Yeah those plants aren't mine :lol: I just grabbed it from one of heath robinson's threads because I knew he had pictures of vertical lights, If you haven't seen one of his grows you should check them out he gets over 2 lbs off a 600 watt :bigjoint: Here's a link

And for the wires I would just zip tie them together, you could also roll them up like a hose if they are to long and zip tie that so at least there mainly out of the way. Also I hope your not running all those lights and fans on the same line cause if you are your probably running to many amps on your line and thats a fire hazard.:fire:

ya, i actaully thought of the hose, and yea, unfortunetly i am running them all in one line, but it's a heavy duty Full protection surge protector so Im pretty confident in it..

i would maybe move the lights down another 2-3 inches and get them plants right in the sweet spot . They look as though they are just outside of the sweet spot to me ..

can do it man, too hot... believe me they are all recieving tons of light. You have to remember this is a 10 sq foot closet, and all the light is being reflected by the white walls as well :-P

Its not the surge protector that is experiencing the draw or possible overdraw in your situation...its the breaker in the wall. That's the hazard. You should really break up the draw to reduce the hazard potential.
The surge protector is protecting the end product (your ballast's, fans and everything else plugged in) from a surge coming thru and frying them. i.e. a "surge" of electricty.
You've got twice the amount of light that you need in there anyways. Save yourself some money and potential fire hazard and ditch one of them.


Girls are looking fine though :hump:

Thanks dude, good advice I didnt know that, I have a circut breaker too. What if I use another outlet for half of the stuff? Also, I was planning on using 800 watts for 2/3 days and 1200 1/3.. is that a bad idea? I mean it really cuts through the canopy well, and I figured it would be better to ripen lower buds..

yea man i know.. the camera i was using was VERY old and shitty. This camera is 1 year old and was $400 +tax so def. better quality. Once I figure out how to actaully use it theyll be even better. :) the kid i traded kept saying "this cameras endorsed by national geographics :lol: "
