Well sb101 I got to say I wish I was on the westcoast because I know for a fact I would get about 10 clones of that chocolate thai.
yea `so this MH has built in ballast and gets REAL hot. annoying i had to raise it leaves on the clones were getting all heat f'ed up. . . i'm gonna go back to my original setup today or tomorrow methinks cause the heat is more hassle than the extra 250watts are worth
i've got a fan blowing at the light now, cooling it down enough. don't have a thermometer because haven't needed one, but i'd be guessing it got up to 90 degrees in the top chamber last night..clipped some of the really badly curling leaves but raised it to the top and got the fan on it so its manageable again.
the MH i've decided is too much hassle for what its worth. the roommate is going to setup the hydro and start in veg with it but i don't know what he's going to do about flowering, probably buy another HPS...i'm wondering, whats the cheapest we could get a decent 600w for. just watered everybody and...
cool thanks for the info. so i'm getting AC tomorrow should help a lot, and i just sprayed everything with Neem oil for a little added protection. plus i've seen some fruit flies flyin around just want to be safe, and i think neem oil helps the leaves stand up to the temp a little better but maybe thats just me. i leave on thursday for 4 days so i hope my roommate doesn't fuck anything up
