How long till you flip the switch to 12?

Maybe in a week or two. I'm going to prep some solution this weekend to force the fems to produce balls.

man these were JH autos that I ordered. Im going to germ 1 of them and see if maybe they have the wrong label on the package. Super Silver Haze has purplish leaves right ? Still no response to my email. 

Yeah good luck getting a response from them.

I agree with greenkush. Rather run LEDs you will only save in the long run. I ran 1000w lights and an AC to a month. Spent about 3k on electricity.

I got my electric bill this month, with only 600 watts worth of my panels running and 320 watts for a week. My electric bill barely jumped.

 2 of my friends are  running 750w gavita in tents and they going great . I own 4 of the 750w myself so yes I know the heat they put out and can tell you they can run about 60-70cm from canopy . Put a wide angle reflector on and you can drop it to a little more .

Do u run any gravitas or had experience with them? Yes the 1000w are hectic but the 750w was designed for the personal grower 

Nope, I don't own one, but a friend has a few running in a big room.  I am more interested in the LED technology, my next light is going to be the fluence spyder 2i (https://fluence.science/technology/spydr/). I'm not disputing Gavitas at all, its just so frustrating see people lambaste other technology.

A gavita running in that size tent will introduce major heat problems, purely due to the height of it. Gavitas were not designed to run inside of tents, warehouses, heigh roof rooms sure.  Not inside a 2m height tent. Also considering the fact that the gavita has so much head room required.

Are you running a gavita in a tent?

If I go 2 hps or MH,  how much is the electricity bill difference? 

If you go for two HPS /MH it all depends on the wattage and hours that you run.  So you'll need to calculate based on your kw/h rate.

Nothing wrong with that setup, but you're going to need an AC, it going to get pretty toasty.

I won't use them, they very sketchy with their lineage.

That's a descent budget , get yourself a gavita setup and you wont be sorry . If you want to grow mids use led 

If the guy is growing for personal use there is no need to spend close to 10K on a light alone.

4000 diodes board array. (old pic when it was still being setup)

Stay away from mars, total garbage. Go to amazon and import a quantum board. (https://www.amazon.com/Horticulture-Lighting-Group-Quantum-Boards/dp/B078P4K8J9/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541148099&sr=8-2&keywords=quantum+board&dpID=41K3e7p4M2L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch)

Like Trophy we also can order in whatever strain you after or can find it.. Whilst we are building up our libary of on hand genetics , we do a shipment every 2 weeks in SA so depending if we have your strain  on hand or not and when you have ordered it may take up to 2 weeks to receive  your order. 

Yep I am using cannasmith for a few orders. Will report back here once they're in hand, so far the process has been smooth.

Haha ye , I just ran ducting from the door to the tent , aint got a window but it seems to be working already

You'll see a big drop, I'm running 1500 watts of LED in my tent and at night it stays stable at 28.c, I also pull in air with two AC Inifinity 351 CFM fans, one for extraction the heat out through a filter the other directly from the window. My air exchange is constant and pretty fast, coupled with a mist maker running during the light on period to compensate for the loss of humidity the mist cools the room even more and maintains my humidity at around 50% (yes i know 60% is ideal for veg, but my plants dont seem to mind this).

You're drawing hot air into your tent from the ceiling there is your problem. My setup is exactly like yours except i pull air direct from the outside via a window. My neighbors see it, I don't give a shit either, they don't know what im growing.

I only buy from local banks that give seeds in sealed breeder packs.  

Trophy seeds does customer orders as @Dr. Green states, however by little longer its like 9 days.

Okay, so perhaps you want a carbon filter then ahaha.

Pantihose is the winner @420SA, I use it on my cab. I change it out on day 1 of flower. Stops my dog's hairs, bugs and lotsa other shit

Agreed, a carbon filter is a very expensive method just to get rid of some hairs and dust when a 20-50R alternative will do fine.

Looks great but it appears to be unavailable 

I see its only shipping to the USA. I normally use a forwarding address for things like that. But in any event a stocking will work just as well

What are you trying to remove from the incoming air?

Thanks @TomHill  the phresh does look legit but I'm gonna need something a little smaller. 

@Pvt_sToNeR I've been looking at these https://accessorylab.co.za/products/homedics-hepa-filter-for-ar-10a . I actually did look at the cone filter option but they're too small

@greenkush stocking is a good go to option if there's nothing else. Would like to try use something designed for the purpose though

Howzit guys

Would just like to know what you guys do to filter your intake vent. Mine is actively taking in air from outside through a 6 inch duct. How do guys filter out insects, excessive dust etc?

I have a stocking at the end of my duct which stops debris, insects and such getting into my fan. I don't see the point of adding another carbon filter to the incoming. My internal carbon filter is https://www.futurama.co.za/carbon-filter-150x500mm-6-x20-50mm-carbon-bed/, my tent is under constant negative pressure so you cannot smell a thing at all. Even if im standing right next to it I can't smell anything.

I use Phresh Intake Filter 6 in x 12 in 450 CFM to clean my intake. 

When I ordered them they were R1500 incl shipping + duties. With the current exchange it is around R2000

You really don't need a carbon filter to filter the incoming air, unless you live in a super polluted area.

How was the packaging? I just ordered from them, hoping to get parcel this week.
