Thanks for your info. I have not planted yet. I was planning on using those Procyon 100 lights so I would not have to worry about heat or electricity. But after reading for awhile it seems that this is technology that still needs more refinement. I have to spend some cash to get started so I don't want to risk having a bad crop. With 1000W lights growth is pretty certain. Nice growth actually. I lost my whole business and savings because of the economy. Over $315k is simply gone. Very bad for me and my family. But I know I am not the only one that has been hurt badly by the global meltdown. So I just need certainty in my life. And 1000k lights are very reliable.

I was doing research and watching those cop documentarys on spike TV for free. They have some episodes using those FLIR scanners. I saw one grow op that stood out like a glowing christmas tree. They did a scan of 10 blocks from helicoptor and that house stood way way out. Even in the basement. They were not using cool tubes btw. So I wanted to reduce risk.

So I thought if I can't use LED's then I must do something else. The cool tubes I just found a few days ago. Still don't know too much about them. But I know the 1000W lights are very hot. So I would be afraid to use them without a cool tube. I think the safest method is to use these cool tubes in a basement room that is insulated well and cool.

For electrical use I am thinking of buying a bio/diesel generator that is quiet. I still must research more about brands, power needed, noise level, and where to put such a device. This is a complex art really. Growers really are knowledgable. I have deep respect for the Canadian professionals. They have it down to a science. I think it is a great opportunity for regular people to make money they can live on and also work with nature. I wonder how different the feeling is to ingest cannabis via brownie vs smoking with a vaporizer? I think that eating it is not harmful at all to the body. Like shrooms.
