Ahhh, what happened? She looked amazing just a few weeks ago. Time for a soil analysis I guess.
Shitty soil, hole too small, and its kind of on a hill so the water didnt get a good seat. I bumped up the nutes when she started to yellow, but the damage was done. U can see the flowering growth is green again. I'll be in a pot with her next year, 80 gal.

Short version, lazy efforts= crappy rewards :)

a 400 isnt worth the wattage in my opinion. just becuz ive vegged under it all and notice the difference in growth. flowered under them also and the bigger the bulb the bigger the budskies. :fire: now i use 1000 all the way around. but i really dig the 600 becuz its the most cost effective. power to penetration ratio. but flowering is still the all mighty powerful 1000 just becuz its more or less my personal growing style. fuck dude my bad im ranting. this cheese got me stoned as hell. lol. altho im really starting to dig the outdoor aspect of everything. its nice and peaceful and cheap. lol. but back to the point at hand i believe the 600 is worth the extra power and bulb cost.
Have you used a 1500w to Flower? I've heard good things

1500w light,,, thats like smashing an ant with a sledge hammer... Completely unnecessary.


Im with bill, she'll pull through for ya! "I" would top dress with chicken manure. I can get these 1.5cu bags for 5bucks and a little goes a LONG way.
Have you tried a foliar feeding of N?

I think if it's air cooled, or you're running an AC and you got the bulb close enough... I think it'd be better.It's in flower isn't it? So you should be looking at Bloom feed. Some N... But mostly PK

Id put my 600 nugs up against any 1k or more any day... It just seems wasteful,,, like driving a hummer to the corner store. And yes his plant is in bloom, but looks to me like its lacking N mainly over anything else,,, chicken manure IMO would be great for this... generally 6-4-2 or there abouts.


Not trying to tell ya what to do chaka,,, just speaking my mind and explaining why.


:peace:

Ok, whats your cooling set-up? Nice work. You have to admit though (right?) you didnt do that well just because you had a 1500w light,,, could you pull those same numbers with a 600? prob so. << (gpw)

What hood do you use? And whats your footprint/distance away from the bulb?

Thanks Man I haven't Shared on this site since.... Well... A long time Lol.

My room is sealed running a air-cooled blockbuster reflector.*The light is cooled with a 8" max fan. I think it's 745cfm? Not quite sure on that

Ive got the ac which is a 12,000 btu mini split but let me just say(Haha) since summer Hit I wish I had gotten the 18,000 btu.

I have Co2 enriched via tank through a cap ppm4 which keeps me up above 1000-1500 I believe?

The Distance is 12"(anything lower and I've seen bleaching)so from the canopy to the Bulb is a Foot and I get around 10sqft with that. Which is why I didn't want to push my luck with 10 Plants.

But no I'm not hating on 600s, no way.. But I know I could never get over 3lbs off of 9 plants with just one 600.... If I could... I would have thrown that out in feburary Lol!

I hope to do this next round with 2-600s,,, 1.5 each, in soil to boot and no augmented co2. I think its possible.

You can do it, I've pulled 2.4 off 2 600's in sunshine mix without co2. but I did just seal everything off so I can start enriching my air again :D I wouldn't mind playing with a 1500w though, I have a nice 5x9 spot for it if it can replace 2 1kw light's.

A mover would make this happen.

Movers are great. I like the light above them constanly though, I FEEL if you keep the light still over x plants. You'd get the same yield from moving light over x + y plants. = same yield.

I know that's not how it works... But it's how I feel about my plants lol

and see. thats why im not gonna run a 1500 watt bulb. lmao. i just installed a 24000 btu minisplit and it keeps my room at a nice 73 degrees. also im running 4 1000 watt lights. in a sealed room. no heat problems. id need 2 bulbs just to light half of my tent. an extra 2000 watts worth of bulb heat isnt even an option id consider. im not trying to cool my area with a 32000 btu.
