It's only 72w of fluros and a 4" extractor I only turned on tonight... Just didn't think it would get that hot. Thinking it should keep the heat in check.
Seems to be doing the job anyway. My only concern at the moment is the 13" height. Made it to fit between two shelves and thinking now I should have went all out and made it a decent size. Another little vegging room wouldn't be a bad thing :D

or the ballasted end of the bulb.... do you have yours hanging like a traditional bulb or sideways or what??? you get better light haveing them sideways as in buds pic`s if you flick back, or pads flouro box....

mine hang like they do in the house but thats from me being lazy..
i got one hanging horizontally thanks to the reflector that came with it. but the second one is vert.. any attempt at hanging it horizontally has failed..

wouldn`t worry cloudy its not held mine back when i grew with cfl`s only, i say only as now i have the hps and the cfl`s going now, but after seeing sambo`s pic`s a few pages back i`m really thinking of hanging that second 600w now... i could do with the yeild ....

heat and condensation are no longer problems, well not since the changes i made to the new spot, have air movement sorted and exhaust, place is wired right etc etc so its just the leccey thats holding me back now, will know soon enough tho, just waiting on this months bill to come and we could be in business if its low enough, god knows i`ve been keeping her away from the dryer for ages....hahahahaha....

you get kits in grow shops for 250w, 400w and 600w they come with reflectors etc so plug and play.. got my 600 in cig for 150, last year, its been on 12/12 everyday since and not missed a beat...

the ballast is a noisey cunt but not that you`d hear it outside the room your growing in...

that's awesome. i hope to pick up an hps in the next few months..


you`ll do well with the cfl`s cloudy i think you can see that yourself in the plants you got going, there starting to bloom now so give it a week or two and you`ll see some real progress...

slow going this growing malarkie, but its worth it in the end.....

Oh and having the best bud in the world.....most of the dams strains originated on the west coast mainly california my home.

love a strain like that, aiming for two strain stable myself, one to get you through the day something nice head high, or just chop a heavy strain early...

and something to smack the brain out of you of an evening....
