I will totally follow this to the end, I just think you would have been better off with 1k hps and some led supplement light in there... That's what I'm running in my 5x5 next! Your just asking to bleach your buds! Either way of uou manage it till the end it should be sick ;)
 
So Here is day 37... Dual inlet, 2 cool tubes. Pictures of the Big D, Sour Kush (the biggest one), Vortex BC Gods Bud and Purple Pineapple Express and then about 17 clones

Man I can't believe they would hack a grow site, were just a bunch of friendly stonners they like to journal the progress, check out other grows, get tips, advice and ask questions. I'm on day 37 and they erased 10 pages/24 days.....of learning!! FOR ME!! Trial and error but I like to be able to go back and look. Gotta know where I've been to know where to go
 
Ya man no offense at all, you are just over doing it... Not by me being a douche just pure science, those plants would be totally satisfied with a 400w mh and more than anything I see super tight nodes with fat cfl sitting right on each plant. I also question where your taking your temp at... I was just talking to someone that ran 2 600's in a 5x5 said it got hot with 2 huge 8in fans... Your leaves look to be showing heat stress already imo when a plant is happy those leaves are flat as paper aiming straight up at the lights.
Last month I was having major heat problems before I added the second cool tube and the second inlet with squirrel fan. I have one of those inlet's butted up against a big box fan to assist that nice cold air 78 degrees is the hottest it gets (temp unit in room is under a chair not in direct light, that sends the number to my other unit) the lights are at the top of the room, the 2 fans keep the stems thick. I usually run hps at 1000 and the mh at 500. If the temp is low 70's I turn it up some.

YES!! Keep watching, after these 2 autos these 4 strains/30 plants are going 12/12 in 30 days ( clones better hurry and root!)

+rep for a cool journal. Thanks for sharing. You might wanna tone the lights down though. That is overkill and I think I'm starting to see early signs of light bleaching. If you are giving the plants too many footcandles they will start to turn really light in color and eventually white. Good luck.

Ok cool, you think even with the temp under 80 and the lights being so high/in cool tubes they would still do that. 1500Watts on average......

youll be alright man i have done this b4. but i can tell you from exp your gonna get some burn. 1400w would be better as i when i flowered it was awesome but it didn't prove profitable for what it cost me to do the same thing. but +rep for the attempt i hope you have better results than I did(some of my plants ended up crispy around the edges and i was running to 6 in fan on 2 cooltubes and it was pretty hot i run co2 so it made it a little easier for me)

They attacked the forum host, everything on the forums was all fucked up. So they had to rollback to the last time the backup server saved everything.

But none the less, I'm subbed and will be watching.

Cool bro thanks, I too am running co2... Only have a 10 gallon tank but co2 none the less. I also use smart pots. My temp has been good lately so.....dinners crossed.

Hail the fruity strains ! :) Lemon Vortex that sounds delicious.. The Devils are giving of a very nice smell too, kinda sweet fruit citrus thing..
We are not that far from each other on grow. Nice to have something to compare with. When are you thinking about harvesting? 100% Cloudy? Bit amber?
Im thinking as ive got 3 devils i might let one go for a little longer, but aiming at 100% Cloudy.

Dude the fact you got those babys running under 80 with one fan under 500cfm your the man... And like said too many lumens equals bleached buds.... BUT. Both lights are in cool tubes which dramatically reduces lumens and for every foot of distance from the light to the top of the canopy you loose 25% ruffly for every foot of distance so you can do the math, I think you potentially might be doing it right. Just if temps get too too high, you will do more damage than you will help to your yields! Best of luck man! What's your electricity bill like from fans, 2, lights Ect? If uou don't mind me asking?
