Shut the fuck up, you just recently got your 4x8 tent and you think you are the shit?!? Fill that fucker up first, then talk shit.
oh it will be filled. ;) a 5x5 is just so awkward to get into and shit once u have monsters inside of it that cant be moved. i just said it was cute cuz i knew it would rash ur nipples. lmfao. but seriously im curious as to why he chose a 5x5?

I don't see how a 5x5 is more awkward than a 4x4, and you have 2 of those right?

nope. sold em. wont ever go that small again. although i might get a 2x4 tent for cloning and mom purposes. but thats it. :)
But you DID have (2) 4x4 tents so I don't know why you are talking shit about 5x5 tents. Motherfucking shit talking son of a bitch! :o

Simple 5x5 is the easiest to take care of solo. Its big enough for 1000w light. Holds a 4x4 flood table nicely. Of course eventually i will be in a place where i can set up an actual room.

Simple decision for me - a 5x5 is the biggest tent that I can fit into my garage and still get my car in there. I have 2 inches between my car and the garage door and 0 inches between my car and my tent.

i wouldnt. u should in all honesty buy a nice ballast instead of wasting ur money on cheaper ballasts kits. dont buy a 1000 watt ballast for below $200 becuz u may end up with something ur not happy with in the long run. plus take it from me its a waste of money. if ur going to go cheaper at least spend the money on a nicer hood and ballast. i actually spent the money on this hood and ballast. pretty nice actually. fm is using the hood for the 400 at his casa. i have the ballast in my 4x8 now. kinda wish i bought it as a package now. lmao. sad to say i got the hood for my gallaxy 400 ballast and never used it and gave it away becuz i didnt have the space. :(

bullshit. 0 in between ur car and the dust shroom. lmao.i was just giving u a hard time. it makes sense. it just wouldnt be for a crippled guy like me unless i could get in thru both sides. too deep for me to get the back corners. 4 ft is just enough for me to lean my ass way in this bitch. lol.

How can that ballast have a 1100 watt setting for a 1000 watt bulb? Will that shorten life?

its made to maximize ur bulbs life after a few uses. u would use it say 3 grows regularly and on the 4th grow u would use the super lumens setting or 1100 watts to achieve the most out of ur already dying bulb the last two weeks of flower. and yes it does kill ur bulb life. but if ur a bulb guy like me u will change them out after the third grow anyways.

I need to switch as my last harvest was noticeably light and the bulb seemed dimmer to me.
yeah the most ive run is three harvests on a bulb. ive taken a three harvest bulb out and replaced it with a new bulb and to tell u the truth its noticeably brighter. dont get me wrong its still bright as shit but u can get a decent new 1000 hps bulb on ebay for roughly 40-50 bucks so why not replace em.
