Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

[stelthy]

looks pretty bitchin! those tomato stems are going to be tough to bend with out snapping. ive noticed in my summer garden that they tend to break quite easily, but the smaller ones may be more manueverable. still some time before that gws catches up to the screen. are you running the 250w right now?

The top smaller 'new growth' is pretty easy to bend the lower half (all thats beneath the screen) is just there for a sturdy base really and to promote bigger Tomatoes higher up - As and when the times right. Yeah it'll be a few weeks yet until GWS nears the screen but when she does that light WILL be going up Yeah man thats the 250W grow underway! 250W MH Veg then 250W HPS flower, then Harvest then I'll start the 400W grow etc etc - STELTHY

Hey I represent this remark!! I've now got my priorities straight and am finally growing right!

I don't think I've seen any work that is more "clean" than Stelthy (Daniels comes in a close second). Check out Stelthy's previous grow! I remember seeing that first cab and the first words out of my mouth was "Holy Shit"!

Here's a LINK to my previous thread https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/281701-2x-90-watt-ufos-1x.html

Cheers mate, I do my best to keep the 'work' area tidy and hygenic, Yeah Daniels is great too NB/ Glad you liked my 1st cab.....I miss that little unit we had some fun times - STELTHY

I'd say GWS has 10" more to grow in height before I can raise my reflector....I hope she grow's fast and well - STELTHY

You would think that by being married and having a kid u would be a bit more responsible .... but in this case i see the exact opposite..... maybe im just crazy but i know i wouldnt be taking my families furntiure apart and grow in there residence for what a quarter pound of weed and the potential of them having legal problem for " ur hobbie"

All im saying is go ahead and GROW but dont involve them and when u do it make it worth ur while.. this is just plain stupid

You sir, are an idiot.
Firstly, perhaps his wife wants some cheap bud too, secondly, from the battered car, the colour of the sunlight, and his mates clothes, I would say he is in the UK, where a small grow will get you nothing but a slap on the wrist, so quite clearly, the risks are worth his while for such a small grow. and are you implying that 'growing up' means stop toking??

Yeah that guy was an A-Hole My Mrs is fine with my project so long as I dont get to ambishious? with too many plants 1 or 2 are fine Obviously no one wants to get busted but like I heard yesterday: Life is like a game of cards....You either play it safe or risk it all and whats life without a few risks? !!

I honestly love the science and biology of my project as much as the smoke its self..Infact I grow other stuff for fun and because I enjoy learning new tricks and plants have my attention at the moment

I put up with that 'Lifesgood' and his crap comments for to long I'am just glad he left my thread, and let me get on..As you can probably tell I've come along way since his comments.

Hope you enjoy the read - STELTHY

Thanks Stealthy. Building these chambers is close to as fun for me as growing in them. You pointed me towards the UV-B, for a new experiment.

Thats cool man.. I looked in on your thread about 45mins ago I plan to use 'Exo-Terra' as well I like what you've done so far! was the 2.0UV a lot brighter than Metal Halide? I am going to buy some Oakley UV protective sun glasses for viewing my unit, HID lighting expecially MH and I am guessing UV punishes your retners some what, (Its also an excuse to buy some new Sun-Glasses) there maybe better ones out there but I've always liked Oakley products

Whats you next step going to be?? - STELTHY

Not nearly as bright as a MH. Runs real cool too. Not good to stare at, but not that big of a deal. Like you say, good excuse though.
I'll warn you, I just halted it after seeing a 'sunburn' coming. 9" to 10" away was too intense. Check my thread again to see a pic showing. My CMH is good for it's own UV-B, so truely they are the way to go.
Next step is re-trying with a lower canopy.

Too bad about the sunburn I saw the cola's How far away do you plan to keep the UV-B next time around and will you run it for as long next time? I wish you good luck man! - STELTHY

I've been wearing long sleeve shirts and wearing sunglasses in front of my 400w CMH. Last night while setting up my new netpots I could start to feel the tingling on my hands you get when you start to get a sunburn. I also found that I start to become a bit nauseous if I stand too long in front of the cabinet.

After a while of working with the bulb, the rest of the world seems a bit yellow to me.

Yeah man.... I know what you mean.. The ulta bright light makes me feel dizzy after working under/by it after about 20 mins, I think I ll take leaf out of your book and wear long sleeves I have some medical grade silicone gloves but will look into UV protective gloves.

I could end up looking like an alien snowman with a complete government radiation suit, just to do my gardening lol

Seriously though protective clothing is the way forward - STELTHY

awesome job man...lots of hours in that cab...and it shows +rep

Those Colas are thickening up real well this time. It was 9" to 10" away this time, so I'll go for 12" to 14" next time. 15 minutes is the shortest time span for a timer I have, but 10 may have been better.
You saw I did a ton of research on UV-B & Infrared light spectrum. I'm thinking if you use a CMH (less so but MH too) without glass to absorb the UV-B for flowering these added UV-B is unnecessary. If you use HPS (more so Cfl) this is worthwhile. Hope to see yours exploding up soon.

My Great White Shark is still growing at a good steady pace - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

She has just grown her 1st 3 sets of leaves at the moment and she stands at 8" tall - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I ve been helping my mate through his 1st Harvest I'll post 1 pic since it was grown in my old cab that has been pictured in previous pages of this thread, its not a bad 1st attempt, its currently hanging in the cab in the dark, the stems have been cut and its in the early stages of drying I'll be interested to hear how much dry weight he gets from that one little lady.... Anyway.... - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My Strawberry Thai has grown a bit more, I have continued to LST her for now.. just until GWS catches up, it shouldn't be too long now I still have the problem of yellowing leaves though... It can be overwatering, because I've kept a steady eye on the ammount she's been given.. and its not O.D-ing on nuits because I am undercutting the dosage by half? Confused... Hmm?? I'll have another look in my Jorge Cervantes Grow Bible n see if I can find the answer & solution, other than that she's growing well - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My next pics I upload should look pretty nice, Thanks to my lovely wife who got me a 14 mega pixel Digital Camera for Christmas I wont waste any time putting it to good use and will upload my next updates with pride - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My Tomato plants are growing fast I had to move up my reflector a couple of inches cos despite the glass being cool enough for all my plants to touch there was just far to much vegetation and the lights coverage was starting to be effected - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I am in 2 minds whether or not to allow the Tomatoes to start developing Tomatoes, or whether to grow them up taller for a few more weeks?!! - STELTHY
