Seems a little odd that it would work by itself. But glad you found something.

right I’ve had that ballist since my first grow which was 5-6 years ago I’m surprised it lasted that long. the 1k watt light never done that to me. I tried seeing if changing fuse would work on 600 watt ballist but didnt. just kinda frustrated that it had to happen when plants were in middle of flower 
but it happens to everyone. this is what there looking like now
Minus the 600 watt light I had taken it out again so just running that one light. When I get new ballist I’m think on just getting another 1k ballist not 600.

I would consider switching out cool tube for something like magnum xxxl hood. I bet you would be a lot more satisfied with results from the 1000 alone.

running that light will perform better than 1k light? what’s the price on them an how many lights would I need to replace 1k hps?
Just went to water to come an see this
there only about either 3 weeks or about 4 weeks old to an already stacking flowers like that with alot of trichomes! perfect environment dialed in just wish 600 watt light ballist didn’t go out on me… Most definitely going to be best grow ever done. Flowers are only going to get fatter an fatter! I will be selective harvesting only top colas that have the big weight when those get done. I am leaving the ones not so big so flowers get fatter. what’s your guess on yield just by eyeballing it right now in all not per plant they are all runtz muffin an wedding cake? 
Step at a time an sure enough buds will get bigger an bigger every grow. oh 1 30 gal plant had to chop early outside 
damn puppy decided to drag pot tear it up an chewed branches so now I only got 3 in 30 gal an 2 in 5 gal buckets… But the good thing is atleast it wasn’t the big ones in 30 gal pots the one she chewed, dragged an dug into was the smallest one an I think it was blueberry fem but could be wrong an be white widow either way only got me grinder full when I dehydrated it. gave me that full on daytime effect so now I know to have outside ones milky/cloudy or even transparent to get daytime effects an have the high thc ones in tent either get mixed amber/milky trichomes or 70 percent amber. in about 2 weeks I’ll have more germinating so I can keep schedule up to date so I dont miss another grow this year like I messed up last time. @dbrn32 @CoyoteCody @Covertgrower

right! today I didn’t feed them nutes but I did last water 3 days ago. they really love the organic soil I must get another reammend kit lol I’ll take pics of the other ones outside to show you how well there doing. but I’m pretty sure they are 3 weeks an some days in tent. usually they stop getting fatter around 6 weeks right? thing is the outside ones I kinda have no clue which is which but I think I can tell them apart by the leaves. An yeah it is what it is it all happened within a day… I made sure this time she ain’t gonna do that again had put chicken wire all around it 
Let’s see if she can chew an drag those ones now lmao my 5 month old puppy has way too much energy thinking she claims a certain spot in the yard been finding all her toys in one spot

I know!!! that super lumens light is doing so much!! I took one side of reflector off an the ones that wasn’t getting much light in front now has enough. next grow I will be changing lights to the ones @dbrn32 had told me to use. I’ve been reading more about them an basically saying can outperform 1000 watt light

The will fill in a bunch, and after that it will look like they quit, but then they will get super fat, its usually around week 6 to 8 depending on what strains you are growing, but you should have some pretty long and fat buds, they really look great!!

thank you! I could veg long like I wanted too but the defenitly had a long time to veg wasn’t expecting them to be that tall. That h. o. g sea kelp liquid they really love too. every water time they will get a little of veg food an flower food mix along with sea kelp an molasses. I did bend all colas so plant can focus more on bud size. this is what outside ones look like now I’m guessing around November they will be done ready for harvest. Just been letting mother nature do its thing on them but I still water and give them nutes when it doesn’t rain. ones in 5 gal buckets I’m hoping they will get bigger but I know not to get hopes up for those 2 in buckets cause there’s only so much they can do in 5 gallons but hey I could be wrong and those buds could fatten up. one in 5 gallon bucket I didn’t top as much it only has 2 colas same with one of the plants in 7 gal fabric pot in 5x5 tent all the rest I made sure top top them so they can all have a nice even spread.

You will love the outcome of it this is my 3rd grow from little veg plants to harvest passed 2 outdoor grows not so well didn’t time it right but the 3rd caught the right time an performing way better than 1st an 2nd ones. You gotta let me know how well it goes. I don’t know why it is but it seems like ones outdoors perform alot better if well maintained the thc high hits different but that could be just cause of mother nature an the sun most defenitly. Where I’m at it gets humid not gonna lie that’s the only downfall but they still grow really good. I don’t know how many times I had to check for small spots of powder mildew from humidity but now I got them under control no more pests or powder mildew no more. do you know what strains your doing yet? @CoyoteCody

It’s just a hood for the light and ballast you already have.
I suppose you could buy whole assembly though if you wanted to

I found one an just gonna use my ballist. I had took a sample bud off 1 of the runtz muffin since there was 10 colas on it it was the one in 7 gal fabric pot. I did check trichomes production on it I did see some amber but more of opaque milky trichomes. hairs on it has roughly 30 maybe 40 percent amber hairs could be more. well I dehydrated it then dried it in fan for couple hours to be smoke able besides the harshness it smokes sooooo good thing is I don’t know whether that 7 gal runtz muffin stopped swelling up or not. I’d have to get a picture of it so you can see for yourself. buds look like this in size but not pistils like this one. buds maybe a little smaller but not much
@dbrn32 I think only that indoor runtz muffin I took bud off to test it is a week maybe 2 weeks older than the rest of them. it’s the only one with amber pistils besides the outside ones
Probably not if had a ton of white pistils. Unless they were just late foxtails coming in maybe.

here’s exactly what they look like right now my fiance says more trichomes are producing an their still getting fatter.
none look like they are foxtailing. @dbrn32
