Yeah they are about the same price but I sacrificed a few watts so I wouldn't ahve to setup some elaborate ducting and cooltube. 250W is plenty for my personal headstash lol. If I ever have to upgrade I'll just pawn off this one and pay the difference for a 400W :P

Honestly man, you should do that anyways with the grow tent you've got. btw what size is it?, My 400 watt hps i had it inside a triple stacked Rubbermaid without no heat issues. HTG Rocks Regardless when your plants get bigger your gunna want more light coverage.

It's a DR60 2'x2'x5.5'. I've heard about people getting a 400w in there but not without a cooltube and more than 170 cfm. 250w will suffice for now :p

Nice, I just got me a dresser i found out in the street for free in perfect condition. Perfect for a grow cab! So I'm working on it little by little. I just installed my 400 watt hps. I'll be adding mylar soon and adding in my fans

400w in a DR60? I'd love to see that. I'm only running about 250w cfl's in my GL60 and can keep my temps in the mid 80's pretty easily with a 4" inline fan. If someone can show me how to put more in there and keep it cool I'd love to see it.

Great grow so far btw, I have 5 little seedlings in my tent right now, they're doing good but I'd love to be able to put more light in there and keep my temps down

Those mushrooms looked awesome. How long did all those last you? Or did you dish some out to friends? Sorry my questions aren't thread-related.

I gave most of them away since I grow pounds at a time. Mushroom growing's pretty easy once you get the techniques down. Anyways, that tub pictured was Oak Ridge, a cubensis substrain. Yield off the one tub was about 3oz. dry.

About 2.5 weeks from seed.

Runs a little warm but the plants are still thriving since they are still small. We've also been experiencing a heatwave in the upper 90s so once it cools off the temps will be ideal :P

Here's a picture I just took. I haven't watered yet and there was a little bit of nute burn a few days ago. Other than that the plants are doing pretty well. It's too bad about the Warlock, but now I'll just focus on these two plants. Hoping the bagseeds a fem.

P.S. I greened out for the first time in my life earlier. Faced a 25 in a blunt by myself and couldn't sit up or I would have spewed. Comatose for a half hour haha. I always knew it was possible!

I love how joint is to blunt as pipe is to bong. I don't smoke blunts that often, but when I do.. ahhhh... yeah. But the most fucked up I have ever been was using pipes, but it was after a year of no smoking, so I can't say it's the pipes themselves. Gooood times..

I've decided to switch to flowering early, so that I can finish up this operation quickly before I switch residences. I'm not to worried about yield this go round, but if it were an optionm I would have vegged these two a little while longer. Well, here they are... Soon I should be able to tell if the bagseed (on right) is male or female. Sorry to disappoint anybody who might think it is a little too soon lol.
