Club 600

Mine came with a setup I bought off Craigslist. I paid $100 for a ballast, bulb and that hood :bigjoint:. Global greenhouse ballast and Sunleaves bulb. He claimed he only used it for a few days before getting shut down by his LL and I was skeptical until I saw that the bulb showed no signs if use. There was no blackening anywhere on it and the other two I have been running for only a few months now both have some blackening on them. The ballast and hood both looked new too. No scratches or anything, just a little duct tape residue on the flanges.

I think I just may have come up on that one, hehe.

I'm considering just getting 2 more of those given the price point.

anybody do any single veritcal grows with 1 dual spec 600
I've been wanting to try out one of those bulbs but haven't bought one yet. I'm running a single 1000 in a vert right now though and was thinking about getting one of those dual arc bulbs in a 1K for that setup. Not set on it though as I really like the 600s better so far.

I've got that Global Greenhouse digi, two no name China digi 600 ballasts, a Harvest Pro 1000w switchable magnetic and an Agro Star 1000w HPS magnetic right now. All running except for one Chinese digi that's boxed up waiting to be shipped to someone special. :oops:
If they decide they still want it that is.

J/K you know who...

I wouldn't say vertical increases the per plant yield (at least not for me, yet) but it allows you to grow more plants with the same light since you can use all sides of the light. Instead of 9 sq ft (3x3) you can have upwards of about 48 sq ft (4 walls at 3x4) and use the same 600W bulb to grow them.

That was the appeal for me anyway.

I'm lighting up a 5Wx5Dx7H room right now with a single 1000w bulb. I don't have anything up near the ceiling but still That single bulb is giving pretty even light all around the room and from about 1' off the floor to about the 5' high mark when the cooltube is all the way down. My cooltube slides so I can move it up and down to wherever I want it. From it's lowest point that gives solid light right down to the floor I can raise it 24" which is more than enough to light up plants that are at ceiling height..

Thanx everyone so much, I think it is almost unanimous that the 600 is better. Although I did ask on the 600 thread...lol. I have seen all your bud porn and respect your opinions very much. I will keep the 600, and upgrade the hood to that radiant one in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

All I have to decide now is which nutrients to buy. I am looking at the G H Flora 3 part and the Advanced Nutrients 3 part.

seen a couple grows with just the bare bulb hanging dude has to pull light up to water in soil that would seem to be the only draw back but he only waters tops twice a week i got a 600 in a 4x4 area but i use less than half and just space them right under the lamp so that al the buds get hit with the light ima go take a pic be back in a jiffy

nice grow, my sour og didnt sprout...
Thanks.

Sorry to hear it didn't sprout, I can honestly say you are missing out... It was very easy to grow, the smell is easily recognizable from the last time I smoked Sour OG. I topped it and cloned the top but I gave it to my friend who gave me the seed. He's been vegging her this whole time and I'm planning to go take some clippings from it early next week and try cloning her again. I don't expect more than 10 grams dry with this harvest since I did not veg her long and only kept her in a 2 gallon smart pot. I'm hoping to veg my next one for closer to 10 weeks and in a 3 gallon smart pot :leaf:

I would, I'm dropping my Jack Herer strain (from a Jack Herer nugget) to replace it with this strain for a while :D I think it's a keeper

Hey Baja, do you like your Smart Pots? I just bought 9 of the 3 gallon ones for my tent. I'm anxiously awaiting them in the mail... :peace:

i think i just popped a jack herer cross.
I have another strain we call EDAWG that distinctly has Jack Herer in it but no idea what else it was crossed with. All were bag seed from my favorite dispensary. I'm slowly dropping strains and keeping the one's I like. So far I have Sharksbreath, Pineapple Express, Bubba Kush Pre 98 and this Sour OG that I plan to keep around for a while. I have a few others I'm trying out to see if they're worth keeping :leaf:

So far I like them but as far as a full cycle I won't know until next month when my Pineapple Express, Jack Herer and Sharksbreath come down, they were all vegged for just over 9 weeks so I'm hoping for some nice results. I plan to keep using them because the plants seem to like them so far

Do you know the difference between Bubba Kush and Pre 98 Bubba Kush?
