What do you 400watters think of those 400w CMH bulbs?! Its got everything from IR to UV and more lumens than a 400w HPS. A lot less heat too so im convinced on these and will be picking them up for my next op. just want to see what all of you thnk of them.

Unkle Sam: I have been thinking about getting one for my dual socket reflector. I can use it to augment the 600 HPS with some wider spectrum light. Everything I can find on them points to good. I have had excellent results with standard 400 watt bulbs, so the CMH seems like a sure thing.

really? so having my caninet go up to 90 is going to kill them all over time ?

does anyone have any tips on starting the flower cycle as far as lights go? I heard some people go 24 hours of darkness then switch to 12 and 12??? and thoughts on that?

90 isnt going to kill them...but it will hinder overall growth....:leaf:

No you'll be fine. I've watched grows on here that had temps in the 100s and successfully grew bud without dying. Just have enough free flowing air in the cab and you'll be good.

As for that some people do it some don't. It also depends on how long you have vegged for. If your plants are showing preflowers I wouldn't even waste the 36hrs in the dark and just flip 'em 12/12. If the plant isn't showing preflowers thats when I would put it in complete darkness right before flower. It doesn't effect yeild or anything its just a personal choice. Do what feels right for you bro.

Now you see it.......





Now you don't.......

Ya i mean I vegged with my super hortilux hps
and they seemed to veg pretty well, but I was just wondering if you guys had any advice on possibly better lamps if there are any better. Would it be in my best interest to veg with a hortilux blue instead, or an ushio blue, or some other MH instead of HPS? Or is a hortilux super hps just fine.




some days later with the lights off

Hey I just got a 400w HID. It's a dual ballast for MH/HPS. I have a question though. I didn't buy the hood fan for the unit, do I really need it?

Hello again 400 watt club.

Here is my Blue Hash plant at 31 days of flowering. Pic turned out kind of shitty, but its the only one I took that day.

I really hope this thing fattens up before she finishes.

:bigjoint:thanks lonley. i will check it out. i got purple maxx already, jus undecided about bushmaster or gravity. jus fed um today the combo of bio-bloom an top-maxx (10 ml each). i wanna get the bushmaster cuz i wanna see if that packs on some weight for the babies. but the mollasses alone with the early fish mix has fattened um up real nicely. but definitely give bio-bizz line a lookin at. i like humbolt for the additives cuz those guys out there really must know wut there doin. it comes from the emerald triangle, plus ive seen journals with guys who have used it on 1 plant and not the other an there is a big difference in size alone. oh i just planted 3 dieselryder fems and 2 more fem hindu's. makes 24 fems under 1200 watts now. since i planted 5 more 2 gallon pots in the tents. i got two more 600 watt cool tubes from the hydro store today, didnt want to wait on htgsupply this time cuz its the end of the week an i needed the extra 200 per tent now since i have 24 fems sog style in each tent!!! enjow, jus foiled the biggins with purp maxx today as well. light sprinkle. stopping at week six. jus adding to water after then gravity.
