looks like alot of money! why not go cheaper? plenty of other sellers that offer quality fem seeds at a lower price.
Hi LG2004, Yeah I know but I figure if I get summink thats hyped up to be great, IS expensive its ALSO likely that no one else nearby will have tried it all it takes is word of mouth and this shit will go £25+ per 8th and being a 'High Yielder' will give me a great little wage earner and cover all my costs as well as giving me a tidy 1st grow profit. Once all costs have been considered my next grow/harvest will sell for less and undercut everyone else £20 per 8th and give me a nice line up of customers :) ....Potentially :) of course I maybe be greedy and keep it all for my self and have a great 6 month smoke fest :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Once all the final upgrades have been made. That will be my final "After Pic" ... Not to long from now either :) I am going to address my light leaks today and will document with pics etc later today, I can't wait to install the new reflector :) Another idea I want to look into is a de-humidifier for flowering stage, I need to look into the Pro's N Con's before settling to by one, You know...........Infact I'll look into that now before I sort out the light leaks since I am already sitting at my computer ~ Makes sense :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I found this on E-How's website :- Correct Use of a Dehumidifier

By an eHow Contributor

The primary purpose of a dehumidifier is, as its name implies, to reduce the humidity within a house/greenhouse. When humidity rises to a certain level, mold can occur. The amount of humidity greatly affects the amount of insects in your house, as well.

Choose a Dehumidifier

Obviously, you cannot expect a small dehumidifier with a miniature reservoir to impact the humidity level of a giant room. Make a logical choice, since the size of the dehumidifier, and the size of its reservoir, goes hand-in-hand with the size of the space in question.

Position the Dehumidifier

Your dehumidifier's location is important to the air flow. In a room with ceiling ventilation, such as an air duct, position the dehumidifier against a wall. Your dehumidifier's location is most important in rooms without any air ventilation. In such rooms, position your dehumidifier near the center of the room.
Clean the Room
Clean the room before you use the dehumidifier so you do not get any unexpected junk in the reservoir. To keep your machine low-maintenance, make sure the surrounding area is kept spotless. This includes removing any mold or mildew that appears around the room.

I just called my local Hydro store and asked where and when to position the de-humidifier, The dude said "Humidity is at its highest at night (LIGHTS OFF) and position it near to the air in-take duct, Also run it for a couple of hours throughout the day just to keep things in check.

So I will be buying this little unit and another ENVIROLITE TIMER, to put the unit on auto, that's helped me, So hopefully thats helped some of you too :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I also decided that since I am interested in getting a dehumidifier, I may as well also look into getting a humidifier/de-humidifier remote controller setup to humid/de-humid where or when necessary.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY GOOD REPUTABLE REMOTE HUMID/DE-HUMID CONTROLLER'S ???

I've seen a couple on E-bay but honestly need to ask for a little help on this topic :) ....Please! :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I then covered it with silver tape and drilled a couple of holes to make screwing it in place easier :) I didnt take to much care covering it with silver tape cos the naff side wont show :) - STELTHY :leaf:

My other light leak was around the top and bottom edges of the doors and also where they meet upon closing, So I took some plastic L shaped lengths - STELTHY :leaf:

Then I stapled them all in place and used a Marker Pen to cover the staples to colour-code them and make them blend in with the rest of the black housing :) JOB DONE!!! - No more light leaks !! :) - STELTHY :leaf:
