This week I got a cool tube reflector and 1000w Metal Halide bulb. I had to run the new bulb at 100% for the first 100 hours so I raised it all the way to the top of my space. I hooked up a small 6" booster fan to one end of the cool tube and hooked the other end to my exhaust fan so that I could have air pushed over the bulb and pulled out of the tent into the filter. Sadly, I lost my negative pressure. Temperature was also a serious problem and I had to leave the tent open at times which was a heat score. I enlarged my intake hole and opened a nearby window a bit wider to bring the heat down until I could turn down the bulb. 1000w is way overkill for my space but even though I have a dimmable balast, I wasn't comfortable getting a 600w bulb and running it at 50% or 75% on my 1000w balast.
Once the plants started growing vigorously again, I started training the new main branches down. My original plan was for ScrOG and I drilled some eye hooks into my frame and layered some trellis I got from the hydroponics store to make the squares smaller. Around this time, I found out about mainlining as well.
@3lementa1, good to know, I haven’t smoked anything for about 20 years. My fast eddy grow is my first venture in a very long time. May need to build up some resistance before I try blue shark 😂😂
@SparkyGrow, thanks! I love this strain. Be warned though, even though it's a 1:1 THC:CBD plant, it can feel strong even to experienced smokers. It's not as chill as I expected from a "CBD strain".
