    I'm using a new wave 48 T5 it runs $350 plus 8 54 watt 6500k T5s . I know Sun Blaze makes one similar to this and it's much less expensive. I just went to my hydro store and he said this is what you need and I bought it. It's really a great light for veg. I'm very happy with it. I'm a little...

    10-12 days to start build out. Help Please!

    The plan right now is to build a box around the can 100 and run 8" ducting to the lights which will cool the lights and clean the air. My room is actually 10 x 10 and I put a wall up at 7' to seal the room. The can 100 will be vented into the other room. I was told if you vent right back into...

    Well after lots of reading and talking with the guys at the hydro store I've redesigned the room again. For now I removed the CO2 because I was told using a can filter and venting the outflow out of the room also takes the CO2. I would really like to use the CO2 and believe its very...
