It should be OK, keep in mind the 150 isnt gonna penetrate the canopy very well .....i'd learn about SOG or LST to maximize the lights potential

sativafan- youd be much better off with a 4oo wat in that amount of space, i heard 150 wats are only good for up to 12" radius, so yeah your gana want 400wats at least.

Heres an update-

Church at 12 days flowering. The last to shots are of my one Big Bud X Blackberry X Kush, and it has the solid cola thing going on where the church like to bush out a bit.:weed:

Any opinions are considedered, this is my first tracked grow so im curious how they are doing for 12 days flowering..

Well, I don't exactly grow mj. However I did just recently upgrade my "garden" to a 150w hps, in addition to my old a pair of 55w PLL flouros. I hope to use this setup one day to grow pot just not the right time now...The guy at the hydro shop talked me into getting the Sun System 150w HPS, which was actually a decent deal I thought at ~$80. I just have one fatalli pepper plant in the tent right now. Today I cut a hole in the side of the sunsystem reflector and bolted on a PC fan, dunno it it will help any but worth a try...Heres my current journal/thread https://www.rollitup.org/gardening/199228-bleus-2009-hydro-garden.html



So..Can I be in the club?

hey man, i just started my first pepper plants and to be honest...i'm more excited about them than i am my current crop of mj just for the fact that i haven't grown peppers before. cultivation is a beautiful process to partake in regardless of the species! welcome to the club.

Ya i agree that peper grow is looking good. i havnt mastered the my jalepeno pepper plant yet, peppers seem reall picky, i learned they love very dry conditions so far... but yea man, cool little setup.

Thats damn good for 12 days, I onece had a dream about the strain "Church"..I was in the city getting seeds. Hasn't came true yet.

Cool thanks man, i should have updates tonight to.

I took some premy samples and they set me pretty good, its a reall chill, kind of creative high.

You should post your grow man, why not? Sounds like your legal anyways, even if not, id have to call you a paranoid nut if your trippin your going to get busted. I had a Detective figure out my last 150w grow and they said it was so small they were gana let me go without charges if i killed all the plants.

Cool setup man, i want to try scrog one of these days... Man theres one thing id do for sure there though, move that light hella closer. The farthest i keep my plants from my 150 is 12', but pretty much all of them are within 4-5 inches. And the buds that get in the 3-4 inch range go buts, i have some side buds that get close to the light, bigger than the main cola. Jus
