Nice grow-room, though I might be a bit worried having those 2 power supplies in the actual grow-room, dont they get super-hot under those lights as well?

Good luck!

Thanks for dropping by. Yes the clones are very wet. I am under the impression that the humidity needs to be kept up while they are taking root. The light they are under is only about 25W from an energy saving bulb. The bulb isn't of the right spectrum in all honesty. I'm just using it to try and get them rooted then I'll either introduce them to 250W of MH or 600W of HPS. I don't think they are getting heat damage from the light.

As for the yellowing. I don't think the clones are experiencing nutrient shutdown as the supplier told me that he hasn't fed them anything. I think that if anything the clones are lacking from deprivation and not over indulgence.

I've always kept the control gear in the same room as the Gro-Op. With adequate air extraction, the heat from 2 ballast shouldn't really become and issue. Other Gardens have seen six 600W ballasts on the floor which didn't cause a heat problem, while other Gardens have five 600W ballast shelved at ceiling height. Two 600W ballasts shelved at head height, I'm hoping will be fine. The light may not need to be retracted to head height, thereby allowing the ballast to always be within the shadow of the lighting.

Thanks for checking this thread, and I hope you continue to visit and leave comments.

This time I am working in a smaller space approximately 5' x 8' in measure, which is actually a custom partition in a small bedroom. The room has been implemented from scratch. A 4" x 2" timber frame was cut to fit, MDF panels were cut to fit, and a custom sliding door was installed due to space issues. The Garden has 2 x 160mm unfiltered air inlets from outside. Rating: 5
