An upgrade sounds good bro, I'm also starting a my first Grow Journal on this site. The grow will be a Papaya SCROG using a 150w HPS and a 65w CFL @6500k in my little 2.5x2.5x3 cab. I already had a harvest of one plant that is drying/curing right now. IT was a top44 plant. Happy NewYear to you guys !!!

Total time from seed to bud?

Those are some amazing CFL grows! It makes me wonder what my new ice will be like. 6 square foot cabinet with 400 hps overhead lighting and 160 watts cool white fluorescent side lighting.

Funny thing, when I turned off the lighting to take these pics, the temperature in the room dropped by several degrees in just a couple minutes!

One plant is a little bushier while the other is not as full as the other. I'll kick them into flower in a few days and see which of the clones taken should be kept.

drsice- 1st of all thanx for the compliment..
i vegged for about 4 weeks.. then flowered her.. so it was approx 90 days from seed to bud..
i got an ounce from her but with better lighting i bet i can do alot better..
not sure about after veg but i know that after flowering she was only about two feet.. with some major lst..

mountainman- thanx for the compliment..
your setup sounds great.. how much vent u have in that cab to keep that 400 cool?
yes your results will be tremendous.. best of luck

Heat is always a problem, I currently use a bathroom fan made to be extra quiet and have higher than normal volume. It still isn't quite as cool as I'd like, but I get by. My cabinet is usually running at around 95-100 degree F when it's on, but I'd like to see it down in the low 90's or upper 80's.

If I could find a low cost, more effective alternative for the cooling, I'd go with it. I already do use electronic ballasts, and those made a huge difference when I made the switch. But the bulb itself still puts out and insane amount of heat.
