Nah, not totally correct - Not calling you out, or dogging on you or anything. Just saying your wrong about that one bud. I use ONLY 26W CFL's, and you can go check out some dense fat nugs in my grow if ya want. You just have to KNOW HOW TO USE THEM if your gonna go with the smaller wattage CFL's! lol, I've got a thread I made actually discussing the difference between HIGH wattage and LOW wattage CFL's. It's in my sig if your at all interested.the lower wattage cfls will give you super fluffy buds, but.... it also just depends on were you locate the lights.
Agreed!!!!!That setup is not safe.
It is not about how it works when things are going right, it is about what happens when they go wrong.
Put enough heat into that box and it will melt and dump the light into contact with the plants, the plastic, etc...
Scary...
I mean you've got an HPS now man. For god sakes why not just use a closet instead of a rubermade? lol, It'd be MUCH safer to just set everything up in a closet IMHO! I mean all that is, is 1/8 inch plastic... God forbid, and I pray this doesn't happen, just saying, but your at work and wifey takes a nap. And out of a stroke of bad luck right at that moment in time the light falls..... Fire.....
Totally up to you, but my wife and family and house's safety are much more important to me that fatter, denser, tighter nugs..... Just stick with the CFL's in the rubermade and use it as a VEG chamber. Then put that HPS in a closet and have a flower room. Then you can go perpetual! Which would be better anyways wouldn't it? I harvest 1 plant a month, about 40g's per plant, and I NEVER pay for smoke!..
