could not of said it better my self. Heres my latest shit, hope to get back in the game here soon. Im going to make a wood lid with elbo ducting exausting. I have to fans back to back to try to maximise air speed, and thereafter circulation. im going to have one fan suspended right in the middle focusing on the light, anyways, yes im still growing, just took me a bit to get back in the game. Getting my liscence in abouts a week

Hey but what do you think. Flex ducting elbow or sheet metal elbow (exaust) as for noise? Think thered be a noticable noise difference??

I didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if someone suggested this already, but check out this grow style.

You could do a box that size with a couple $20 hps's or shrink it down to fewer plants with one light.

Look closely at how freaking HUGE his yields were.

I just received my two econolights today.

Impressive for $20, I gotta say the build quality far exceeds anything I would have expected. Heavy fixture for such a cute tiny little bulb.

You will definitely enjoy your investment, here my little garden under 1 150w Econolight.

Yea I've grown plenty before, I just didn't have any HPS's at the moment so grabbed a couple of these.

I've been flowering the past year with two 250w halides just because they were free, I'm hoping these being the right spectrum they might equal those but save on heat and electric.

bxke how many girls is that?

Hey MM, Thought you'd wanna know, just chopped the main cola on one of the auto UK Cheese x ECSD i was testing before i do a seed run.. Its pretty dense and smells real nice...There's approx the same quantity, maybe a lil more still on the plant which will be cut next wk sometime.
It would've been alot better if it had a lil more light, but as the grapefruit was kinda obscuring it..it really wasnt getting that much light at all.
So now you kinda know how the cross went,and what i'm working with...Seems to be a nice mix, was as easy as my auto ECSD to grow and seems real resilient to nutes too, and considering it managed to give me this much bud with very little light , i think will yield well if it gets plenty of light.. Smoke report in a month.
Cant wait to get the seed run under way...



There will also be a comp for the folks in this thread to win some of the auto cheese x ECSD beans, or auto Cheisel as i call it.


Go steady..

I have 4 ladies in the closet.

cool. thanks

Just chopped one of my white rhinos...here is are the colas...Im going to let her sister go until the trichs are nice and amber. this plant had mostly cloudy, some slightly amber.

i keep seeing ppl talk about econolights and haven't been able to find out where they're from. anybody have a link?

They don't ship to canada if that's what the BC in your name stands for.

It's these:

lookin good. the cheese thats so chrystally? Ya a bit small, but non the less a fine specimen. Cant wait man

My seedlings arnt doing to well, im trying starting them out in rock wool but its not working to well, i think i might be getting to cold at night and its stuning the roots so i just killed my exaust to see if it makes any difference. Should i get um in some soil?

I hope everyone on here is running these 150's horizontally mounted and with the globe off. I wired one up and toyed with it a little to see how it looks compared to the 250 halides. Not bad, not bad at all, actually horizontally I can't tell which is brighter but to be fair my halide bulbs are ready to be replaced at close to 6 months old. Yes I know the spectrums are so different they don't exactly directly compare anyway, I just wanted to play with the new toys.

But be warned...Mounted vertically with the globe on they visibly suck ass... Light actually thrown down to a plant in this case is cut way way way way down and obviously can't compete with the 250 halide. Not only that, but the globe is so long you'll be forced to run the light too far away from the plant even if the top of the plant is touching the globe.


Also I sort of laughed at someone before for thinking that glass has a 10% light loss even though I agreed you should take the glass off. Well, this glass is much thicker and wavier than I expected and can't help but have a funhouse mirror effect on the light. Take that thing off men, it really is _THAT_ bad.

Off with the globe then! I'm glad you guys are here man. I only have a couple more weeks I think, but I guess it's never too late.

Yup totally covered in trichs bro..My camera's bein an ass or i'd have gotten better photos.. That single cola might look a lil unimpressive but its weighing in around 73g, and remember bro i have BIG hands bein 6'8"
Ya a bit small, but non the less a fine specimen. Cant wait man
Not too bad considering it was stuffed away in a corner..Just used a light meter in there, and the area it was in is receiving around 1/6 the light the other plants are gettin.. so not bad at all really..

See how the exhaust thing works for ya bro, then maybe a heat mat, or yeah maybe soil will work a lil better...
If its hella cold , it can be worth while insulating the outside of the pots too..but it can get bulky.

That looks sweet smokey..Nice job!!
