600 Watt 12/12 From Seed Lazy Susan

If its a fresh startup like this was ill use the MH until they're in flower, it usually ends up going perpetual for awhile one way or the other so plants end up starting directly under the HPS as well. I've grown strictly with a MH back when it was all I had at one point and it had acceptable results too.

Awesome. One other thing, I noticed they stretch alot for you. Have you noticed a decrease in yield by LSTing them?

I say this because I have about 35" of height, if I were to use a 600 or even a 400 for that matter, I'd only have about 27-30" from bulb to ground. Would this be a problem non heat wise?

Well theoretically you can run the MH longer and keep the stretch less or use a stretch inhibitor. Smaller containers will keep a shorter plant, I was using 1 gal pots before this with decent results. Lst shouldn't hurt your yield at all, if anything it increases it but it usually means longer veg times which we obviously don't have 12/12 from seed. So sure pulling the plants over to keep them off the light won't hurt a thing

Do you tie down your plants?

No I'm lazy, sometimes ill snap branches over if they're too close to the light or too high above the rest of the plants.

As if I don't update enough, here's a video for you!

What happens to the other 5.24oz's?

Lol I don't know. Someone growing with a cfl can ask what their yields gonna be and I'll always say a pound.

Is that accurate? Do you own a scale

I'm cornfused. I was just joking about the pound. I do own a scale. This is my first grow with the setup exactly as it is so ill be happy with whatever as long as its good quality.

Teehee. Yeah okay. Thumbs up*

That's crazy. I'm expecting a pound from my grow too.

The cool tube is killing me for coverage, I got zero dollars to change anything in the room till I get through a grow though.

How do you pay the electric bill with zero dollars?
