hahaha.. yes, blue ricordia!
Thanx guys. I definetly will look into a 400W setup then. I could make the 4x4 space smaller by adding a second section for flowering only, maybe the 175's would work.. I was just hoping to use stuff I already had..

DO you guys have any reccomendations on bulb brands preference or K ratings?
I was thinking MH around 5600K would be ideal for Vegging, but I wouldnt know where to go for HPS bulbs...

its a very natural transition from reefing to reefer!
