First Journal, Master Kush/LemonSkunk/TrainWreck PICS!

Thanks MG69.

The plugs haven't dried out, but I can't mist them at all from 9:00 - 6:30, maybe I'll have my room-mate or fiance do it when I can't. I'm pretty sure it's all 3 tops from each plant but I'd have to double-check. No roots yet, but they still have their vigor and green...except those three.

Eh, good thing there is a lot!

yeah the tops are hard to clone..just spray the fuck out of the dome each time you open it too..they look good, you sending the air out of the room or just letting it stay in there?

I always cut my clones off the top lol harder to root but when they do, whew look out they grow way faster then poorly lit unhealthy lower shoots IMO

About your bulb question a few posts back, I like the Hortilux or the Ushio Opti-Reds the best probably. Bulb is never an area I try to save 50 bucks...

Thanks SG15, they seem to be having a tough time but I'm sure they'll root. Just time. Oh I know as far as the bulb goes, I want to get something GOOD, not mediocre...regardless of price.

 

[MEANGREEN69]

i agree with someguy15, Ushio are good bulbs.

 

[machnak]

So between the two, Horilux Super HPS and Ushio, which would you pick. I'll pick majority of votes and get that. Here's the ANIS Codes for the two!


Ushio Sod 400W Super:

Hortilux Super HPS Enhanced Spectrum ( This isn't the one for this particular bulb, but the Horitlux EYE...all I can find.)
View attachment 1871577

The prices are:

Hortilux - $92.95
Ushio - $75.95

Lemme know!

If you are running 400's I would get a CMH bulb

 

[machnak]

Anyone in particular? Are you using any? How well did they yield?

 

[billcollector99]

I havent personally used one, as im running a 600 right now, but the 400 watt CMH's are pulling yields similar to a 600.

 

[machnak]

I'll look into them. Anyone else use them? I'd like some input.

Thanks BC.

I'd still like to try one of the others. But!!! Since I have two flowers rooms I'll just run a 12/12 flip-flop and use one CMH and whatever I decide as far as the Hortilux and Ushio.

I use them. Check this out. I love them DanielsGB, Cruzer101, Riddlem3, Illumination, Cowboylogic (RIP), many others as well...

I only have 100 watts CMH bulb, and a couple CFL's adding up to like 170 watts. I had 2 100 CMH bulbs but seen bleaching in my small space. A 400 has been compared to a 600 several times. Most growers say they produce much more resin, but are best used in an open face hood, no glass. Temps are less also.

Here is a link some users have posted of the best price for one. The HOR is horizontal, and the V is vertical.

Good luck buddy, and these are HPS retro-fit bulbs, meant for ANSI: M169/O S51/O

Cowboylogic (RIP)?

Thanks for the info dude, +rep. I'm torn on what to do haha, someone make my decision for me, lol.

 

[bekindbud]

Run both if you have the room and money....

I'm using a 250CMH. Make sure u get the philips alto brand if u do, the 4k color temp one. They have a horizontal and vertical type, so make sure u get the right one if u do decide it's best. Only things I would let you know about them...

1) Magnetic Ballasts only. Digitals almost never work with these unless explicitly stated by the manufacture.

2) Use a no glass, open hood configuration if you can. These bulbs emit UVB which is theorized to increase THC production via a UV protection mechanism.

3) 400 is as big as they go, no 6, no thousand... larger setups require more ballasts/bulbs for same wattage obviously.

here's a link to the HORizontal version http://www.lightingsupply.com/cdm400s51-hor-4k-alto.aspx

Thanks SG15.

BKB, I'm going to get a CMH and one of the other ones, I'll flower two of the same strain clones one under both and see how they do. Now to decide on the Hortilux or Ushio.

 

[bekindbud]

Hell yeah. I love seeing tests and experiments. Should be very interesting.

 

[machnak]

Indeed it shall!
