It has been doing great for me. since i got it like 1 1/2 weeks ago i have gianed double the foilage and grown alot 2x taller. I am now at 17 inches and im 1 week into flower. i am using only the hps and have notice a huge difference then before when i was using just plain on growlights from sprawlmart made by GE.

Sprawl-Mart, LOL.. do you watch the simpsons.. or did you get that from an earlier post...I should have named one of my broads Homerita!

[jimmybobjoe]

I dont know i think i have always called it that. i think im gonna name mine sandy after my my uncle who had a sex change. I think it is a hermie because I actually started my grow outside and some little black bugs started eating at her leaves. I think the stress from all of that has cause her to go hermie on me. i started mine about 7 days after Hardon started his plants.

SK,

My temps range between 75 and about 81. Has been up to about 85 once then I threw in the other fan to exhaust the room that was being exhausted into and it came right back down. I had read where about 76-80 is perfect for flowering.

I looked at the HPS's from Home D and they had 150 watters but 150 watts in HPS is only about 18,750. HID's are right at about 125 lumes/watt. Not to say that wouldn't help. Be less heat for sure. If I put one of those in my room though it'd give me about 57,000 lumes!! Or about 9500/lumes/sq/ft!! More than you need. Plus the heat would be wicked for my situation. I be eating baked Mary Jane for supper!

Good, so there is a good chance I can cool it down with more FANS.. I will try that, More money more money...

[jimmybobjoe]

I dont even have a guage to read temp in my closet, i just open it up every once in a while and enjoy the wonderfull smell drifting throughout the whole room. i also take a bowl of ice and sit it directly behind my fan as this seems to cool the room down alot. i also keep my house at 70 all day long.

[SeedKing72]

Yeah, I may do the ice thing freeze a jug, and then keep it the room alternate the jug every day until I get the temp controlled with fans...

I've read where a lot of people have had their temps in the upper 80's all the time and had some unreal grows. I think the secret is good air movement and being right on top of good watering practices. But if you can keep fresh air moving into the area and move the stale air out then that's the most important thing.

Be interesting to see if a frozen gallon jug of water would make any difference. I can't see how it'd make much and especially at the top canopy of the plant where your temps are going to be the warmest.

[SeedKing72]

Yeah the gallon of frozen water probably aint gonna work.. it was one of those brain farts..

Well remember Whore and Cunt were grown in the 90's constantly during flower. Even 96 was the high one day inside there during the sleep period.

Your fan leaves will get big as shit as they expand attempting to respirate and lower the cellular temps. They will get ridiculously large at those temps

I agree with MB....you can mitigate some effects by having massive ventilation constant circulation and a lot of fricking fan leaf tie downs
