Add me to the 250w crowd, well 270w in my case. I've been growing this way since 2006. My flower cab is a 32x20x78 home depot special that I've modified. I go Carbon Filter to air cooled hood to 4" Vortex fan. Temps run about 4 degrees above ambient.

I've currently got two Hashberry/Lockdown crosses flowering.

No, i have never opened the door when the lights was off. And i have never takin them out and got a good pic of them with a suitable light. I will post better pics of them the day i chop them down. Should be in a couple weeks. But here is a couple more pics from tonight. They are at day 45 of flowering. Right now i only have a total of 3 plants placed around the light. I wanted to see if having two different strains would work but the difference in height between the White Rhino and the Hindu Kush is alot and would make getting the Kush up high enough i would have plants at all different levels. I have figured out just how tall to get the Rhinos while vegging that they stretch up to where i want them. I topped the Rhino but left the Kush alone to see how tall or bushy it gets in it's natural form. The way this one is doing in the verticle setup i could probably get 12 of these size plants around my light in a two tier stadium style grow. But i want to try 6 Rhino placed around the light and have them fill a tube shaped screen placed 11in from the light all the way around it. I seen a pic one time and got the idea from it but i cant remember where i seen the pic at or who the author was.

So I have the dresser moved into position, the sound factor is in check with it being beside the fridge. I just need to finish the exhaust in hiding the duct somehow.
However these seem to be my typical temperatures... I am ready to put some plants in but would this be a lost cause with it being 87 in there? I am getting at least 5 air exchanges per minute and im hoping as fall arrives the air coming through the window will get colder.
Plus ill be doing lights on at night time so it should help.
Ill have pictures up once my little girls arrive :)
I also have the Aero garden on top to distract from any noise :)

my tent gets al the way up to 94 95 sometimes but its mostly in between 85 and 91. My babies are green and healthy looking. i am growing one of the easiest strains (white dwarf) so maybe thats the reason. just treat them good and they will adjust. it is a weed.

Yea i like this thread i got a 250 cuz i didnt want to cuz an electrical clue. They use very little energy. my bill was under 100 and i have two setups. the other with a ufo and dwc. im jus dabbling butg heres my WD. I call her jail bait because shes a sweet young seductive thing with a little grass on the field and for other obvious reasons. guess u can call me the pied piper of growing trees.white dwarf.jpg

i'm kinda on the fence about a 400w or 250w, it's sounding like 250 is more appropriate for my area. I have a 3' x 2' x 1.5' dresser about 400w of CFL under it and temps are ok. But i'll have to figure out better venting for a hps. Perhaps a cooltube?

something else that might be helpful, would be brands that have a good reputation for 250w (or any for that matter) HPS setups. I know I'm curious
