i like your setup, but honestly your wasting your time on apache lights. the buds look nice for sure, but your resin production is less the the indagro. i grew some dutch passion snow bud and shaman with Hygrogrowleds and the quality was phenomenal. my buds were only 1 month in flower and they were bigger then yours are at almost harvest. and i want you to know i am in now way dissing you bro, but everyone needs to stop wasting hard earned money on crappy leds. im not a spokes person for hydro grow im just telling the good truth about good leds. you have good potential dont limit that with bad instruments.

happy growing peace and love.

The hps(big lemons) are in jars/my bowl already. Once this side(led) finishes up I will do the whole room on the same schedule/start time.

Dank! Great job Tags!

Love the popcorn nuggets on the Ace, mmm small nuggets of heavenly juice!


How to do manage to keep the AT in that angle, do they just stay in that position or are there different attachment holes for the carbine hooks ?

Brother tags, what are your thoughts on the apache tubes for veg? I'm looking for some veg only lights ave thinking about giving them a whirl. How many would I need for about 4 babies?

Whenever I get the 660 I will get a 6 ATtube fixture to see for myself. But based on the numbers, if people are happy with T5's(I always have been), they be happy with these too.


These pics are not mine but a guy who got 4 right away. He has 3 hydrotubs for veg, 2 hydrotubs under T5's(4bulbs,231w) and 1 hydrotub under ATtubes(4tubes,78w). Those are the wattages he measured with a watt meter.

ATtubes left, T5's right.

These are the same 19 days later. T5 have a little more growth but considering that they use 153w more(231w vs 78w), I think the difference is acceptable. The tubes are ridiculously cool too, and it's a very noticeable difference between the tubes and T5 temps.

Professor greengenes is my mentor/old school role model. He knows a lot of people in the growing community, specially up here.

But I don't know Mr. greengenes though.

Glad you like what you see. I watch your IG grows too.


PUFF...I would say 2-3 based on how much/big/fast you are trying to veg. Will the tubes be the only veg light or will you move up to the sgs when ready?

Man when I think Im done wanting lights I see things like this lol, I used to have a quantum badboy 16 bulb system..it rocked but used 900 watts and put off a bit of heat t5 or not. But 16 of these tubes would boom! And also get pricey lol

Stumbling to the finish line...
[video=youtube;nvOpbBU9cA0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvOpbBU9cA0[/video]

The Jilly's and the Big Lemons in the IG room are doing great.
The ace think cause they are sexy purple they can be bitches...typical sluts doing what ever it takes to get some...even self pollinate. Bananas this late are usually sterile and not much to worry about, just a pain in my ass. Plus I don't have anything else in the room flowering. The IG is on a separate air system plus the carbon filters and furnace filters stop any crazy chances of air mixing. And I do them first and seal it up then go to the AT room.

I think all should be fine and I'll just ride it out for the last week.

Goddamn they look good! Maybe it's just the pontoon, but the tops just seem to resonate purple like mad. :weed:

Everything I've seen from TGA has done really well, but then maybe I just follow the good growers..

How many days do you recon before harvest ?
The spidermites will not be a problem ?
Probably about 5-7 days.

Spider mites aren't going to kill or stop them. And at this point there really isn't anything todo about it other than chop. I take off any leaf I see with suck marks. There are no webs yet so I think I will be just fine going to full flower time for optimal thc production.
