Hi MegaOctane - yep, I lke to be detailed. Hopefully someone can pick up on some of my questions, so they stop piling up. That is one of the reasons I started this log, to help fill the gaps along the way.

blue_ox - what kind of venting are you using? I was told, using the fan that I picked up, that temperature inside the tent shouldn't be more than ~9F than room temperature, but that was just the 600w lamp. I've since picked up a T5, which I'm thinking of using for side lighting, once I switch to flowering and put the HPS on top.

I am also, considering switching to a cabinet, instead of the HydroHut. I figured a cabinet would be a little more stealth, but I'm still on the fence. I need to make a decision after this week. How do you like the tent so far?
