Club 600

i was wondering if anyone had used a dual arc bulb before and what the
response was like. I have a 600watt electronic ballast with a cool tube
reflector and an agro sun 600 watt dual arc bulb 1 MH arc producing light
at 6200K and another HPS arc producing 3200K The combined lumen output
is around 68,000 I want to use this in a grow area of about 4'x4'.

Any comments or info or suggestions will be appreciated.
This is only my second post and I'm kind of new to posting on threads.

Thanks,

PDU

Looks like I'm joining the club.

I just upgraded my array of 4x400W HPS's to 4x600W HPS's. I hope it's gonna be worth all the money I just spent. I'll know in about 3 months.

till then.

I hope they work out as well for you as they did for me. Running my 400w I would get about 10oz, when I switched to 600w, that jumped up to 16oz per light and I only finished one run with them so far. Have a feeling I can get those numbers to go up. So it was worth it for me.

Today i had the cable guy come over because my internet wasnt working and he asked to go into my basement. Now normally i wouldnt have a problem with this but my grow space is very well exposed right when you come down the stairs and i didnt want him to see that. So i had to tell him no and he seemed like a cool guy But it still made me nervous

SO I got a little update for you guys....Day 54 of flowering. Two OG Kuch under a 600 watt hps with digital ballast. Tell me what you guys think. The cola on the little one is 14 inches long and 7 inches around. I dont know how much they will yeild but we will find out soon. The big one has a cola that is 13 inches long and 6 inches around.....wierd. However all the side buds are looking pretty fat too. They are both super cropped. I know this might be a bad idea but I dont really have a choice at the moment with them I have to hold the colas up with string hahhahahaha all the branches are sagging with all the weight. I was thinking (wishing I guess haha) that I will get a ounce or two off each plant. I know they will lose a lot of weight when they dry right....

So this is my WW that I got from Nirvana. I topped it at the 4th or 5th node (sorry I dont remember right now) you can see the two colas very well and they are filling quite nicely. The leaves are already completely covered in frost. AND I MEAN COVERED. When I get my new camera in a few days I will post the close ups, but you better have the sunglasses by the computer for the BLIIIIING!!!!! hahahaha I already know that this plant will yeild more than the OG will. And it will be under the 600 watt all by itself for the duration of its life. So maybe it will just be a massive assive honey will fatty nugs......Let me know what you guys think.....

Hope everyone is doing good. It has been awhile since i posted due to heavy family issues. But here are some pics of my new ladies. They are a little over a month old. I have one Choc tai, TSH, G13, and a crimea Blue. They are growing in Fox Farm, under cfl for now. Plan to clone, never done this before though. SO that I guess makes these my mothers.This is my second grow. So we will see what happens.

Sorry MasonMan, I don't know anything about hemp.

I need a little help with checking trics....I'm on my last week of flowering and I'm just a little confused on what they should look like. Should the tric be amber or just the base??? I have some amber trics but are only the base with a clear head.....I read that this may be because it's a hybrid.....any thoughts??

For me, when I see amber in the trich at all.... that's an amber trich. I've had all different looking ones on different strains. One grow only the center of the 'stem' of the trich turned amber... so like the inside of the bottom or whatever. Others only the bulb at the end has turned amber. Another grow only the very tips were amber, like only the very surface, like a sunburn. So if you want to be like me... count any amber in a trich as a completely amber trich.

Then you go by percent of the trichs that are amber to tell when to chop. The picture west posted explained that bit well.

I use a dual arc bulb and I like it a lot. Haven't done any side by side comparisons or anything like that.... but I like the light it gives off and think I'll only get dual arc bulbs in the future.

Props to the orangemen. I think they will edge Germany for the cup.

Those nugs are getting nice and fat bro. Isnt it always exciting when they're getting to the end. Its always a good thing when they get fat enough to start the lean. Keep up the good work, looks like you're going to have some pretty nice smoke in a little.

Way to throw that bud porn yall. My ladies are packing on the buds. Ill get a few pics up in a bit. Happy 4th to all Peace 1bmm

If im not mistaken Integra uses these bulbs with great success. I might be wrong about that, but if that is the bulb he uses you should def go with it. Shit my next grow I might switch all of my bulbs to the kind he has!

Just a 600- for the 600
I know I know the leaves are yellowing. Im working on that

I used a 430w Philips SonAgro single filament bulb on my first white widow grow, but them Upgraded to Dual 600w Ushio OptiReds in SuperSunII refectors. I did really like how frosted up the buse got under the agro bulb. I am hoping on the next run to buy a sunpulse 10000K bulb that you are supposed to get incredible trich growth from in the last few weeks of flower.

Hahaha. Yes I am getting soooooo excited. I kinda already cheated....I pulled a branch like three days ago and dried it out to try. Omg I got hella blew back from it. I think it'll be stronger when I let it cure right. However the branch I pulled didn't have a heavy weed smell. It smelled like hay and melons. Will it curing in the jars give it the right smell??

They usually smell like hay when they are harvested premature

Thank will I was hoping that was what it was. Hey does anyone know how long I can store my trim for and what's best to store it in. I don't have the funds to get any hash bags right now. But they gotta be chopped in like 5 days
