2x600 hps ebb & flow. Chronic, Grapegod, and Bluecheese. Single cola SOG.

Check the hour ratings on them. The 600w has a rated life of 16,000 hours and the 1kw has a rated life of 24,000 hours. If you check out the lumen maintenance graphs, you will see that your still getting 90% lumens at 50% of the rated life with both bulbs. For the 600w, that's 8000 total hours before I replace. Now I'm not sure if you veg at all with them, but I only flower so 9 weeks x 7 days x 12 hours = 756 hours of 12/12 for 9 weeks. Bulbs will last nearly 10 cycles before dropping to 90% brightness. If you prefer 95% brightness, chuck em after 4000 hours or about 5 cycles.

You're saying that is good right? I just saw a comparison of plants that everything was the same except the bulb and it was pretty incredible to say the least. What bulbs do you veg with?

Little past 5 weeks in these pics. I really think if I crammed 36 of these in my 3x3 I could get 2lbs. My only concern is mold...
These still have quite a bit of filling in to go. Should be done in about 1 month.

How much are you looking to pull per plant?

This time hopefully 1/2oz per, but I have a lot of blue cheese spread through there. Should be interesting to see where they Chronics weigh out.

And how long did they veg for? Or are they 12/12 from rooting?

Damn and I was hoping to pull an oz per plant with a dwc sog.
This is my first time growing chronic. I was wondering how is the smoke? The reviews are not very helpful some say its great some say its trash. Can you give a 1st hand experience. I have 10 now and they are huge just flowered them after a 52day veg. In a 4x4 tray with a 1000w.

It's a pretty basic smoke honestly. It smells real sweet, looks hairy, and fluffy, but it gets the job done. Not a super stoney smoke, but that's ok by me.

Thanks man. I haven't really been updating much because its mostly just smooth sailing at this point in time. They're in that akward sort of phase where they aren't really getting a whole lot bigger looking, but the buds will just start to swell up and get thick. Hopefully the chronics give me 1/2+ oz a piece. It would be cool if I got a zip from each of them, but I'm not really counting on it on this grow.

Good to hear things are going smooth. Hopefully in about 6 months time i'm at where you're right now.

Their AK47 is supposed to be real good, so is their white russian, bubble gum, etc. I'll grow some more exotic stuff in a year or so. I just want some quantity until I get better at it. Best stuff I've grown is probably mr nice ssh. I would like to try some of subcools stuff sooner or later. Namely querkle, qrazy train, etc.

I just had some SSH that was going round here. Very nice stuff. Too bad it was 180 a half.
I'm like addicted to buying seeds lol. I'm getting some new ones this weekend, attitude has a sale if u spend more than 35 pounds you get 7 freebies all fem plus the normal UFO freebies. Got 6 DNA genetics cataract kush. Excited. Maybe one day i'll be able to grow em, haha.

The Ak47 is awesome I am sure but I tend to stay to the lower odor strains. I live in a neighbor hood and just dont want the issue of ( oh my god whats that smell?? ) My buddy does a cash crop of Island Sweet Skunk and I can tell if he has been in his grow room that day or not. Its in his clothes the smell is that strong. I think my next go will be BOG sweet cindy99. Power+low flower time 45days + very low odor.
I do think SS Bubble gum is worth a shot.
