i think you will be fine, i posted earlier saying that the plants you found mould on will be most likely to continue to have problems so keep a close eye on them. with regards to theft i'm pretty sure you will be ok, it would take a pretty desperate person to try and tresspass on your property to steal a few plants, especially if you have taken visible measure to deter them.

good luck
someone had tried to steal before, as I would leave my shed doors open while I was gone. My daughter was home alone and thought they were gonna break in the house. They knocked over the bbq and then ran off.
Anyway I have neighbors all around me back sides and front keeping an eye out for me too now. I would hate to be the person I catch stealing or trying to....lol

The humidity went from 34% to 49% while I was gone and the doors shut for20 minutes.
I need to add an actual inline exhaust fan so The doors can be shut without it skyrocketing.

I have the plants that had mold b4 with lots of wind on them all the time now, I mean like a typhoon!!

Does anyone know if 3 speed fans use the same energy on all speeds? I dont white understand the 3 phase motor thing.......researching=me

i would have thought it is drawing more the higher the speed, i could be wrong but logic tells me i'm right

for speed controllers for inline fans it varies the phase. in US we use 50/60 hz, if you adjust the frequency of oscillation up or down from there you slow or speed up the fan as I understand it. I assume it is still the same amperage going through it still, but could be wrong.

I just wanna know if high uses the same power, then I will just use high all the time.
I need a KILL-A-WATT meter, I could measure everything in my whole house with it

I picked up just about everything I'll need for my RDWC setup today so I'll be putting that together a little at a time over th next few days. My 1000w ballast is supposed to see my hands tomorrow too. I told him that if he flakes again I will come over the next time I think he's home and get a full refund, one way or another ;)
I really wanted to either get some of those square buckets or put 3 plants per tote and run the same totes as Whodat. I wasn't sure if I'll have root issues running 3 in a single tote and can't find the square buckets at a reasonable price so I'm going with the round 5gal buckets with the 6" basket lids. I got the fittings, gromets, lids, hose and a new pump today and already have a bunch of Lowe's buckets so all I need now is an air pump I think.

Ok i have a question for fellow 600w 'ers. I have a tent that's 1.2m wide, 1.2m deep & 2m tall. Am I getting anywhere near the full potential of the tent by having a single 600w hps or would i be better off with either: 1x 1000w or 2x 600w or 2x 400w?
My thinking is 1000w is probably too much. 2 600's would be more even light distribution but probably too hot and a bit of overkill. Maybe 2 400's would be better light distribution though? One more possibility, would it be silly to have a 600 on one side and a 400 next to it?

I am thinking about the same thing really, and am leaning toward 2 600 hps or a 600 hps and a 400 mh just because thats what I have already...lol

**EDIT** Is this too much light, I highly doubt it...too much heat, Ill find out by trying it out without plants and see how temps go.

mr nice is a seedbank man, maybe you got the breeder and strain names mixed up.

either that or there really is a strain called mr nice, but i've not heard of it, if you have purple flowers and not leaves thaty is quite special, see highlanders cave, he's the man in the know with purple flowers
They actually have a strain here in Cali called Mr Nice, some say that the Mr Nice is the new name for Green Crack because some people thought GC was too offensive. Either way if you have some cuts I dont doubt that it will be some Fire Bassman :)

OK you herb growers, who among us actually grows herbs indoors? I have a few baiscs, parsley and basil and some tarragon. Does anyone know if any of these things act like a companion plant to mj and any tips for indoor herb gardening would be appreciated. I'm going to use my tent and my t-5 until my colombian gold clones arrive and move in. After that I'll either hope for the best in the tent or put them under the hps's perimeter.
It depends how you look at it... do you want to add herbs to smoke or add herbs to eat?? Sage is good with pot ie Sage and Onion Stuffing with Cannabis, Garlic Kieves with Cannabis .... again ... tastes great :) .... White fish with Parsley and Cannabis :) ....and a few varieties of the 'mint' family are good to smoke in conjunction with Cannabis .. ie/ "Catnip" lol sounds funny ... but it ll Fuck you up :) - STELTHY :leaf:

DEZ make sure you get a air pump with adaquate output, more is better in this case...

pandan, im running 2 600s in a 4x4 n i think its tits!!! have to say tho im in a cool climate so the heat hasnt been a problem. overkill...not...

4tatude u havent had a problem with the exhaust fan sitting on top of the tent like that...weight issue I mean.
Thanx for the pics, makes it clear what it will look like.
How much air do those clip on fans produce? All I have is big fans and a tower fan right now

Oh like how you fastened the lights together too btw!

It might be the same cut as green crack...interesting. A friend of mine was by earlier and said his friend grew some too and it looked and smelled just like mine. He said the smell was awesome and the taste kinda weird....lol
I still just hope it tastes like it smells!!!

no it really isnt that much weight really, its a 6''vortex n just sets on top. early on i had it inside but the bastard fell n so i came up with a fool proof way of installing lol.
weight issues lol i think im maxed out, ive got a 6''vortex,2 6''radiant hoods, n a 6''phat filter all hung from the tent frame. i did support the hoods from each corner using motorcycle tie downs tho. the corners are the strongest points.the light angle iron i used to bolt the hoods togeather is sweet.
the clip ons dont produce too much but they circulate the air real good imo

Hi all you 600w lovers. I am fairly new to my 600, and had some fun times with my 400, and also had some fun times on the 400watt club thread. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/61539-400w-club-show-off-your-246.html

So here is one for anyone with a 600watt (or there or there abouts.) Feel free to posts your pics of your set up, your girls, your seeds, your harvest, your suggestions.

This thread is for lovers of peace and weed, so no fighting please, unless it's organised, in a ring, and you have a ref!!!

So, funnily enough I have 600 watt HPS in a cool tube, with 125cm/6' ruck inline fan for cooling purposes, I have an inline fan (god knows the cfm) but it's a 20 watt pulling air in from outside. Temps range between 20-26c, and humidity sits around 55-60. I have a space of around 120cmX140cm (height around 2.6m.) I have set up my girls on steps, and have my 600 vertical in the middle, Trying for an arena type grow. I also have a few girls up in the stalls as an experiment (pics below).

For the ladies we have some Headband, OG Kush, Cali Orange, 2 mystery clones - will reveal later - there is a comp in my grow journal)
And waiting to pop we have a BlackJack, a NewYork47, and some Mango's. It's all in veg time at the moment due to previous clone wars (that I lost.)

So come on peeps, show of your skills!!.

Peace, DST

disclaimer - I searched but could not find a 600 club, but if anyone knows of one, I am happy to hear about it.
It just means 600W?!?!?! That's EXACTLY how many watts I've got goin.
