9 days since flip sure bugs are eradicated. I changed the 600hps for a 400 was getting a little hot



bought a kingbo 1000 led light I think its 250 output. its hanging from a piece of wood resting on a bed base and a head board is very rough and ready, just trying it out in a small space before I think about buying another led, have ordered some mylar sheeting and I have a spare extractor fan, have planted 2 seeds, bruce banner and gelato og problem is the bb grows tall and I will have to super crop lots I imagine it will fill the space

looked like aphids because of the trail they left behind, gave them 2 sprays 10 days apart with a garden fruit and veg spray not organic but says you can eat veg after spraying. second spray burned a few leaves I was dreading having to spray again,

had a busy week changing lights then changing back to where I was.

I took the parabolic shade down because of the weight plus the trouble raising and lowering then I came across a secure ceiling hook that should take the weight, I dropped the cheapo shade onto the plants luckily it dropped on a cane stopped it doing more damage but it still broke a couple of tops, alls well that ends well got the 600hps up and running just hope plants don’t hermie

Not trying to step on anyone’s toes but those dont look anywhere close to harvest. Looks like about another month to me from those pics. Best of luck with whatever you decide
