Blackstar240 watt model
6 24watt T5 high-end bulbs (mixed spectrum)

15" by 34" grow space
temp stays around 78-83F


im debating getting a new higher powered led light, and ditching the t5's. im interested in a extreme diamond 200 watt/ a pro grow 260/pro grow 400/ any other badass light you suggest.

plus rep for any helpful responseIMG_20120114_192835.jpgbongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie

Your set-up is looking nice. I would go with a pro grow if it was me. But, still use that t5 as some side lighting, then switch each side in intervals. Even 2 more blackstars would be about the same cost of a pro grow 400. Then you got a way better foot print, and you can control the light placement alot more, and where you want all that penetration. Grow is looking good.
Whats your humidity at?

The pro grow gets great revies on these forums. The only reason I havent tried it is its not available on ebay billmelater lol. I hear the solarflare from california lightworks is fucking powerful. But at $500 for the 200w model its gonna kill your wallet. Plus the footprint is tiny, but with 5w diodes I bet the penetration rocks...for leds anyway
