Looks like things could get interesting. What did you strip all the leaves off for?

I had stripped majority middle leaves to spread them out so it won’t become out of control. Don’t worry this is the only time I did this I’m going to let it grow out way more. Right now they are week 3 veg everything is growing back out. Basically making sure each cola gets space so no leaves touch each other to cause problems. I’m hoping things go very very well. Maybe all plants together will yield way more than previous grows. I don’t know whether I should top 2 or 3 more times so it won’t just have 4 or 5 main colas. I’m guessing when I put 600 watt light in and have more exhaust it will help thrive alot better. Really hoping the back right 30 gal pot that plant to bounce back from me accidentally snapping main cola almost completely off. I did see some sort of string type in middle of cola that were still attached I don’t know what its specifically called but I won’t be using co2 bags on this one so I can see how much better or worse they get. The ones outside though are a whole different story. Those are loving the sun still vegging an growing like crazy while the og Gelato flowers more I think it has 6 more weeks to go maybe 7 weeks. Found out one plant in 30 gal outside has cow manure on bottom an it is loving it so much. Got rid of those white bugs both outside and in tent. Og Gelato has been growing since sprout to now has been 185 days she is still stretching in 10 gal pot lol yes I know 185 days from sprout to now is a long time but wanted to see what will happen if I did that. No signs of hermie and no signs of stress nor diseases I’m pretty happy about how she is doing

Not checking them for 3 days then seeing this today blew my mind 4 week in veg about 5th week in couple days. It’s only gonna get better with another exhaust vent and another light I’m putting in tomorrow. Might have to add another scrog net

Flower time! They had enough veg time more than 8 weeks plus had to put in other light totla of 1600 watt hps max setting so cool in there had to put in another vent in there. The are all most defenitly getting all the light they need
this picture below is 1 1000 watt mh you see the difference between above picture and below picture? No more shade for the front little girls

@dbrn32 so I came across a problem… When I had 1000 watt light in 5x5 tent and the 600 watt in other tent both were working fine. Since I now moved 600 watt light with 1k watt light the 600 watt light turns on then shuts off. I don’t understand what’s going on. I don’t know whether it’s the bulb, ballast or not getting enough power. Both vent fans are working but when I plug in 600 watt light it shuts off in couple seconds. Now I have the 1000 watt hps going on super lumens to have light and it’s working fine just not 600 watt light. Top buds sites getting light but bottom ones not so well. I pruned enough so they can get some light. My question is what could possibly wrong with other light shutting off? Also do you think 1000 watt light can be enough for all plants and just selective harvest top buds when time comes?

So the only thing that changed is where you plugged lamp into? No bulb or component changes?
I’m also wondering if bulb comes back on after a while, like it cycles on and off. Or just fires for a few a seconds and goes out until you do something?

I’ll plug it in comes on for bout a minute then shuts off. 1k watt light did shut off once and 600 watt stayed on. When 1 light is on it will stay on. Now the 1k light stays on then 600 watt one shuts off after 30 seconds to a minute. It’s not doing it when just 1k watt light is on with 2 fans going one pushing air out the other pushing air in. I don’t know whether I should have 1k light stay on for 12 hours on then when it shuts off have the 600 watt light turn on for the front. Don’t wanna have them reveg. I’ve had 600 watt ballist since first grow. Basically when both are on 600 watt shuts off everytime no component change. @dbrn32 the thing is I don’t k ow whether that 1k hps light on super lumens will be enough for all of them
Depends on condition and type of bulb and size of reflector i would say.
Did you try running fixtures from individual circuits?

What do you mean different fixtures? Bulb in it is not new bulb it’s used one but only used a little bit. I have 1 surge protector in wall outlet that has ext cord to another power surge that has both 2 fans 2 timers 2 ballist and 2 lights. I did this before with no problem when other light was in 3x3 tent.
You have a thousand watt fixture and a 600 watt fixture right?

Yes you are right. I haven’t tried turning one vent fan off and have 1 running and have both lights on or turn off ballist for 600 watt to reset it
How big of a circuit, 20amp? Split it up and try. If you haven’t already melted something will probably be fine.

Circuit I don’t know and by splitting them up you mean putting 600 watt back in 3x3 tent? If so it’s kinda impossible cause the plants in 5x5 tent are stuck in cause of net. Or do you mean run another surge protected adapter and run 600 watt light on that? Or just turn one fan off let the vent fan suck air out then put 600 watt light on to see what happens? @dbrn32
I mean make sure one light is plugged into one circuit, and the other light is plugged into a different circuit. Not just a different receptacle, but a different receptacle that gets power from a different breaker in your distribution panel. Ie “a different circuit”

Oh okay I gotcha. I only got 1 main outlet which 1 surge protector adapter is on. Both lights fan and ballist are on separate surge protector adapters running both into one outlet. I tried plugging in ext cord to the main outlet where adapter is with multiple outlets on adapter and still does same thing.
@dbrn32 I’ll send u a pic
Plugging more power strips in doesn’t change anything in your favor. In fact, is probably the reason most grow rooms that catch on fire do. I’m not trying to scare you or anything, but these are basic electrical principles. Splitting, and branching the circuit still goes back to same place. Unless abnormally large residential circuit, seems like you are overloading it.
