The problem is how they are made. It's still a very similar tube in diameter wrapped up in there compared to the smaller bulbs. So just like a little CFL your sweet spot for energy to the plant is still only 2 or 3 inches from the light. They really offer no advantages, and in fact several...

You're probably right man, but I'm always working on bigger scale. Still though I think of growing weed as three basic number values. Light, Nutrient, and Air. As you increase one you can increase the other three. High airflow (but not violently, and roughly fucking with the plants) literally...

For a space that small I'd go with two fans. I'd go with like a 400+ CFM exhaust, and a 200-300 cfm intake. That will ensure a touch of negative airpressure, which in turn forces the air to leave the room by going through the air scrubber. If you have a HID light you should just exhaust through...

100% agree. I'm using three of their hoods now. Just make sure you get something modern. When i say modern i mean have at least a 6 inch port into it, a gasket on the glass, and made to be not too deep. The older Sun Systems were too deep, and even for large hoods had little tiny 4 inch ports...

I see what your saying, and I empathize truly, BUT let me tell you man as somebody who has been at this shit for a while; This sounds like it's destined to become a bad idea. Just do an outdoor this year, and prepare yourself to get your own space, or a cooler room mate (fuck that dude). You...

That first pic is one of the best "little light" set ups I've seen in a while. Very Pro looking. How's your temps?

That light doesnt look close at all, especially for a 400. I've only used as small as 600s, but even with thier much greater penetration, I'd never space my lights that far off the canopy. The best buds I ever see are with air cooled hoods, and a canopy less than a foot from the bulbs (not the...

How much of an issue is noise? That is really where the high priced in-lines shine. If you're just looking for a reliable fan, with good cfm, with no regards to the noise it will make a big difference. I've been using hydro farm inlines for several years now , and on two of my units I've gotten...

Exactly, so in a typical grow room you can lolipop an indica dom, and get a couple fat ass kolas directly under your light. Sativas can do amazing yields, but they like to "explore" , lol. Now I've lived in a country with a tropical climate, where all the dope was outdoor, and basically pure...

Well if he is co2 enriching his sweet spot will go up by 5-7 degrees easily. Keep that in mind. Co2 raises the temp that plants metabolize ideally. For the OP, that sounds good man as long as you still have an additional way to bring it down a couple degrees when the ambient temps go up with the...

That's only because Indica doms lend themselves more to an indoor set-up. I would say that there is no real skill to growing. You simply set-up conditions as close to ideal as you can for the plant. Genetics though....hmmm you just can't polish a turd right? A bad strain is a bad strain, even if...

I'll probably incur the wrath of somebody with this, but I've had three shitty experiences with G-13 labs, Well not totally shitty, but after you've had some good strains it seems you realize their stuff is "just average", "nothing special" type shit. You want a guaranteed home run? Greenhouse's...

Sounds great man. That sounds perfect really, and if your talking about a household type oscillating fan, you'll be fine.

I gotta get some lunch man, but check back on this thread later, because I did a couple arenas, and I'll tell my story, lol!

It looks great man. One thing though, it's gonna be awfully fucking hot in there. I know you get a few more degrees of upper range with a high CO2 ppm, but i think you're going to be exhausting too much from that little box to see much benefit. I'd redo the ducting too. It looks rather...

Well there are a couple things you need to consider with air-cooled. Number one is that at 95 degrees your plants cant metabolize properly. The fertilizer you put in will have a very different composition from what the plant can actually absorb with those temps. So it's not just slow growth...

Man once you get going keeping enough shit vegged to put into flower is a breeze. I mean you have 8+ weeks to veg them out. I used to use a drip table, and MH 400s to veg. After I got the hang of it, I would notice that two months is a ton of time to veg. I'd normally waiting for space to clear...

Are you using in-line fans and air cooled hoods?

Man I don;t know what it is, but too much air flow on a plant stunts them alittle. It must make them transpire too fast, or cause minor tissue damage. I had 420 cfm intake sort of improperly set up, and whatever plant was closest to it would have problems. Nothing major, and they still matured...

I'm a veteran of indoor, and outdoor. i normally use 2x600w hps in flowering, but occasionally I'll use a 1000w hps, and 2x600w hps . Anyway I bought a 1000w agrosun hybrid bulb. It has a 600 hps, and a 400 MH filament inside a single glass tube. It looks great, I mean when it's shining down...
