What kind of HPS are you getting? (I hope I didn't miss that in a post)

I'm thinking of getting a small HPS, so, kind of curious is all.

nope you didnt miss that post. im thinking of getting a 250w just because of the space i have. when i get my box that is a bit bigger ill prolly run 2 250w hps and all my t5s should be good.

just went and bought a 150w hps took out the cfls. im losing a bit of wattage but gaining some penetration so ill take the good with the bad. pics will be posted later tonight.

Your plant looks great, very healthy! I am interested to see if the 150 will improve things. Are you not going to use the cfl's along with the hps?

i got 8 34w 3foot t5s all along the sides. i just replaced the around 300ws of cfls on top. to possibly get more penetration. in theory it seems like a good idea cause the smaller buds arent getting much light
