Wanted to wait till flower time to post pics. I decided to go ahead and grow 4 in the tent. I’ve got another seed in dirt to sprout. Should still be plenty of time to get her go’in for an outdoor grow.
Look like some nice healthy plants. I assume they are autos. What strain? Good luck and happy growing
Its GDP and they’re 55 days old from seed. I just flipped the light to 12/12 about an hour ago. Now it’s all done except for the rest of it.

Not seen anyone run a cool tube in a long time, such a pointless thing.
Nice plants flipped at the right time be monsters soon.
When you start growing your plants. Do you leave the grow lights on 24 hours. I’m just starting out.
You probably wanna ask someone else about this. Things have changed since I did this last…mainly lighting. I’ll get caught up sooner or later. (Probably later)
I use the 18x6 until flip to 12x12 for flower. Here’s some more information on grow lighting and DLI.
Well man, I make do with what I have. When I get some extra $$$$$ I’ll buy a new light but for now this light works just fine. Its produced alota good weed for me over the years.
Ah I meant the glass dosent stop the heat, all that light is heat and passes through the glass.
Can do a simple test, put your hand five inches under each a cool tube and a hps… still burns bad right!
Well man, I’m old, old fashioned. That light has a 400 watt HPS bulb hooked up to a 6" inline fan exhausted to my attic. The light itself puts out near “0” heat. I wouldn’t be afraid to put my tongue on it. Tent stays at78*-80*
Thank you for your feedback. I am new to this and tried it last year with grow lights on 24-7 from germination till I planted out side in May. They seemed to flower to soon.

I exaggerated the “0” heat/tongue thing but it really doesn’t get that warm. Long as the inline fan is running it stays at 78*. I keep it a foot or less above the tops. Common sense will let you know if ur light is too close.
