Here's a little show, now that I have a little more of something to show. The Purple Kush and Sour Grapes had already started showing purple at four weeks so I let up on the cold a little. At more than 5 weeks now but no really recent photos; they havn't changed much, just frostier. I would like to have more photos to show ongoing progress but I havn't ben taking many. I have serious humidity issues that are somehow not causing any problems. One photo shows how I take the plants out and spread them in front of a fan so I can spray them with antimold/mildew stuff which is working I guess.

There's def some issues with their products. The liquids come out of the bottle about pH = 2.0, and their direction to start feeding TB at 12/12 is insane. TB doesn't have near enough N in it to support stretch. Their forumulas just don't jive with current knowledge on plant nutrition; none of them.

guess i hit a nerve with that one lol, whats the word on the nutrients, ie: what will you be using next time, i grow in soil and ff was very reasonably priced compared to some of the stuff by Advanced Nutrients so that sold me, ive never nuted with much strength b4, always just threw some blood and bone meal in my mix and was usually pretty good to go with just an all purpose 7-7-7 like every 3rd watering

glad for the headsup though, these bad boys may be put to use on my real vegetable garden this coming season lol, ill save whatever high octane i get for my girls

i really like the whole line and didn't have any troubles at all. some people just need to calm the fuck down. if you dont use it or dont like it thats fine but keep you negitive attitude to yourself.

the cha ching is the best of them all i would say. after using it for one week i had major frosty action going on. check my grow if you want to see the 6 day difference.

a few pictures to show you all what the ff can do

The older model lumatek's pop those bulbs but the newer revised version's are fine.

i'm actually trying to find a canadian supplier for ceramic metal halide's. You wouldn't happen to know of one would you?

dude, you just made my night... im going to go one step further... i have the 600 w dimmable ones that have the 400w setting... will these work do you think?

honestly, if i was in canada id know one... but im in the states. I appreciate that answer a ton tho... hopefully it works on a 600 dimmable... what kind of lumatek are you running?

Thanks boss

I would double check with the manufacturers. I know they dont work in any digital balast to the best of my knowledge. Doing so maigh just be throwing money out and void your ballasts warranty. And if you were asking if you could put a 400w cmh bulb in a dimmable 600w ballast the answer is no. The ballast is only meant to run 600w bulbs at varying brightnesses. CMH is way over rated as well. I know that people have tons of good things to say about them, but just look through this journal here.
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/210479-dual-areoponic-cabinet-ceramic-metal.html
He did a run that looked great with a cmh but the weight wasnt right. Convinced him to try out the Son Agro bulb and almost doubled his yield next run even though the plants were in poorer health than the cmh run. The CMH bulbs have a great spectum but the lumens aren't there to make it mater. If you want something similar to CMH but gets you good weight, check into enhanced spectum bulbs like the Son Agro, Ushio Opti-red, or Sunpulse Pulse start Metal Halide. All will yield you better results that the CMH.

Here's some pics of the only girl left in my 4th grow, it's a bag seed sativa it's around 9 weeks. So today I clipped 1 of her colas and it weighs 38 g's wet. Gonna let her go prolly another 2-3 weeks depends on how she's looking. A little porn for all ya 400 watters out there.
