Hey Guys!

Well it's time for an update I think!

So my 150w HPS finally arrived! 12 days after ordering and a lot of stress and hassle for me as I thought It was never going to arrive!

I got to work right away and got my 'BUD' box up and running.... I managed to sort out all the kinks and I'm pretty pleased with it!

The heat from the 150w hps was not too intense but to counter any heat issues I've got a small oscillating fan blowing over the tops of the girls and and I invested in another £15 bathroom fan from B&Q which does the job of an inline fan admirably!

(blowing in cool air from the attic for 15mins every half hour)

Temps are sitting at 25 celcius...:thumbsup:

To counter any light leakage I've got a german army poncho hung up to make a good seal and It is totally lightproof.... Its a shame I couldnt get something more reflective and less...well...green...but hey I'm on a budget and it does the job well.

here are some pics:












My girls are looking well... a little bit more stretched than I would like but hey...its my first time...

So I was going to re-pot the girls but I wasnt sure of the stress this would create so instead I have cut the bottom away from my homemade (water bottle wrapped in foil) pots and doubled them up on one and placed the other into an ice cread tub..... kinda hard to describe but a picture says a thousand words.....

The only other tweak I have made to my set up is that i've now got a sheet of perspex in my veg box so I can get my new girl (G13 pineapple express) closer to the light.... I realise I accidently deleted the pics I had up of my veg box...so i'll get some more up for anyone who is interested as a.s.a.p.

As always any advice and comments are always welcome!

Cheers!
