If you are skilled enough to actually get an ounce harvest from such a small area you would probably kill it in a normal sized room like a 4x4x7. I bet you could yield at least an elbow each run.

Why don't you just settle for a cx-9 from Johnsongrowlights which is 33% under your 1500 dollar budget in a 4x4 area which also happens to be 33% smaller than your specified 5x5
Fits your "challenge" well enough

I'm happy to wait for this new maximizer. I really want to do a comparison to my gavita. Just pop it in and see if I get the same results. Pretty simple,right?

Well at least you are honest, sorry about your situation man why not get a larger area?
Its totally stealth and I dont live in CO. My only goal is to provide for myself and have enough to share with my friends. I make edibles with the trim and smoke the high quality nugs. I started with cfls but they were crap, moved on to a 70w hps and it was whispy buds at best. Tryed a 100w cmh and it was too hot. Now I am using two cxa3070's with dimming and getting exactly what I want. I wish I could go big and bad ass but my situation doesn't allow for it right now.

I go to CO once a year to drop some money hoping my state see's the tax revenue and gets their head out of their ass but its not working yet.

In an area that small anything but LED's will cause a lot of heat. You may be able to do a 250 watt cool tube but if you're happy with the LEDs just stick with them.

The 100w cmh was cool tubed but it was still to much. I'm currently planning an 18"x36"x72" perpetual cab with the goal of having enough output to have smoke, edibles and ROSIN! It will still be 100% stealth.

Dude, you posted the pic 15 minutes ago, not everyone sits on here every minute waiting to troll like you. To me, it looks the same, maybe a bigger bud.
Good job Colorado, I'm sure it's dankk.

I haven't figured out how I will build my press yet. Do you have a link or info to yours? I tried the hair straightener with crap results. I was going to let the market play itself out and wait and see what comes out on top for personal use.

I use the exact same press that guy does, bought it at home depot for 27$. My hair straightener had broken so I disassembled it and used it, works AMAZING.
