Did the wiring after lunch and it lite up first time with no problems other than I got a headache from too bright of lights shining in my face! I had stood the strip up in corner of room for initial plug-in using surge protector with on/off switch. Damn it was bright. Took 2 Advil and grabbed my sunglasses.

Only installed one set in grow closet as that alone almost tripled the lumen from the seedling 40W tubers. 12 babies in 18 oz soho's don't need all 52,000 lumen yet. They are running hotter than the old 40W ballast tubers which surprised me frankly. Lowered the A/C upstairs but as I said to my wife look on the bright side during winter you can have a warm room with lots of light to hang in...On serious side will probably pick up a cheap window A/C unit since no one lives upstairs - why cool the whole upstairs when no one lives up there; master bedroom down! Children grown and gone. Why cool 1200 sqft when you really need to cool 11 sqft of closet. For now I opened the closet door with a 16" fan on low blowing air for circulation and there is a ceiling fan in the room. Again, not too worried about the loss of light as the plant are small still but they appear to be liking the light.

Side note: do any of you flush your plants on a semi-regular basis? I normally do what I call a semi-flush for watering once a week but then again I punched 3 drain holes in the cup bottom and put 4 slits in the sides 1" long up from bottom so the water just runs out and doesn't just sit in the bottom. Just the way I've done things through the years and it has always given good results.
