ok wanted to share some stuff with my homies!

i dont know what to think of this because it happen so fast? a few days after i removed the 2nd 500w and just ran the one 500w they girl made a noticeable difference in flowring rate. they just started to shoot hairs out allot more right after. i am not sure what to think of it though because could changes happen that fast? in 2 days? maybe i just took out the 2nd light at the perfect time and this was gonna happen either way?

if it was from the 2nd panel getting removed then this supports my theory about using lower watts in high temps not because of heat but just because it makes the plants work to hard and delays flowering. now one think that seems to support this is i have a plant thats not really flowering and if i look at lower growth its flowering, thinking because it had less light. this is just like one plant. ill keep an eye one them to see if they keep flowering at this rate? lets hope so

girls are soooo much happier with just one 500w. temps are not too bad now. 85F right now.
i also noticed one thing, my bottom growth seems to be flowering faster then the top growth that was right under the other 500w panel. so this helps me to think my theory is right with extreme temps and having too much light just makes the plants work too hard. its on next summer!!!

cant wait to get my 180's in!! going with 3 of them for right now and keeping them spread out threw out a 4x4 row. should be perfect for these girls and keep temps down. allot more even then the one 500w right how should be a good spread over the ladies.

once it cools down its game on, blasting these girls with all 6x180's!! just only in the summer i am going to run low watts!

It's possible. Remember flowering occurs when the plant senses seasonal change towards winter and needs to reproduce. Less light in timing as well as intensity would mimick changing to winter sunlight patterns... I don't know if 2 days is enough either for the required hormone changes...

i am getting an idea? i have 3 huge monster and i mean very very big girls in the bunch, their punking out the smaller ones and getting shaded a little. i am debating on pulling the smaller ones, some arnt worth much to me, going to pull those and i have about two pretty nice smaller ones that might turn out good. but i am debating on pulling all the plants but the 3 huge ones and just running a 180w over each one. so 3x180's over the 3 plants. what you guys think? keep the smaller ones and let them all share the light or yank the smaller ones and let the bigger ones have all the room and each have their own 180w?

i have some big ideas for a hydro setup ive been working on for a while, just waiting for the temps too cool down. cant wait for you guys to see this one! temps are allot better at night with the other 500w off. right now i am at 80F. ya!!!! the day temps are still hot around 101F, plants are allot happier. makes me want to run only 3 lights this grow while the temps are so hot, thinking maybe the 3x180's might run cooler then the 500w because just maybe the insides dont heat up as much and keep the body cooler?

Sounds good to me! Any chance you can just train everything up to even the canopy as much as possible and run all of them?

if the smaller plants don't cramp the bigger ones up, I say put em in there. this could help shed some more light on your previous theory of to much light. but if putting the smaller plants in there jeopardizes the bigger plants then i wouldn't do it.

I got 2 tops that just keep reaching up to the light. It's going to be interesting to see how they finish. The ones on the far right are still lagging way behind. Depending on how and when the others finish, I may just take them down early.

The unknown purp strain is kicking ass. Doesn't look like it's going to yield too much but it smells like candy and is frosty as fuck. The pics of the more dense and finished looking buds are the unknown purp strain.

Nice man... I can't tell if it was just the way the pic made it look- or is there a touch of mold on some of those leaves?
