I have a similar cab, wider but not as tall. I built pretty much the same light. Now, I've replaced them with a pair of QB120 boards. Mounted on screws, screwed into the top with an inch of airspace between the boards and the top of the cab.

I'm running them @40 watts each wired in parallel. They put out 4 times the light those bulbs do! I payed $72 shipped for the pair, the driver I got on sale, a HLG80H-54. It will take these boards to 50 watts each. Cost me $25 shipped. WELL worth the upgrade! I only breed in my cab but even mt seed plants had FAT hard buds. Well worth the $100.00. And no heatsinks needed!

might be worth the upgrade to you!

Day 67, these were taken a few days ago but I have not had the chance to post them until today.

The buds have fattened up a lot over the last week or so. They also seem to have started to have a really nice bluey / purple in them, but it doesn't really show on the pics. I like the looks of this plant a lot.

I have also added a few pics of my actual cabinet as @MasterOf Arts was interested, and it might give someone else ideas or help in the future. Growing in a 28" wide by 15" deep by 32" high converted set of drawers. Lights are basically 12 store bought led bulbs with the globes taken off, 154w in total. Screwed to a wooden frame and hung from the ceiling with a chain so I can adjust if needed. Lights are roughly 6" from canopy at the end of the grows, can't go any further away! That is why I LST and try to grow small, compact plants.

My carbon filter is a homemade 12" x 6" x 2" wooden frame. I put a wire mesh on the bottom, then 2 sheets of carbon cooker hood filter, then roughly 1-1.25" of carbon pellets, another carbon sheet on top, taped it so nothing gets sucked up by the fan, and then screwed it to a hole in the ceiling and sealed so no air can bypass the filter. I have a 4" wall flange on the top outside my cabinet. Attached a 4" plastic bend to that then a 4" red scorpion fan with a bit of ducting to take old air well away from my intake areas. I just unscrew and swap the carbon every couple of grows, and it seems to do the business. Because there is a 1" gap between my carbon and the flange, the air gets sucked through all the carbon, not just the bit directly underneath the hole, so there is an even airflow.

Plant is on the left on the group shot.

She's in a 15 gallon tote filled with organic soil. no nutrients other than that in the soil!

Mega kicks ass! I've been using Mega for 4 grows now. I use to grow organic mostly, because its simple and simple is the most problem free. I've wanted a 1 part, all inclusive nutrient, no need for measuring 47 ingredients and neededing a shed to store your nutes in like them bottle feed growers lol! And compared to any manufactured nutrients I've ever used, I've had NOT ONE nutrient related issue!

I don't understand the 35 dollars for shipping for a 230g bag. I probably won't order any just because of that. My fox farms trio pack for shipping and the product is 40.

It's only $9 for me to fly a 230g bag all the way to the UK. I would double check you got the right sized bag, or there isn't more than 1 product in your cart, because something isn't right with that shipping price. Also, I assume you already saw it on the website, but there is a promo code to get the 230g bag free.

I have four blue dreams 2 are behind the others. one is slower alot slower then all of them and I am going to put the mega crop to the test. I will start the feedings with mega crop to the smaller ones and the FF trio pack on the other two and see if the mega crop puts them right with the larger ones

no nutrient is likely to make a runt catch up, but may help it grow to a decent size.

That is what I'm saying I'm really putting it to the test I don't expect a miracle genetics are genetics but maybe instead what I will do is I got two smaller ones each I will feed mega crop and the other ff.f the same with the bigger ones so it's a more even test.

I've never been big on defoliation but decided to hack up these girls a bit lol! I took mostly the fan leaves from the inside of the canopy and left one major fan leaf down low where it doesn't block light. Well see how the turn out!

Day fourteen. They are all getting a liter of water once every two to 3 days except for the smallest it's getting a little less. Fed them half dose of FF big bloom last night for first time. Ph 6.3. Do these look up to par for the day they are on? Any critiques? I'm doing 20/4. The bigger plants are the kush I got going never mins them
