Yeah man

Thanks fellas 
Things are coming along...... as always it's a lil cramped but we make due lol..
Flipped about 10 to start, with the idea of adding at lease 2 every 2 wks.... so things are gonna get tight but hopefully in 8 wks or so when the first flipped are harvested it will open up a bit and we will be in the perpetual swing of things lol.
Wanted to get a little bit of everything in there so to run them and see how they stack up against each other... only keeping the cream of the crop so to speak
probably going to mother a few along with the seed runs that should keep us busy for a bit.
Trying to get through some of the seedbstock I have to at lease get an idea of it.. see what's what, find an few keepers and an a few breeders.
Also thinking on upgrading the lights from... 1 400mh and 1 600mh.... to 1 600mh and 1 1000mh...... maybe 2 1000s. I know. ..... do the 2 1000s lol..... I like the idea of cycling the plants through the room... starting under the 600 and then as flower goes a long they find them selves under the 1000 to finish. Just an idea.
Things are still in the construction stage for the veg cabs..... got them running and some what dialed but always improving, working on the ventilation and upgrading the lights where the top veg cab is being lite with led and cfl bulbs... switching them out for some t5 packages is the idea. And was pondering putting a couple 100 watt MH and HPS in the bottom lg. Cab to light with..
Always moving and improving lol...

Check out Durolux on amazon they got awesome t5's...2ft 4-12bulbs & 4ft 4-12bulbs (4, 6, 8 12)..1000w for veg and flower, your veg will probably outgrow the flower, 600w should be good but I'm barely on my first run with 1K all the way through and I've never vegged w/ HID so wtf do i know lol just my thoughts on it. If you're tying down SCROG machines 1000w veg would be awesome I think.
Got the 2ft8bulb Durolux in the 2x2...I likes it, I likes it a-lot. Want the 12bulb in the chuckin 2x2 when I get that going.

you can rock the hell out of a 4x4.... shoot I started in a tote.. and still run one lol.
gotta pay ah mage to the ol scrog box ..As long as your doing something you love.... the world is alright....
am I right.
Indeed
Got 4 GBBX getting ready to blow the fuck out of my shameful record harvest of 229g; I know folks have pulled 3# out of a 4x4 and I'm still not vegging with HID there's somethin wrong with ol WB's wiring lol
I think I beat that record with the GBF1's but I never did get a full tally on it, it didnt go no whers
edit- actually is a prollem with wiring lol forgot about that part.. dont have enough amps left on that circuit for another hid. Wanna get the garage turnt out but I need a SOLIDly light proof tent and those fuckers or that fucker will have to wait a couple rounds. Also got a car on jacks that needs out of there haha

Hid vs amps
Hid vs amps
How do you have your hids wired are you running 120 vac or 220vac what amp are your ballast/s are all of your venting fans on the same braker, if you are 120vac have you considered 220 u can run one braker for a sub box then split off your 120 at that point thus eliminating amp issues just my opinion and some possible ideas for you

wondering what the advantages are for you

I like them, they reduce the plants becoming root bound.. the roots hit the side and instead of turning and circling... they hit the fabric and air prune. Also they allow more air to the root zone so the risk of water sitting and creating other problems is reduced.
The only thing I didn't like is with the larger fabric pot I got, on the sevens the bottoms fabric seems to be really thin in areas like they stretched out the material..... but i think that is more of a quality control issue.. the ten gals on the other hand are rugged and have built on handles for easy moving. The ability to fold them up is great too.. saves a lot of space that I don't have lol.
If you got the chance and a extra 5 bucks try one out.... their pretty cheap at the hydro shop (brand depending ) and even cheaper on line.

Yeah it does sound worth a try to me also
Strawb-Pineapple Haze-diesel
220 service & the answer to the rest is a-yes. It's plugged in, runs good lol..not even sure what breaker I'm on with how it's wired, that room and the front right quarter panel of the house are on the same deal, ran a vacuum when it was on and it tripped it so I'm peaked out in there already. My garage is on a 30amp breaker so I can subpanel that little sucker for a good lil go-time.
