@eastcoastmo check out cutter.com. They have cob kits that are almost plug and play and step by step instructions for how to put it all together. Plus it's sorta modular so you can go bit by bit. Make the switch and you'll see tremendous heat savings. I run 200w in less than 6sqft with under 5ft of headroom and temps hold at 82 all year
Thanks man, just had a look!! Think that may be the best option hey! That and the Aussie company that @PerroVerde suggested as well :)

Lol cutter is the Aussie based company. That's why I recommended it for you, although I screwed up on the web address. It really doesn't get any easier than their kit. If you're fairly handy and have a few tools you can put one together in a day. The hardest part for me was sourcing the m3 and m3.5 screws since I only bought the heatsinks and not the kit.

LOL I didn't even notice, it was 4:30am this morning when I saw it though, so I was still too stoned ha ha. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
Nah, cheers mate, I can be handy so shouldn't have too many troubles!!

Look there incandescent is as energy efficient as leds...

http://news.mit.edu/2016/nanophotonic-incandescent-light-bulbs-0111

One key to their success was designing a photonic crystal that works for a very wide range of wavelengths and angles. The photonic crystal itself is made as a stack of thin layers, deposited on a substrate. “When you put together layers, with the right thicknesses and sequence,” Ilic explains, you can get very efficient tuning of how the material interacts with light. In their system, the desired visible wavelengths pass right through the material and on out of the bulb, but the infrared wavelengths get reflected as if from a mirror. They then travel back to the filament, adding more heat that then gets converted to more light. Since only the visible ever gets out, the heat just keeps bouncing back in toward the filament until it finally ends up as visible light.

Wow, that's pretty damn cool! You're right too, down the track, it will be very useful to growers :)

@tonygreen mate, what is your take on whorled phyllotaxy and potency? I've got a male and a female skunk plant (from very old seeds) that are showing whorled phyllotaxy with 4 leaves. I've been reading up and Jorge Cervantes' experience with them was that they lacked in yield but otherwise were ok. There are also rumours that they have increased potency. I'm wondering if you have any experience with them? Reason I ask is, I'm planning to use a skunk male to cross to an old afghani and a sensi jack herer (as well as a couple of my own TK x Nightcap crosses) and I really don't want to breed in a mutation that could screw up the yield or potency. Thanks champ :-D

Yo I dont think it has anything to do with potency tbh. I feel like its a structural thing. Thats where I have it categorized for scoring and testing.

Thanks mate! Would be a less desirable trait for you?

Man those nugs look delicious! That bush is massive (look at those massive fans!!) And that last bud is so damn frosty I reckon frosty the snowman might consider trying to throw his leg over it :lol:

Not at all if everything else was there. The progeny certainly won't all express that trait anyway and thats where youll be lookin for yer keepers.

Those are the extreme resin producers i told yas to keep an eye out for!
Even the other phenos are excellent producers but sme are simply extravagant. Similar to dans #4 in production! Epic!

Just the answer I was looking for mate, thank you :)

Yeah that bud is just ridiculous!! Is it grown under HPS or LED? Keep up the good work Tony, your gear is the bomb!!
