    Great video. I like the new intro. I enjoyed this one. I actually have my
    HID system on the way so this is very insightful. Glad you still make
    videos that can help us new growers out. Thanks Mr. Tight! Btw who are you
    rooting for this Sunday?

    “You don’t want to have it too tight to the point you can’t get it out and
    bust a bulb, then your hood is no good” Great tip, looking out for New
    Growers who might make this mistake.

    Something I have heard is, you can go cheap on a bulb but change it out
    after every grow to keep the lumens high. So say you run a 20 dollar bulb
    compared to a 60 dollar bulb it will take you 3 grows to spend 60 dollars
    in buls. But you produce more lumens with a fresh cheap bulb every grow
    than a more expensive bulb that will lose to many lumens in 3 grows.

    Thanks for sharing man. Personally, I use nothing but Hortilux. They
    always look brighter than any other bulbs I’ve tried. I change them every
    2 grows or every 4-6 months. Not really sure if that’s completely
    necessary, but better safe than sorry I guess.

    Seems to be brighter and Im sure it is. May invest in a light meter to know
    for sure how much your bulbs have down graded to keep your garden at max
    potential. Heard of some bulbs loosing up to 50% after 2 grows. They are 1
    of the most expensive parts of the grow so you might as well keep them at
    there best effectiveness. Just a waist of power if not. Looking good. .

    Great vid. I’m really digging the new intro. I am looking to run a simular
    set up(2 lights and I think the same exact tent). I have a few questions
    for ya. How high do your temps get?? Do you run ac?? Is temp concern the
    reason why u run 600’s?? I was looking at those exact hoods on htg, but I
    am also considering the magnums xxxl. Do u think it is worth the extra
    money for the xxxls or should I stay with htg?? Sorry for all the questions
    but I believe in finding someone who knows what they are doing and emulate
    them. Take care

    Funny how folks find anything to critique, when the Cannabis Network does
    take off, someone like Tight will be an instant hit. Welcome to The Garden
    Hour with your host Mr. Tight.
