I'd try and center the 600 filament more over the center of the plants than the tube itself. You can also build a type of standoff to put the bulb further into the tube. Last and not least would be to get a new/used hood. I found the spread is much better with a regular hood. Looks all good though!
What do you mean a standoff? Like a chunk of 2x4 between the socket and the bracket holding the socket?Just to throw out my unwanted advice
yeah I thought it was burn but a little fish fert (Alaska brand I think) at 1/4 strength perked 'em right back to green. That's one of my big concerns trying to scrog 6 plants though, what if I got problems with one and it needs to be flushed? I guess I cross that bridge when I get there, I already have some ideas though. The mix was a bit hot, and I suppose that's my fault, I left them completely unattended for about 2 weeks right after transplanting from party cups to 5 gallon buckets. The vacation was worth it though!
I've seen it with wood and it worked. But I'd not recommend it. Preferably something more flame resistant! Like some tube steel with longer screws to space it out or get crafty.
hmmm. maybe a couple of steel "L" brackets bolted together real nice....you got me thinkin!
I can make an extra....what strain? grouch, tom or ww?
I've seen a lot of freeers turned upright and repurposed into grow rooms. The freezer door is heat and air sealed and the unit is insulated with foam board. makes a pretty bad=ass grow tent and you can find free junk freezers for removal all over the place. try criagslist, they usually have stuff like that
He runs the entire bottom in dwc, partitioned with drain spouts for each of 3 sections. The lights/cool tubes are set into the lid about an inch and the ballasts are on the back side. He screens it in 1x1 netting a little above 12 inches... He told me that the freezer mostly keeps the resivoir cool not the room or lights
I'll have some Tom for you... Only one other person in alaska has this f1, I'll pm u when its rooted, or if u want I have some seeds I could spare of the same f1
Kindly disregard....RIU says seed swapping is a no-no

Looking good. Just keep tucking those tops, maybe defoliate the lower leaves. Since they can't receive as much light, they are leeching the plant for nutrients. They are strating to get a bit tall, too, but looking good, none the less
Day 10 of flowering... Screen is filling up real quick, Next time more veg time less plants! They're looking pretty good, but that hps does 'em no justice, even with the flash to the camera on... Maybe I'll try to snap a pic when the lights go off... Tight, dark green colas littered with pistils are forming real nice all across my screen. So far this has been a definite learning experience!
