    pretty nice setup ya got it looks like. sounds like u got plenty of light and penetration. I wouldnt worry. those ladies will fatten up for ya. ive had the same thing happen to me. mine filled out nicely. i didnt quite have as much spacing as you do. your buds might be a lil whispy, but they will still produce good smoke.

    Your going to get a TON of variance with seed scavenged from several different bags. Just do your best to work around it. Garden looks nice and healthy:thumbs-up:

    Thanks RR!


    So I just got back from my local hydro store and apparently I'm retarded...


    So since I HAD an HPS running for veg, I figured I needed to switch to MH for flower. Dude at the store says MH is only good for veg, NOT flowering and HPS is the only bulb to go both ways. I spent like $120 on a conversion bulb for that very reason. I now also have a second 600w HPS only ballast and a second reflector (very nice) that I will use in my second tent for subsequent grows. So, should I switch back to the HPS bulb or was the guy full of it? I'm leaning towards I'm a goof. Thoughts?

    Heh heh, yup thats what I'm aiming for eventually. I've got some seeds that I ordered a few months ago from Amsterdam called Big Bud. They claim its easy to grow and has large yields in its history. Since I now have 2 tents, I'm thinking of maybe using them to constantly harvest but we'll see how #1 turns out first. I have 1 digital ballast that'll run whatever plus the HPS I picked up today. I'm also lucky that its just me and MrsPharmDoc in this big 'ol house so our electric bills wont spike and have us stick out from our neighbors. Has anyone ever grow BB? Any experience/quality pearls for that particular strain?

    :roffl: :roffl: :roffl: Pharm! You so funny!


    He's right. Mh for veg and HPS for flower and if you are going to use only one go with the HPS. If you still have the conversion return it or you could keep it and use it vegging your next garden. $120 For a 600w HPS to MH conversion? I guess that's about right for a shop. You can pick up a Sunmaster for $70 or Ushio for $90 online. What you don't get online is the advice...oh hey? Yeah ya do!


    cheers,
