I remember seeing someone's journal on riu - he had SOG in 2L soda bottle hempy buckets with top colas bigger than soda cans. Impressed me. I can't remember who that was.

Nice thread! I've been drooling over the PG's for a couple months now, but I'm in a tight spot financially at the moment so I'm gonna haf to stick with my three 4' double flouro tube fixtures (non-compact F40PL/AQ plant and aquarium) and my 28 Watt LED fixture for blooming for a while. The 4'...
