so how do you find the outside of the plants in a vertical cscrogg handle less light than their opposite side facing the light? do you ever rotate the vertical screen?

I don't rotate at all. I think doing that has the plant spend energy on moving towards the light and deciding where it wants to send enerygy... than just leaving it alone and sending all the energy to making buds. I don't notice there being larfy popcorn or anything behind the screen... the light penetrates through the whole 'canopy' so everything is nice and done.

In fact, that vert scrog grow with the Casey Jones. Because I had exposed the innards of the plant to all that light.... I had the dankest popcorn buds ever. Definitely not the most efficient way to grow (large vert scrog sheets), but was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about how these plants we like so much grow.

very cool mate good to know!! im leaving my lemon sweet haze untopped but the rest of my crop are bushes. i was told not to top it, i guess it yields better single cola, but it should make for a laughable canopy. 8 plants totally uniform and flat. and one sativa tower just fucking up the whole show. very interesting stuff

If you are going to use it for veg as well dual spec may be the way to go. If just flower, save a bit and go for strait HPS. That's what I say at least.

Iv heard some not so great things about the mixed spec bulds, lacking in both spectrums and they are expensive. Iv vegged plenty of times with just HPS no problem.

But honestly it doesnt seem to matter what brand bulb you get anymore, everyone has their favorite :-)

IPHONE/SMART PHONE USERS!!

Let's do a cool comparison of sorts ok? Open up your App Store and search for decibel meter. I'm on an iPhone and I loaded the first 4 free ones. They were all identical in their readings. Whether or not they are accurate DB readings isn't relevant if we're all using the same stuff. I can't speak for the android versions as I don't have one here right now to do it on as well and compare, but later I will.

To keep things similar, make sure you don't aim your microphone into an actual air stream as this also raises the level. I'm just looking for a general reading. Mine was taken in roughly the center of my room and although I moved it to within 2 feet of my fan, it didn't increase (again, not in the air flow)

My initial purpose is to see what other people are dealing with. Because I think my fan is too loud and want to get a baseline.

So if you want to join, please do! Also state whether you're using an android or iPhone device and also what type of exhaust you're running. Lets do this!

Ok I'm running a generic 6" fan and tested with an iPhone 5, my DB rating was from 80-82.

I got the app :-) I need to let my phone charge some more though. I'll get readings from inside an outside my boxes... Im using a 745 cfm fan lol I need a speed controller.

As with a lot of things in life though.. You get what you pay for.
Personally I'd rather pay more for something that lasts longer and produces better results than something cheaper that has to be replaced multiple times in the same period. Sometimes paying more now means paying less in the long run.

That said,,, I buy the upper end bulbs. Something as important as LIGHT with indoor growing I cant skimp on.

I just tried my youngest sons android phone, its pretty old and only 1 of the apps even worked on it, but his average was 10db lower than the iPhone

Any bulb, regardless of price should at least have a warranty of as long as you'd want to keep it anyway. My $40 bulb had a 1 year warranty, if I use it longer then that well that's my fault.

Using an iphone.
Outside the boxes with DH and a few other things running I got 60-61 db.
Inside the box with the A/C hood I got 65 db.
and inside the box with the vertical cooltube I got 70-71 db.

I think the system is running pretty quiet for having an 8" 745 cfm fan, big dehumidifier, AC (just the fan running for now), a small 4" fan pulling in cool air, and two more fans moving air around.
