Here is some pics of my plant im running 2 150w lights on this plant this run only. these pics are from day 23-day 27 which im on. if you look close you can see some of my nute burn. ill probley water it with nutes a few days late and give them some more water in the mean time im hoping these colas swell up the next few weeks.
 
Well im at like 50% clear 50% milky trichs. Ive seen alot of people harvest there WW @60 DAYS. That would be about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Im not gonna put timeline on it though i finally got my pocket microscope so im good to go. My SSH HAS ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS TO GO.

I agree with that buddy.lol im not as technical as most with it thou but im going for yellow leafs and red hairs. when my plant looks almost dead im going to chop it. i never did get the timing right with my other strain cause i was going by some made up time schedual i put in my head rather then going for the death of the plant but either way it got me blazed and it was a strong high.

i really looking for some bud that will produce fat calx like the dr grin spoon shit you see in high times but mixed with larger colas .

Im just sick of buying .2 gram sized buds from the local 400 dispenceries .idk how they have trouble filling them jars with 1/8 -quarter sized nugs? no clue .so i guess ill have to keep growing my own lol.

The light is not actually using 378 watts. It just doesnt have a capacitor so its pulling 378, but only using about 170 or so. The rest is returned back thru the line. You only pay for the power used, not pulled. So not an issue unless you are limited on power and about to overload a circuit. Like if you were tryin to put 4-5 150s on one circuit you would def need caps.

id agree with disco the 600w hps is about the best you can want imo.running 4 150w vs 1 600 watt youre also going to be pushing alot more amps +more watts becuse you are also powering 4 balast+the heat issue and it being summer time and all . how would you plan on cooling 4 150w lights in a grow box? look up the grower named anyonecangrow on you tube he does the whole 600w hps grow box and he is growing soft ball sized nugs and gettting about 14 oz per plant.hope that helps

I'd go with the 600 for better penetration. 600 is the most efficient hps size.
