  1. What light pannels are you running?

  2. Some cheap ass ones from alibaba.com, honestly I would buy a few more from kingbright on alibaba, but they wouldn’t have the deep red in them, and instead just be a straight 3500k panels.... with the China shit going on, I don’t think I’ll be ordering any more for quite some time..... plus I wanna build one, buddy of mine has build specs for a 4x4 flower and veg light that I’ll not ever be able to crank all the way up due to it being so strong

  4. I've been running a 400 watt HPS for a few years now but I'm gonna upgrade my 2×4 tent to a 4×4 or 5×5 eventually.

  5. ahh nice! See I am also thinking of just going the HPS route for flower.... I’m currently sitting on ~480 true watts.... and to be quick and cheap, I could boost with a 600w hps and get the performance I want

  6. That's what I'm trying to decide go 600 w HPS or LED.

  7. yaaa i would suplement your existing light with a few good led's, thats why i would add the 600w hps to the leds i currently have... with all this virus shit, i feel as though certain things are about to become very expensive due to china down and out

  8. Oh I know papa! I was just carrying on from reading your post on the comparative one. You are right though this is not an outdoor strain for it to produce.

  9. Yes I guess I'm trying to rationalize kicking them outside lol. My last auto for a long time. Maybe a few in spring due to reveg light hours outside. I just don't get any advantage with them. 20 hours of light and they don't finish any faster. I will say the 3 bears is the best I have grown. Maybe try a few mephisito next spring. But if the photos I am growing are bomb, due to finally have a grow in the zone. That may just convince me to stick with bohdi and maybe a few fems, Barney's rqs etc

  10. But I still didn't like the structure of the ACJ. Pretty small and dainty. I pounded them with silica like all my plants. The 3 bears I had to tie the plant up like crazy. They could never hold up the big ass buds. I hate that I want to grow pretty plants too. I guess all of these IG photos and all lol

  11. actually if you gonna go that route don't add a 600w..get a ballast that is 600w and dims to 400w..at peak in your cycle go 600w for maybe a wk or so rest of the time you be at 400w..went that route 600w will be too hot and overkill..400/250w even better but hrd to find..been many yrs since i looked..tech probally different by now

  14. The structure of the ACJ’s for the indoor grower is superb, naturally wants to be scroged from my experience with them so far

  16. Is the chm better worse? I have never really paid much attention to them.... if I get a check from trump I may just build my own cause I know I can for $550 and push more than 800w with it. Shit part is the light will be one solid panel though.
