little update.

I picked up 3 more t12 40 watt 4 foot shop lights today.

I have not added them to the room yet.

So now the plants will be surrounded by the t12's 40 watters, with the 150 watt hps in the middle up top, and the 85 watt cfl up there as well. Along with the two 30 watt cfls with reflectors close at lower bud sites.

I will post a picture when i am done setting up the new light setup. I have been thinking about setting up a 24 light camber for some new seedlings. So i will always have something in flower. I will prolly just wait till this are done, chop them and then reveg them so i will have a mother plant, for clones!.

I have learned alot in the past few weeks, and i am going to setup the new area, with the knowledge i have learned. By building a Cab and using reflective sheeting, or just paint it flat white, with proper ventilation.

I am thinking the grow box should be at least 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. With two fans, both being 4" inline duct fans. Should keep it cool enough. Since i only have one right now and 2 pc fans, i figure i will have enough air flow to keep temps down below 85 degrees. So heres the plan on the lighting.

Since i have 4 4ft t12 asemblies. I plan on putting one on each side. With the 150 watt Hps up top with a new better reflector and remote ballast. Then mount the 85 watt cfl, up there next to the hps.

in a 5x3x3 room, question is is about 41,000 lumens going to be enough for this size cab. Well if not i can always upgrade to a higher wattage hps, or add another one. (i would prolly get grab another hps and scratch the 85 watt cfl.

anyways, sorry for the long read, any inputs? or idea's to help me get the max out of the cab i am going to build. I will post pictures of the plants later.
