So your flower area is 30" tall ? Just asking to try to help.

No worries sir
I'm always open to advice and help.
I worded those dimensions incorrectly. The top or flower area is 48" tall. The cabinet over all is 67"
I'm only trying to improve the lighting situation for flower.
I was thinking 2 citizen 1212 at 3500k and 2 citizen 1212 at 4000k
In the shape of an x and I'd rotate it a quarter turn every couple days.

If I was going the citizen route for flower it would be 3000k 90cri all day. 4 1212s and an hlg 185h c1400 would be good. Hlg240 h c1750 if you want tons of light. Id go 240 as you can always dim.

Thanks for the feedback
I thought mixing the spectrums would give a best of both worlds but I'm no where near educated enough on the differences.
I also thought the hlg 185 was dimmable with a fixed pot on the unit.

All hlg models come in a or b versions. A being dimmer built in the unit b being external 3in1 dimming easiest being 100k potentiometer. Also "c" version is constant current while no c is constant voltage.

@torontoke I've perused the first dozen pages of this, or so, and may God bless you in your endeavors, as well as heal your ailment(s).
Your spirit and good nature translate well through text/your writing. Jah love, stay "good people". We need more like you in this world. You got kids? Spread "the seed".
You may have already shared this, but what, exactly, ails you?
In direct defiance of your health concern(s), may you have innumorous healthy trips around the Sun.
Many blessings and well wishes,
Odin*

Thank you sir.
I truly appreciate your kind words.
My health has been deteriorating rapidly the last couple years.
My dr says I have the spinal cord of an 80yr old. Deteriorating discs, arthritis and compression fractures from a car accident. Something else is wrong upstairs and they can't figure out why I have seizures, and one good one last year destroyed my ankle when I fell.
Still I would rather not dwell on those negatives I'm thankful for every new day of sun I see and get to enjoy.
Limping and in pain is still being alive and for that I'm grateful.
blaze on I shall

@torontoke My neck and back are "shot", probably not where yours are, but bad. After an epidural ("ass" and disc injections failed to ease inflammation) I was told that only cutting the discs and/or fusing vertebrae would solve the problem. Bullshit. Smoking helps. I'm fortunate that I can still lift ("workout"). If you can, start a daily excercise routine. As you progress, intermittently include some weight training into your program. The only time that I am "problem free" is when I am active in the gym. The endorphins released, without any other benefit, are worth it. That being said, the increased blood flow will increase localized healing. Tendons/ligaments/cartilage are not heavily vascularized, so healing in those tissues is almost nil without "artificially" introducing blood. Also, testosterone is a powerful anti inflammatory and increases the metabolic pathways surrounding "healing" and "production". The only activities that promote testosterone production are sleep and vigorous excercise. If you are neglecting one, or both, you are at a fraction of your natural "healing factor" (yeah, like Marvel's "Wolverine").
For reference, my worst "attack" was a full spinal spasm that had me reeling on the floor for 9 hours straight. Pee'd into a milk carton and couldn't "bear down" for the next 10 days. Next episode took me off my feet for three months, when I finally "arose", I hobbled with a severe "S" in my spine. That is when I finally went to my Dr (don't go unless "I'm dying"). Not trying to be a "1 up'r". I highly doubt mine is as severe, just want to help and let you know that I "kinda" (but not to the same extent) know what you're going through.
If you need a few pointers feel free to ask. I just might know a thing, or two, about "a thing, or two".
Peace and love, brother.

I have some disc problems. Nerve problems to. I hate it when a nerve get aggravated. The burning and stinging. I hobble with a limp when it flares up.
Got bad knees to. Did a under pinning job last year where I was on my knees and got fluid buildup and knees got swollen. Couldn't hardly walk for a few weeks.

I feel your pain dude
My discs flare up every other day and there's a different pain higher up in my mid back everyday.
No one can figure it out and they all say my back looks fine cept for the fact that I'm always doubled over and limpy.
My ankle seems like it will never be the same but I guess that's expected with such a bad break.
Oh well
Mj and percs keep me numb and zombified

Like dead center of the back? I got lower disc problems and got a couple vertebrae that are closing up and pinching a nerve.
I had the center back problem start a while back. I know its bad but I'm scared to go find out what is wrong.

I just wish people around here would pull thier heads out of thier asses and legalize. Hemp was a good step and hopefully mj is to follow.
Although I am of the belief there is no such thing as marijuana. It is all hemp. Marijuana is slang and propaganda.

My l2-5 are shot
Bulging and dry. Fluid has all disappeared. Arthrosis in there I've been told.
Mid back like nipple height they said I had compression fractures but they have healed but don't feel like it.

5 of 7 bodhi testers popped.
The lone remaining d cure baby is looking good.
Finally got my dr to sign my forms to legally grow but now I need to move to be able to use the forms.
My current landlord wants me out by the end of November so she can Reno and double her profit.
Guess I should have expected this since nothing good ever happens without 3 or 4 bad things simultaneously.
Oh well on to bigger and better things.
Keep burning everyone I know I will
