Whats your grow space like?

Edit: went back and looked at your first post I'll comment below.
OK, so you have 2x4 feet. You can go three ways:
1. One 600 watt HID (if heat is not an issue) - less than 2 bills.
2. Three Mars Hydro/Roleadro/Galaxy Hrydro type 300W lights - around $250
3. DIY some Citizen COB's for about $0.40 per watt - I'd go with 8 for a total of 400W

Thanks for the info! I'll look into them! Appreciate it.

The widow before lights out tonight.
Very lovely. In that space the possibilities are endless lighting wise. Since it looks like your only gonna do two at a time I would buy a Cob kit. I was going back and fourth between a Cob kit in a frame or just the diy cob kits and for me the diy kits have more adjustability to get more even coverage vs a framed unit which your kind of stuck with the footprint the framed light already has. I can't wait to get my timber cob kit.

I'm still waiting on my timber citizen kit and when I do I'll start a grow journal running my new setup from seed to harvest. I'm excited. The 200w 4cob citizen kit without frame was 294.50 with an RIU coupon. That's with shipping.
 
These herbs look great! Nice job. When I grew with CFLs the humidity was too high because the heat was too high. Bugs became an issue. I switched to 2x 300watt and 210watt UFO and the 6'LX6'HX2'D room is never under 18deg cel and never over 25. (I am not seeing bugs into two full weeks of budding). LEDs rock! The budding herbs develop quicker and are now never fluffy. The frost...oh gloriouse frost is now covering more leaves making room for smoothy and salad veg containing said frost. Growing with CFLs I had alot more of "just green" trimage.

Yeah im definitely going to get some LED setup. But I haven't had any issues with bugs at all and I'm in week two of flower. Hope it stays that way! Thanks for the feedback!
