Thanks for stopping in greenguy.
TOday marks day 30 for the biggest girls in the flowering room. The buds are swelling up after they are fed. for about 3 days the growth is just insane overnight and then it slows, and then I feed again, If it keeps going like this for another 2 weeks I should have some decent sized buds. I went and saw a fellow patients plants today. My buds were similarly sized and he is almost 3 weeks ahead, and we are using the same light, etc. everyday is something good so far.

Hi, Pics are coming tonight despite my horrendous hangover. I need to smoke some more which I will do right.........now. NOw Im ready

Should I lower my 1000w HPS?
Not aircooled, on a mover, It is about 18 inches from canopy, but can go way closer. I lifted it so the footprint was a little bigger and get better coverage when the mover is on the opposite side.

Venting the clone area? (8) 48" flouro tubes
Bought a 4 inch fan, should I pull air out or shoot air in?
Only one fan for now, heat is not really an issue just circulation

Thank you for your help. Pics will be up very soon.....

I plan on added an inline fan for circulation as well. I would think it should be venting out with a passive intake somewhere. Cant wait to see some pics later! :bigjoint:

in my veg area I have two windows open at opposite ends and two fans pointing in from apposing angles.... it creates the perfect environment for me and mine and what I am going for.... I would leave the light where it is and get another 400W exhausting both..... but that has been my suggestion for a while..... I won't budge on it..... your flowering area would greatly benefit from it..... only then would I suggest any increase in light focus or density exposure.....

All my shelves are filled up now TLD?
Where would I put the 400w? Im ready and I can grab one real cheap probably tomorrow. Probably wont be able to air cool it right off the bat. Thinking about just something really light like an adjust a wing, and I can hang it from a boom off the mover over my shelves. Just an idea. Got the clone area closed, with passive intake, and a small circulation fan. It is a very small space, and I have had excellent results so far without ventilation.
My veg area has a intake 7 inch fan (wall transfer fan), and then a dual fan window unit for exhaust. 400w MH not air cooled.
I have the pics here for everybody. Everybody is happy, they need to get some water this evening.
All plants pictured are 31 days into flower.

Do you think I could add a 400w MH for now, before I buy a conversion bulb. I can get the ballast and I have bulbs, I think that would work right?

400W MH then to conversion would be perfectly fine...... your temps will go up, and with that humidity goes up...... though you may have sufficient airflow for it already if your doing fine without exhaust now..... but it does help with air exchange...... in pic #13 I would put the 400W in the upper left hand corner there, centered over that section of the plants, can you shorten the travel length on the mover so the 1000W still goes back and forth (respectively centered) over the remaining area?

Unfortunately not. Im debating on ditiching the mover or buying a new one. I think I need another 1000w and no mover. Anyway. I will grab the 400w MH and throw it in a hood of some sort. I think next round im gonna hang a bare bulb 1000w in the middle of a circle of trees. I just want to pick my strain and understand what it likes. My portable AC is set at 76 right now, so maybe I will just drop it down. I can keep the grow room at 65 with the AC if neccasary.
Am i doin all right here TLD?
I really want to learn and get the most out of this grow.
