The current plan is to stick the vegging girls into the flower room after I move things around. I'll take cuttings from them before that and all I'll need is something to keep the clones alive while they root. I've basically got until they root to get a veg light worked out, lol. Hopefully something works out by then with work and I can go buy one.

I'll figure it all out one way or another. I usually do ;)

dude. If you just need a simple light get the same led troffer light I picked up at HD. it is 62w led tube and covers a 2x4 area. was under 100$ out the door. will grow clones and small plants

I might do that. I'll either get something like that or a four tube, t5 light. I can get both for about the same price.

EDIT: That LED light is actually a little cheaper.

I have about a week to get my room switched around before Jig comes to get the LED lights I'm using for veg. He'll be picking them up when he comes over a week from Saturday. By that time I need to swap the 1K in the tube for the bare 600 and relocate my fan and filter and get the vegging plants in there.

I'm a little nervous about getting air bud from running the whole 5' diameter but there are some people that have said they think it will be fine so I'm going to give it a go. It's definitely easier than shrinking it down to 4' and still have shelves for my plants.

I would have to build shelf units and rehang my screen in order to shrink it down.

Well, the room is switched around and I'll get pics tonight when the light comes on. I need to take cuttings from the vegging plants and stick them in the flower room soon. They're between 18-21" tall now and looking a little bushy.

I haven't taken any pics of the flower room or of the plants I recently put in there yet but do intend to do so. I had a lot going on early in the week but now have zero to do other than work on my car and I don't really want to do that right now, lol.

I suppose I'd like to install more screen material in the flower room but am not sure on exactly how I want it installed yet.

I had the wire come off the pulley for the mover too and am not sure how to keep it from happening again. Until I figure it out, the mover will remain unplugged. The alignment just didn't look quite right when I hooked it up but it worked fine at first so I didn't think much of it. I knew it had come off track when I went to bed that evening. I could hear a noise inside my house as I went upstairs and I knew right away what it was.

One of my buddies said he felt a little out of place at first but he said it was just for a little bit. The other one was just bummed about having to leave early.
I was high from about 11 am yesterday until I went to bed.

Not just a little high either, lol. I was pretty stinking high most of the day and it was nice.

A nice plus from yesterday is I now have a veg light!

The homie Jigfresh brought a 250 watt light setup with him. It needs some work to get going but the price was right so I'm stoked.

The ballast is not in an enclosure, it's just the parts all wired together. The parts need to be mounted to something and then wire up a lamp lead. I have a short one left over from another light that I can use so I'm all set. I just need to decide what I want to mount the pieces to and some time to get it put together.

I'll get pics of everything once I have it set up. Right now it's just a pile of parts on my veg room floor.

Another bonus was having 13 Fireball plants left at my place for me to whatever I want with. I think I'll sell them on Craigslist.
Just kidding. I'm keeping eight of the little ones and the one big one. Papakush6 is taking the rest to his place. He really likes the Fireball plants.

Today I have reassembled my cool tube so it now has a reflector on it again and can be hung horizontally and wired it up for the little ballast. The plan is to run the 250 MH in it for veg until I can get something that will cover the space better. Something like a t8 or a t5 fixture or maybe another LED light, depending on funds.
