hey guys,
roughly how far do you keep your top of canopy from your 150s?
I have my canopy 8-10 inches below the bulb... I'm too scared to burn them, never had an HPS before... don't want to be wasting light penetration tho...

Distance will vary with many factors. The best method to judge is using the back of your hand test. Put your hand under your bulb at any distance you like. If you can keep it there without much discomfort, your plants will be fine too. Test often at the top of your canopy and keep the lights as close as possible for the best results.

It's been 8 days since last update and I switched light period to 12/12 6 days ago. I'm really in trouble with those ladies! I haven't spotted any hairs yeat but I really hope that they start flowering soon and stops that sick growing cuz at this growth rate they are gonna run out of space. Few days ago I had to remove some leaves and scrop them with heavy hand. Could scropping slow down flowering at this stage of grow?
Not gonna use any flexible material on V-ScrOG screen next time

So i kicked the durban out of my grow room.im pretty sure my friend got me them genetics from a cracker jack box .i was starting to get worried that crap would go herm and spray crap pollen all over my kush plant i tossed a small 5 inch kush clone under my other 150w next to his mom and i havent decided if im going to pollenate the both of them with the f1 male or just take the small clone and get smaller amount of seeds.
the males stems smell like fruit punch im hoping that rubs off on her kids.

What kind of inline fan you have in that system Elucka ?
I have this fan: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?sku=70225866#tab=specs
There are five passive inlet air holes at bottom and is outside of tubs sucking exhaust air thru active carbon filter. I thought that cooltube would be great to eliminate heat in this system, but I was so wrong! As you can see from that pic, air doesn't move at the top very well. I'm trying to keep ladies as low as I can, let's hope that heat doesn't damage them very much. Maybe someday I try to remove cooltube and check if temperatures will decrease.

Great job Sol far!!
What tent are you using, looks nice and small
If you don't have another location to flower in, you may want to consider flipping them very soon.

The tent is a secret jardin 40 x 40 *120 cm .
But the seeds are fem auto flowers so they are under 18/6 hours light and they should start to flower by them self.
Its only one plant in there that are a regular 12/12 seed and i dont know how i gona do with that one. Ihave an veg chamber in the making so i think she will go in there and just do some fim training or some thing with her.

Why not just put the air holes at the top, so cool air is pulled in, goes down through the plants and down to the cooltube opening? You'd probably want some thing to keep light in (and out during dark periods) - maybe some PVC pipe elbows or something similar?

I'm no expert, but if money is the problem have him try MAXIBLOOM and dry KOOLBLOOM. It's cheap and works well, he should get multiple grows under 40 bucks. Trying to mix and match nutes sounds like a major PITA, here's a link https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=191645

Hey man thanks for the reply i have some maxi but i also have liquid form gh flora duo.and i wanted to use up the rest of my old advanced nutes or trash them ..haha.i just never bought over drive and i kinda feel like ditching the big bud at week four like they recomend im going to either start adding the root organics npk at the recomended 1 tablespoon per gall or the awsome blossom from techna flora witch is the same ratio as the over drive at 2.5 mils per gallon becuse i have a litttle i could spare but im thinking the root organics will be a bad move cause the volume is 1 table spoon per gall and im already runing the gh base with b 52 bud factor x and i never used roots oganics just worried that might fry me and my buddies plants.././tell you the truth my buddy needs to get a dam job ya know lol thanks again.
What a great idea! Really gonna try this out if it helps. Thank you!
