crispi, you're my hero! holy cow! that's great i deff see the validity of recirculation, i'm just going to have to figure out how to set it up. i was planing on doing a sog type grow with these, perpetual in the sense that when 8-9 come off, 8-9 go in. 9 buckets should work out to 46''x46'', which i know the 1000w will cover. i have a total of 6 feet from floor to the glass of the hood at the lights highest point, so i'll need to consider that...

the strain that i'm considering for the first run is dreamgoddess (godbudxdreamweaver). this pheno came out unbeleivable, and i want more she grew to be about 24 inches in all, and i din't get the yeild . but here's some pix...

sorry for all the q's and ideas guys, i'm a water n00b
