It's been a pleasure following your thread. I joined the community to find out about leds and just like some of our colleagues here, i think you've made me a believer. Just like everyone else, heat has always been an issue for me and have always wanted a realistic alternative that wouldn't leave me with wispy fluffy buds. I think I'm going to order my first set asap. I want to start out small with a small stealth grow is a 2x3 space. (I'll have the opportunity to expand to a 4x8 space in a couple months.) For a 2x3 flowering room, do you think a 90w 5 band will be enough? Also, what growing medium are you using? I think I'm going to be using clay grow rocks and vermiculite, hand watered for now. Any advice is most appreciated. -DF

btw...sorry about the spider mites. I hate when they show up. I've been sucessful with neem oil and very diluted dish soap in a water spray bottle.

one big adivce is not to get spider mites!lol.
if it were me and u hade the extra cash i would get the 180w as its more intense on the light, if money is tight then i would rock the 90w. the thing is you can hang the 180w alot closer to ur plants in that area, then if you had a 90w to cover the foot print.

i use sunshine #4 mix soil. i will use nothing els anymore. ive tried lots of diff soil and this one is my fav.

[dizzyFlores]

Thanks for the advice. I think Ill order the 180w, if you think it won;t be too much for the 2x3 space. I can't quite get over the whole thing about not having heat to deal with. It throws me off when trying to think about lighting. God luck with the mites bro! -DF

Quick question. Why do you think your room is so warm? 95+ is getting up there! Do you have any ventilation? I just ordered my 180w ufo and can't wait to convert my small operation to a much cooler situation. Is it just because its summertime or do you have any other heat sources in the microclimate?

peace,
DF

its only because of the summer heat of 100-110F* out side over here. i have ventilation and thats how i think i got the mites. these 180w dont put off that much heat at all. if ur runing hid u will notice a bigdiff.

[dizzyFlores]

no doubt. I have been running a veg room with a 400w mh, and a flower room with 640w hps. The lights and ballasts make it so hot I have to not grow June through August. I realy psyched to swich to led. Can't wait to craigslist my hd and hps lights. -DF
