You can't have let her get too tall because you can just bend her in half if you do it right, or just bend it over 90 degrees if you're more confortable with that.

Bigger yield than leaving it tall, you can drop the light and get a huge yield.

Yup, i tried this, and my plant started turning into a beautiful bush. It like stimulates it to grow outward instead of up.

anyways



. Finaly got the oppurtunity to take some pics. The cool tube fan is pushing air slower than what it should, but still the exaust air is always cool to the hand. Still working on the light profing, suggestions welcome.

in my opinion dont go nuts sealing out light . Flowers grow and bloom all around parking lots flooded with hids im not sure why we try so hard to keep light out as long as there is a pretty good seal you should be fine!

I know this might start a long run so like i said just my opinion

I hope to join this 150w HPS Club soon, fellow growers! I'll be using 4 of the $20 lights from www.e-conolight.com, growing 4 plants in a Sunleaves "Garden Of Ease" hydroponic kit with an airstone added. Any suggestions?

Well, after taking the glass off my 150 watt, I've noticed it's harder to work in the tent with that light on. It's definitely brighter. 47 days of flowering but there's no smell. I don't get it. They're early misty, crystally, buds are gettin' pretty fat, and still no smell. NONE. However, when you rub a leaf and break the triches, your fingers smell dank as fuck. Is this something anyone else has experienced. I only wish I got some seeds out of this grow if that's gonna be the case.

I keep a small fan on my 150 and my tent get's no more than 74 degrees. My light is 2 to 3 inches from the tops of the plants. I couldn't believe it. I would guess that a 150 naturally burns at about 100 to 110 degrees. That shit burns the skin, that's for sure.

I have the exact same thing going on. Plant smelled bomb in veg then went away when it started to flower. When I touch the nugs or and crystaled area my fingers smell like dank. Other wise its like a b.o smell..

These 150 HPS's are pretty sweet though. Doesnt make any noise, seems easy enough to make a remote ballast, and heat isnt bad at all. Im putting together a cool tube right now and I plan on purchasing 1 more 150w HPS when its ready. :joint:

I agree they don't put out much heat and I'm loving these 150's I have two now. But, your information isn't accurate there. A standard cfl runs anywhere from 175f to 200+ that's for 14w to 42w bulbs so this must be a bit more than that.

A little fan blowing on the bulb though and heat is insignificant. Great little lights....

SWP i get that all of the time, particularly in the 150w cab..It did cause me concern at first, but once i'd had a few harvests out of the cabs i figured it was to my advantage for strains to be low odor while they're in there, but still dank as fuck when theyre cut,dried n cured.
I am still getting a faint smell,but its nothing like the strength of a freshly rubbed leaf.
it'll soo stink up when its cut bro
