Hey bro what good is your fan gonna do on top of the lights????

Set a fan to blow right across the canopy of the plants between the lights. You can get the lights with in 1/2" with good breeze.

I like the arena setup you have created.

But you're really gonna need to blow the air both across the plant tops and out of the arena.

Nice work.

Your lights are fine for right now and should be fine for the next 3 or 4 weeks if you keep them really really close to the foilage, which you can with the fan.

I still prefer CFL over MH for veggin indoors but just get a 600W HPS for flower and you'll be fine.

Hey THX

there is a fan on pot level blowing accross 4 pots.
the fan blowing down actually blows a round a little itself and blows the lights just a bit.. its also moving air around in there..its just circulating air around.
its staying pretty cool below those lights..

with more lighting I can face the fan to blow away if heat needs to be pulled away.. Got room for more fans too.

sooo should I get one or more shop light with two 4 ft bulbs?
OR
get the cheapest deal I can find on HID which means 1000w?


CFL is what?

[AngryJohnny]

how bout 400w setup MH for veggie with the 4 flouros bulbs have going?
could arange the flouros on the sides with MH in the middle shining down.

With this setup am able to move things very easy.. plants lights fans.

then have the HPS 400w for flowerin... could the flouros be used along with HPS also ? on the sides?


If get the set with MH and HPS, what else needs to be added?


thx for the help

CFL are true Compact Florescents.

THey are very expensive to get the good proper ones, but they are superior to the cheapos running around.

Here is the deal though angry johnny.

(man I luv that fucking name dude...dont know why but I do )

You are going to need an HID to flower NO MATTER what you use for flowering.

But 1000W is overkill for the 4 plants you have.

Beleive it or not, there is some solid evidence that flowering WITH BOTH HPS AND MH produce a more potent resin, than flowering with HPS alone.

The over lapping light spectrum is ideal for resin production.

So if I were you, or you were me, I would go for a DUAL MH & HPS setup for flowering and get some CFL for vegging and lose the tubes you got.

Thats if budget isnt an issue....

These are the lights you want for vegging:

1 for each plant will do you very well...very very well.... You can use for full veg cycle with these.

If you wish to use MH/HPS setup for flowering or just HPS I think this is the best place with price from reputable dealer who stands beside what they sell...

http://discounthydro.com/superspectrum.asp

Again, flowering is superior for resin production with overlapping light spectrum. Primarily because of the MH discharge of UV Rays.

MJ plants apparently use resin production to protect from UV Rays....the MH will add to that...

So, if budget is not an issue, buy the 125W Full Spectrum CFL fro vegging...one per plant and buy the MH / HPS combo Superspecturm for flower.

If you wanna be cheap, just add or plan on adding 4 to 6 more of those tubes that you have now and get an MH/HPS Superspectrum for flower stage.

Really if budget isnt an issue its pretty simple.

Hope I helped......
