but nice plants dude good job and dont let the cardboard catcha blaze...
hey man.thanks for droppin in!

although I am still veggin, for reasons explained in previous posts. I have only used a 4 bulb set up......that is for both veg and flower. I can get 68 watters at 2700 K for flowering...I'll probably put those over the plant after the final transplant..the bigger the roots, the bigger the buds I am currently using the 42 watters because of the lumen output..I may find a way to drop 4 1750 lumen 5000k 27watt bulbs on it too.......I'm a bit tight on time and low on inspiration:stoned: Check the HTG website for bulbs, they have everything....I'm just broke........and relying on home depot

the width of my cab limits me to maybe 2 fixtures.......I will try to design my own hood at some point....temps have not been a problem.steady at 70F.

I would love set up a perpetual system but I have to set up another cab......I have tons of other stuff to do first....

thanks for all the support fellas...:thumbsup:

I have 2 clones at the moment underneath. using the cheapo set up with splitters etc. walls lined with mylar. is this the best lighting setup for this space?? anymore seems to just be inefficient as i don't want to run the cfl's vertical....i want that bit of an angle that the splitters provide.
