It seems like allot of buckets for that light, but I think that you will do good, and have a good experience.
Oops, have to get off, will fenish later.

I agree that another 1000w HPS would be ideal, but 1000 + 400 in 360 degrees of mylar will have to do for now. (does santa's workshop make grow lights?) Thanks for the temp comment.

right now the footprint of the buckets is about 3.5 x 5.5, with the mylar space being about 4.5 x 6.5.

I wonder what the rewards of some CFL side lights would be?
