Got some photos through a polarized lens. I think she's adjusted well to the different light spectrum. I'd like to pick up one of those super eye hortilux bulbs. 180$ for it seems like a lot though!
Its the best bulb on the market. Supposed to be the best spectrums, longest lasting bulbs, and most lumen retention over time. Htown uses one i think?? Ill stick with my ultrasuns for awhile lol http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1304901-Amethyst's-7Gal-Organic-Dirt-Extravaganza!!
Those hps bulbs are heatless .. That's why there amazing. Lol But on amazon there only 60$ not 180$. In case you do wanna get some. Anyways looking good n subbed!! My screens filling up too IT IS WHAT IT IS ! Learn&Grow
Its basically a HPs and a mh wrapped into 1 big ass bulb. Its the quintessential single bulb for the entire grow.
Oh I know the type. They give out less total lumens per wattage though due to the metal halide part so although you can get away with buying just the one bulb, I think you would be better off with one of each. My last grow I had an HPS on the left and a metal halide on the right and after a week growth was noticeabley less under the MH. It could have been a coincidence of course, but I didn't want to take any chances and changed the MH for another HPS. The bulbs I really like are "long life lamp company's" superlight bulbs. They are much whiter than normal HPS lamps. I can't get hold of them any more though. I recently bought a SunMaster bulb because it said it was duel spectrum but it's just as yellow as any other HPS
I prefer ultrasuns hps, full spec, works great for veg and flower and is 30$ http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1304901-Amethyst's-7Gal-Organic-Dirt-Extravaganza!!
Ultra sun bulbs are 2000k the same as regular HPS. Do they look different? I have a 250w long life company bulb and its much whiter than regular HPS. But I can't get hold of a 600w one. I think the company may have stopped making them. I keep seeing bulbs with "duel" and "full" spectrum stamped on them but I'm not convinced they are any different from regular HPS bulbs
Says full spectrum. Chart shows more red and yellow but also blue and green. If they were basic hps wouldn't my seedlings have gotten super stretched from seed? http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1304901-Amethyst's-7Gal-Organic-Dirt-Extravaganza!!
I dunno, all I'm saying is that they say their bulbs are 2000Kelvin and that's the same as normal HPS. I have a duel spectrum running now and it's yellow as shit. I'm sceptical, but not stating that there is anything wrong with their bulbs
Idk if I'm using dual arcs. I doubt it. Lol i feel ya. They work better than other hps bulbs I've had. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1304901-Amethyst's-7Gal-Organic-Dirt-Extravaganza!!
Im curious. On the next go around is all the super cropping unnecessary? I would think a couple toppings would suffice. Basically getting a couple main stalks to work with rather than a ton of horizontal branches and low shoots. Would you recommend removing the lower branches? Would it help the higher portions of the plant grow out? It might make spacing the screen out easier in the long run. Thoughts? 1000 watt Scrog Journal
I don't supercrop, I just top a few times and let the screen do the rest of the work. At about 3 weeks of 12/12 I cut off all the lower branches that haven't reached the screen. Plus all the new growing tips, but try and leave as many leaves as I can. If I don't remove the lower growth it fills up with tiny buds, and growing shoots and buds compete for the plant's resources that I would prefer go to the top of the canopy Also, tiny buds are a nightmare to trim so I end up making hash out of them, which isn't all bad lol
