some bent stalks, but thats ok :). They are on schedule :)..... I expect to know the sexes of them by this time next month :). Transplant next week sometime IF I get the MH set up as its supposed to be.

Oh yeah, got an old pool to cut up and use as a liner for the floor :)..... and the ebb & flo tables I want to make to flower in :)

The last two pics show the lines from left to right:

Twilight, Mauii Skunk, Widow Cindy, Chemo Cindy
