Round 4: Kush Zone (150W HPS CAB)

[bombdiggity]

Yo wuts up everyone, welcome to my 4th grow. I literally just got my first clone for this grow from SFSHC - Afghani Kush

The clone looks OK, I guess. This is my first time growing from clone I figured it would save me a couple weeks of seedling stage.

My box dimensions are 3'Wx1'Dx3.5'H (very small) and in previous grows my yields have been around 2oz from 2-3 plants.

Will be using FoxFarm Grow Big and molasses during veg, still haven't decided what flower nutes I want to use.

I have a 150W HPS hanging from the top inline cooled by a 4" Vortex fan mounted on top (outside) the cab. Temps at canopy level are still in the low 80's so I will need to open another intake hole with some sort of filter that will keep light out (any suggestions?????)

Anyway, thats enough typing for now just check out these pics of my setup and the first clone in this Kush round.

Hi dustoxx420:

If you look at my previous grows in my signature you will see that I do LST the plants throughout the entire grow - I HAVE to thanks to my limited vertical space.

Thanks for stopping by

I have read all previous grows and very impressed. Will be hopping aboard on this one. :smokin: Good luck Chuck.

Thanks deleafer2220, good to have you here! Feel free to challenge Mr. Norris on this internet forum, but remember:

Also, I switched to my 110W T5's today. Not digging the HPS for veg on this round.

Clone is not looking happy at all. Going to my coop today to get another Kush variety.

I'll be watching as I'm getting the same hps light (pretty much) soon. Does that light really generate that much heat? Probably a small cab like that would really be affected by temp increase from the hps.
:stoned:

Yeah, I have a 4" Vortex inline cooling it and temps in my cab are about 4-6 deg above room temp. This could be a bit better if I had an additional passive intake hole. Problem with cooling this lamp is in order to inline cool it you need to remove the reflector which is right above the bulb - loosing that direction of light up into the duct. I have not figured out a way around this - and honestly it is a horrible design. I would not recommend that light to anybody.
