I haven't run the 400 for a while, it's actually overkill in the space I have but that's another story. The 8 inch cools them all if the temp coming in is cold enough, but when it's summer and the o/d temp is 20+ I am basically colling it with hot air, lol. I'll probably fire it up over winter to keep temps up.

oh, and I am running the lights with just a 2 hour break on on them. So not a massive reduction in overall time (but no difference in yield!)

Here's a shot of last years unknown bagseed, because... Why not? 5 100w equiv. cfl's. Thinking of snappin' pics under the 6 this weekend. So until then...

that's the attitude, don't be shy!.

looks like you got that seed out of a nice bag of smoke, done well under cfl.

Thanks! She vegged outdoors for a month before we put her inside. Fought off a round of spidermites early in flower, but they were exterminated and her foxtailing ass finished nicely.

What do you mean by a 2 hour break? Run each one for 10 hours on an offset schedule so both lights are only on at the same time for the middle 8?

I have a question about the coverage of a 600w hps. I have a line of 5 600w lights with Silver Star air cooled hoods, they are over a 20ft long x 4ft wide screen. So each light is covering a 4x4 section of screen, just under 40w per square ft. Each light has 4 plants under it. Is the 600w going to do a good job for this? Thank you

That's going to be a massive fucking bed of buds...

I was looking at some of my old pics yesterday and I was jealous of myself back then, LOL. There were multiple 40"x40" beds of buds in my room back then between my tents and my open grows and there was a 4x8 scrog (but it didn't ever fill in like I'd hoped). I'm wishing I could do that again. Just so I can tend to the fields of green and purple.

And then there were these girls after I shrunk the 4x8 down to 4x6 with the 1K on a mover:

i found that when i had a 400mh it blasted out nearly twice the heat that the 600w hps did, i'm sure dst has mentioned this in the past, worth noting

Same with me. My 400 MH is WAY hotter than my 600 watt HPS.
My 12 bulb T5 (636 watts) is slightly cooler than my 600 watt HPS.

Ideally, I would have said 3x3 (or 1metre squared) for each 600. But I think it'll work out fine all the same. You may find your plants leaning into the middle. Good luck with it.

Peace, DST
