Gotta try these shoplights out myself sams is right down the street too only like 3 miles

t5s are nice but any electricity i can save would be nice

so glad temps are in the 80s finally and its october crazy weather this year but what can ya do

glad ive been able to keep flower room temps down past few months a lot of good to come im super excited

moneys been so tight and things troublesome glad to get such a nice harvest coming up soon sick of buying meds and still not always getting clean smoke seriously man clinics seem to sacrifice quality nowadays in my area

I hope you are kidding, because I don't feel very knowledgeable lmao

well ya sur gots me fooled partna.. sur..wish I had the skills you do.
added a lil color and ready for TAKE OFF!

@Dr.Amber Trichome

So is that setup basically dwc with a drip ring around it?

Just trying to put it together in my head haha

yeah but rigged dat OG way. you know waterfarms?,
same but a mini low rider here.with an overdose of OXYGEN.

I'm going to try some led supplemental lighting with my 600's maybe even more of the
shop lights from Sam's Club. Someone in the club was having good results with Purple
Sun led's I think they're 384 watt from Apollo.
@Dr.Amber Trichome, I like the supercharger on the dwc.

@oldman60 Yeah I was using the Purple Sun Apollo 384w along side my 600 before I replaced them both with my DIY cob light.

Just finished my last harvest with the 600w hps and 384w Apollo Purple Sun side by side in my closest.

I'm growing in a closet so it's a long and skinny space, so I have been growing with my 600w hps, only cover 4' x 2'. Since the closest is only 28" wide.

I added the Apollo Purple Sun 384w, 180w-190w actual draw, to cover more length, so I could basically cover 6' x 2', another 2' by 2' of space.

My last harvest was two clones side by side, both same time veg and same sized pots. One was more to the left under the Apollo Purple Sun, the other was more to the right under my 600w HPS.

The more more under the 384w, 180w to 190w actual draw, got me around 4oz, the one under the 600w got me around 5oz.

That is what convinced me to go further then my DIY veg lights and make a flowering light. I will be using half the wattage on my new light and expect a gpw on my first run. I'll be happy to pull an lb from 12 sq ft with only 400w of electric.

I hope no one has even been in a spot when they got that police knock at the door and tried to flush their weed down the toilet, lol.......finished off trimming last night, got up this morning to find a small bud attached to my sheepskin slipper, lol. By the time I had hauled it's ass out of the wool and inspected it, I thought, I ain't smoking that hairy shit, haha. Seriously it was the size of a 5 cent piece and like a little hairy albino monkey. Fukker just wouldn't flush down the toilet....4 flushes later it was stuck to the side of the toilet bowl so I picked it back out and wrapped it up in toilet roll then flushed.....yippeee, the dirty little fucker was gone, haha. I can't imagine having to flush moe than 0.1 grams though, lol.
Weight so far out of my 1.2m squared cab this run is 850 grams (670g from 2 dogs), 1 plemon plant left to fine trim. I got a couple of hundred grams out of my outdoor plemon (roflmfao - please do not compare that with any of those monsters you guys over the pond are growing).....which reminds me, Dr, 81 anbd Papapaynes hands must have fallen off by now? And lord help whodat.

I think the lord is helping whodat mate.

Sure is,,, could possibly land a lease for next year open to growing. That'd mean no more hiding in the woods and limited to 2 plants

I have three LED's and they are great for vegging, I notice that in my case the plants are smaller. Changed from 400 watt LED to 600 watt MH and increased size and final weight by .5 to 1 oz per plant.

I dont think mine changes. They charge me a flat rate for the first so many kwh then it'll increase a little. I just know gas goes up in the winter for heat, and electric goes up in the summer for A/C, actual charge I don't think they raise it.

My electric is pretty cheap. I was running all my old lights and i was using around 1000w total with veg and flower combined, and I figured it to come out to about 17$ a month to run them.

Last I looked they only charge about 8 cents per kwh.

why your inventory is being depleted......

Number of people smoking cannabis in the US 'more than doubles in 12 years' as study finds almost one in ten now use drug

The study shows the estimated prevalence of US adults who used marijuana in the past year more than doubled in the States between 2001 and 2013 to almost one in 10 (9.5 per cent).
