Beef Stew garlic or no garlic ??

when the choice is garlic or no garlic, always go with garlic, same for onions.

It was a space thing really. I wanted to get more light further down without pruning them to the bone. Not gonna pop so many next time. I was covering all bases assuming I'd lose a few.

Would 2 lights at 600 give you the coverage you need? It would pull more watts but probably be more efficient than 4 at 250

I personally think less light is worse for yeild than heat. How big an area are you covering? Would 2 lights at 600 cover it and maybe be about the same heat as 4 250's

I've spread em out so I'm now covering most of a 2x2 m area. I can squash em back up I guess... But they were pretty cramped. Live n learn. Next time I'll run half as many girls.

No. They're upstairs so not ideal to start with from a heat/ventilation point of view. I've got windows open but weather is really warm and close even at night.

If your intake is in the same room as your exhaust you're fighting a losing battle with heat..your tent will never be cooler than your intake air

Hps. Digi adjustable. So I can go 250w up to 600w. I added two lights and put all four down to 250w. Added an extra extractor. Still too hot. Wonder if I can find some cool tubes on eBay... aaarrgh... so heat is gonna be more damaging? Than lack of light? I can switch lights off in relay maybe?

Too high temps can ruin your crop while too little light will give you airy buds with a low potency.

Thanks man. I'm thinking as a summer emergency measure to get em through to finish. Four lights. Put em onto 18 hours. With 6 hours off. But one after the other. So only three lights lit at any time. If I can push lights up to 400 or 600 after I've staggered switch off times I'll do it. I can go grab four timers today. Also have another fan to add. So get some more air movement too. Sounds like a plan. A half assed plan but a plan! I'll check out cool tubes on eBay. Although probably wrong time of year to find any bargains!

Sounds like reasonable steps towards easing your heat problem!
I don`t see a grow journal in your signature, do you have anywhere we can follow your progress?
