new flower cab, light advice needed.

thanks bear,

do you think 250w its a bit on the small side for 6 sq ft?

I was originally thinking of a 400w HPS with a TD160 fan. If this is too hot I can change the lamp to 250w right?

i got some cardboard from the local bike shop - nice big peices they deliver new bikes in - and painted it flat white. now waiting for another 200w cfl. will fit a door in the week and maybe get a bit of mylar in there.
still only costing 10 quid :yippee:

put some mylar on the walls, made some light brackets and reflectors from the box the lights come in, and lined them with mylar. tomorrow I will fix in the power and put the door up. its very bright in there - hope my girls like it.

yo emmpey....well nice set-up m8....go for a 400w if you can, yer ladies will love you for it....but make sure you got plenty of airflow in there... :thumbsup: :greenthumb:

cheers m8, aint got the spons at the mo. maybe next year - unless Santa's packing me a 400w HPS with ballast, reflector, ducting and fan. I should be ok for a harvest or two in there though.

hey, are those the massive 100w cfl's in there?? i like the setup. when u gonna start it all off cant wait to see

later

hey thanks shamen, they're two 200w red envirolites giving off about 36,000 lumens, which works out at 6000 per sq ft :D

I got some ladies vegging at the mo - white widow X skunk, should start flowering them in the next week or two once I take some clones.

ok, i'm all done. had a nightmare with the zipper, forgot I cut the bottom off and run the slider off the bottom, after I had fixed the door to the cab. had to take the top bit of the zipper apart to get it back on :(

it's cost me about £30 total excluding the lights (they're £40 each with free sockets). the last pic is with the lights on and door closed - it's light tight.

should be using it in a week or too :dance:
