thanks Duck....cfls did me well...im phasing out of them and into led as I can afford too...picked up an advanced led diamond series a couple weeks ago n will grab another after xmas n thatll b the end of my cfl days...awesome and affordable way to start out tho...u can do well w.cfls if u put the time n effort into it n get a lil creative...im in love w my new light tho n so are my plants..heat is no longer an issue n they cover quite well.......
plus that purple lites cool as shit...haha

I do see them as the future of grow lights but until they're cheaper I'll stick with an HPS.

I cldnt get my closet how I needed it to b to battle the heat from hid lighting....w hid id have to run ducting n cut holes in walls or.doors....im pretty sure the wife wldnt go for all that...ha...w the led I can just plug it in n grow...they are expensive...but...the no bulb replacement along w the 92watts of power it draws were attractive reasons as well....I was runnin abt 5-600watts of actual cfl watts to accomplish what the led does w 92watts...n abt 10degrees cooler.

ur welcome bro.....no prblem

Lookin good vega. Just ordered 2 300w panels to replace my 600w hps. Ill still be using it though when i expand but itll have a mh probably since my leds are red dom. This is my first time goin hard with leds and ive only messed with em a few but theyve always looked good. Even the cheap 25w $25 led panels on ebay are nice for clones. And with no heat and no bulbs to replace theyre better than hangin a cfl in your clone box. I still have one from 5 years ago that i use for clones or when i transplant clones or seedlings to a big pot before they hit the HID in veg

thanks man....they are "the shit" imo....ima go w one more like I have or maybe the nxt step up to hang beside this one...that should.cover the whole.closet n stacked three wide n two deep I should b able.to run 6plants at a time....this is my little goal at the moment anyway.

Id set 4 in verticle position and the plants in the center,with one above...watch what happens then.(I tend to over do things)
Nice work tho vega...

I don't count as an HS OG or anything but I feel like I've learned enough from here to contribute.

But looking at Duck's and especially Vega's girls I almost don't want to lol. Seriously good work guys.

This is my tent right now, Blueberry Headband, Green Poison, and Lost Coast OG, all ~16 days in.


And for shits and giggles here's a painting I made in honor of my friend's dog who just passed. She was so awesome RIP.

Nice tent..your temps(if an issue) can be lowered if you didn't use reducers on your hood..more air flows through 6in than 4in...

nice job man...nice setup too....cool painting..."spacedog"...I think theres a strain named after him...
and thanks....

nice painting also..sucks when friends have to leave...best wishes for your friend.

Yay I feel loved!

Rory my temps aren't an issue as long as I don't grow in summer. But my extraction fan is also 300 cfm so the 4" to 6" doesn't affect it too much. But I appreciate the advice.

And thanks Vega! Seriously your girls look amazing. Straight A quality right there. We used to call her "Space Bitch" because even if she was outside she would run in the minute we started smoking. I know their noses are a million times stronger and all but damn she was quick to get inside when we were smoking lol. 12 years ain't too bad for a mutt though.

Spacedog is def a strain...
Vega..picture an entire room where the walls ceilings and floors are led..I've often thought of taking two suntanning beds,place them on their end and make a box...
The things I think of on an outrageous scale...

I can see it now rory...im rite there w ya n its fricken beautiful...except I.dont think we need em on the floor I dont think the plants absorb light.from.the underside of the leaf...but thats all good we'll just squeeze em in up top somewhere..hang em or somthin since the ceilings covered...haha(im.fried excuse me)....

seriously tho I feel ur ideas n thats what it takes for awesome indoor growing imo...creativity...I had abt 600actual watts of cfl(bout 30bulbs) in a 2 x 3 space at one point....I just started in this closet bout a month ago...moved from.diff house...so im just now startin to build it really...u got me convinced I need and want three eventually now...thatll.blow it out.
