5 CoolWhite CFL's @ 45=150w,2800L.
5 WarmWhite Incandescents for an added red haze. notice the red hue in the pictures,the wall should be off-white not pinkish orange.
Incandscent isn't ideal obviously.. they create a lot of heat...
Yes, i'm sweating like a dog, but my plant has great airflow...:stoned:

Very nice buds, BB. Im very happy with mines, very good quality, but yours are so compact!:dance:
I think maybe the incans make the difference. Ive heard that in the "golden years", when HPS and MH dont exist, people growing with fluos supplement them with incans to increase yield, but ive never seen this put in practice. But what ive heard is that only with 25w incan bulbs is enough. I will try it, or maybe try with 730nm leds, because the question is the fluo's lacking of far red.

I'm happy! sometimes , not all the time.. but sometimes people get way in over their head thinking they need an HPS and heavy duty equipement to grow successfully. sometimes the best thing to do is start small, and get larger.. this i believe apply's to all horticulture.. after all.. they do start as seed.
Here's some more pics, it's pretty dry, been hanging for 4 days..i'm going to be removing the buds from the stem and bagging the harvest for another week.
smells...good in here...
yes, my camera sucks for super close ups, but you can clearly see the sparkle of crytals on the bud.
Cheers,
Bob.:stoned:
