Yeah I don't see shit about cmh harvests either! I'm debating cmh or t5's for dog... Wish there was more input, heat is going to be a huge issue for me! Any suggestions?

My plants are in week 7 of flower under two 400w phillips cmh and two 400w induction lights on a light mover. My harvest should be about a week or two away. Check my sig link to see current pics of my grow.
They started out flowering under two 1000w hps and have been under the cmh's for 2 weeks. They will finish out under the cmh's and inductions.

ok sorry for the wait on updates been super busy. the plants are now in week 2/3ish of flower. the aptus plants are noticeably bushier than the HG plants and vertically the HG plants are taller it seems. the plants are also about 2 1/2 feet wide they are doing great. here are some pictures they are labeled if they are HG or Aptus

love to do it man. i will be at the long beach indoor garden show with the inventor of aptus. i talked to him via skype today actually their concepts on growing are very different from what we do in the US or what is said on this site. they dont use RO at all lol mainly tap water with a dechlorinator and sediment filter if u have heavy metals in ur water. they are going to have me do a much larger scale demonstration of their nutrients soon in a 32k watt setup drain to waste pretty bitchen just saw the setup today, i will also be using it on my other grow the 20k watt setup i have a journal about on here in ebb and flow buckets with coco

hey jdmcwestevo how close did you say you can comfortably sit your hand to your cmh bulb?
Coz i gotta 400w philips hpit plus bulb and i can sit my hand bout 3-4'' away easy but everything ive read says to keep plants atleast 6-8'' away from a 400w bulb dunno if that has anything to do with the growbox i got tho.
do you reckon itd be safe for me to let my plants grow to 4-5 inches away from my bulb thnx in advance 4 any help it is much appreciated.

i can put my hand easily 3" away i let the plants almost touch it when the fan blows them a bit. they are prolly 5" at most from the light at the closest point. i think its fine as long as they dont show any signs of burn or heat stress due to being to close.
