They make 175 watt versions too that create even less heat. Ive done grows with t5's and honestly the improvement in growth when i switched to HID lighting was tremendous.
this makes me wana get one ! but in my loft i have height issues also so its not just heat ! Im moving soon though so hopefully buy a house with a roof garden or a nice room for my growing :jointsmile: cheers for advice anyway though mate, poss rep :thumbsup:

put them in a milk bottle to hide them and keep them warm. Will also keep some bugs out with they netting on the top of the bottle.

Not expecting too much of the outdoor ones but would be nice if they gave me a little something !
