Part of the benifit of this site is that people can have different view points and still talk. Glad you could get something from the thread that may help you.

Sick grow man I haven't had time to read all the thread looks amazing .

Glad you like it. So many good threads on this site. It is where I got my info for my first grow. I owe so much to people who have posted on this site.

From my point of view you owe me some clones.... or I'm not talking to you. How about that!

Sorry I had to build a cabin for my brother and now I am roofing my neighbors mothers house. Should be able to get some to you middle of next week.

Not clones but cuttings.

Do they come with complementary spider mites? You know bobble doesn't want them unless the super mites are included :biggrin:

Just wanted my first post to be here on your thread thanking you for the detail of info you put into this. The screens you built sure make life easier with canopy management. And the connected elbows up top for added stability. Just genius!:tiphat:
Also the base light holder is a easy way to set up a double stack without those cables or chains others employ.

Glad it helped you. Now start a thread so I can see how you change it for the better.

I just let it run on the floor as it does not matter.

Hey Ic, u still running the 2' screens with the 2k watts. so ur screen is 27" from the light?

Yes still use the same screens. I did switch over to 2 1k bulbs after this thread.

Cool, I tried those dimensions with 600's and it cost me pretty good. Now I know that is for 1k, and 600's are better at the screen starting at 21-22".

If you lean the colas in you get better penitration from your lights. This will allow you to get a higher yield from a three dimentional grow rather than a two dimentional grow. They should fininsh somewhere about 10-12 inches from the bulb.

Yep that's what I do, good advice. Ive pushed 6" with 600's and they scorched. I found that 10" to be the safe spot. Might get to 8" but u chance schortching bud.

So u go 10" with the 1k, do u get a bit of light bleaching on those close buds. I kinda thought u would have to stay 15" away.

I don't get to many at 10 inches. Like you said they scorce. That should have said no closer or maxed at 10-12 inches from. I do lose the tip sometimes but sometimes not. They tend not to stay that close for to long before they fall down from their own weight.
