First grow. This setup was going to be used to veg, but my first grow will be a harvest with manual pollination (if i get a male..hopefully I will, damn seed prices)

So, I know the benefits of supplemental side lighting when it comes to CFL, but I decided on a one level hanging fixture.

Open to comments/suggestions/criticism

Light Fixture:

1 week old:

(runt)

12 Days Old + new cabinet and 'reflector':

(runt)

More to come...



Some more specs:

foxfarm OF soil
FF nutes (grow big & tiger)
watering every other day, till run off
205w of CFL

Oh, my bad..I forgot the new cabinet picture.....

PS: forgot ventilation specs, PSU fan at the top, passive intake vent at the bottom, stays pretty cool, even with the new 'reflectors'
