Weedchick goes Hydro 1st attempt

[Zandor]

That's close for a 1000w loc even I don't get mine that close. Guess I need a bigger AC.

I guess they don't stretch much hu?
no tip burn at all?

[LOC NAR1958]

The only burn is when I bump the light with leaves or my hand. Trying to keep the stretch down but some still do alittle. I 'll take a pic. since I got the big light and a big dehumidifier and AC in a 4' x 6' I can keep it cool. It's about like a cool tube you can hold your hand 2 inches away for minutes and not burn. When I had the 400 they would grow right up into the light and burn, Well you saw. They won't do that with a 1000.

Good evening, now for the 5 PM report. First picture is the roots of Big Bertha. I am amazed at how fast these weeds grow. Big bertha and mini got moved into 4 inch pots. The other two in dirt still need a few days before they're moved to 4 inch pots.. The bubble cloner is great. The seedlings have put on their second set of leaves. So far I have 4 plants in dirt and 6 in hydro. So far everyone is healthy and alive. This is so exciting.

That's all folks. Stay tuned, same bat channel, same bat time.

The ladies are in thier 3rd week of flowering and comming along nicely I think. Temp is stable at 85 on top and 80 on bottom. I have 250hps about a foot over them with (2) 125cfl as side lights. I will post pics tonight. They take 1/2 gallon a day to top of the res. The co2 tablets work great and cost 7 bucks or so for 16pk at pet store. Reading my past posts I neglected to mention that I removed the cocoa husk from the hydroton. And I also got a 12" bubble bar instead of the 4" back when they were seedlings.

loc... have you bumped a bulb with your hand?
did it burn the flesh right off?

I'd love to hear the details... it is a fear` that I have always had being around 1000 HID's....

love

Hey Knowm, If the leaves touch it they burn right up . You can cut that leaf or part of it. I have hit it with my hand and my arm, Almost my head but just hair burn, which doesn't smell good with the plants. It didn't take the skin off but it is painfull and I can compair it to touching a red hot burner on the stove. It don't take me long to find out it's burned. Nasty little burn but with my AC blowing over it you don't know till it's to late. I only did it a couple of times and try not to go check them when I'm smoking. LOL. Hope that helps and everyone stay clear of the lights, they will burn.

These are the latest picures. Buds aren't as big as I would like but they got under the hps two weeks into flowering, so I'm sure they will fattin' up soon! I use bloom food and some superthrive for nuits. but I want to buy some super bloom booster stuff but I don't know which type yeilds the best results. Any suggestions? 5 weeks left. Then chop..chop!
