Thanks Shadey! Oh I see now, down at the bottom, I was counting green pips! As I mentioned, I’m pretty inexperienced and unwieldy with forums etc, but I’ll have it figured soon I’m sure. On that note, what are the green pips?

What’s up guys! I am very happy to find such a cool site with so many cool people on it. I have been growing a few years and have just started playing with LEDs. I only have a little bit of space so can’t go to crazy. I have health problems and smoking helps me eat and sleep better. It helps ease my pain or at least sometimes for about it. I’m just trying to make some friends with like minded people and grow some pretty plants! I’m from Arizona but been in the Midwest for about 13 years… so I guess I’m from here now.

I like my 315cmh. It lets stuff get extra frosty! I thinks it has more Uv light in the spectrum. Was thinking that’s why they never put them in a enclosed air cooled hood with glass cuz the glass blocks the Uv light.

I pulled the trigger on a timber finally! I had to save up for like 9 months, but it being built rn. I’m excited to use a good light. And more excited about cooler temps and less electricity being used. I get worried with how much shit I plug in. Who has added more electricity to their grow areas? I’m not sure what I’m asking…lol I guess, I will find out how much I can plug in when everything goes black…

You only really need 30w/sq ft to bloom with. I learned a lot from reading through a dedicated thread over on ICmag forum, though I’m not actually a member there

I put up an offer on a used ceramic 315 so I might hit you up for advice soon.
Welcome to the real deal Overgrow.com everyone. Don’t be afraid to reach out and make friends here. You’ll find out that there are people here who are not just great growers, they’re awesome people too. @Old-Ron The Don is a true friend and I hope we’re still friends even when I get as old as his dusty ass.
@Tinytuttle is my soul brotha who talked me through the Pueblo hotel horror show right in a thread and we can talk on the phone for hours about everything but growing. @Joker aka The Fury From Missouri, is having some impressive success in his 1st grow. Fast learner, funny dude, a dedicated OG and friend. @Baltimore & @Meesh are an inspiration to me. The selfless generosity from almostdone @Instg8ter MrToast lefthandseeds @Swe-can & @Upstate is like putting their own jewels in my hands to keep safe.
You might make some friends because you have other things in common that are way deeper than growing cannabis. Many of us deal with mental health issues everyday. Some of us have serious medical problems. So, I believe that OG is what it is, because the majority of us are not preoccupied with what we do here in order to gratify ourselves or compete in disagreements about inconsequential things. Try to be tolerant and helpful without your blood pressure getting all Tony Soprano on you. Roast a bowl and run off a batch if you have to. Calms me right the fuck down. Anyhoo, I’ve been up all night. It’s still Saturday to me and I’m sick of myself already too. Shout out to @Who Nobody can be you but who? You Who! Get it? You know we walk the same road brotha man. That means we don’t walk alone. 
@PGT710 I’m seriously proud of you my friend. You know we’re looking out for you buddy! Unless, you delay in sending my half of the Tire Fire seeds, in which case I will conspire against you in a never ending blood feud with many needless casualties of innocent civilians. 
Just kidding! Text me later K. 
Say hi to you. Have a pleasant day.

Thanks for the warm welcome bro! I think off my 315 like my 600w mh on steroids! It makes really nice dense flowers with extra frost! A lot of my stuff when it’s done you can’t see any plant material, just curly trichomes with fat heads! It covers a 4x4 perfectly. I use a 315 and a 600w hps. Side by side and love the results! I’m about to add some cobs in the mix!
