hey everyone ive been reading the thread and gotta say good work to everyone
im getting a 4ft 4bulb or 4ft 6bulb in the next few weeks then about a month after that when i get some more money im getting a2ft 6 bulb to keep my 2 mothers under
the 4ft (watever bulb i choose) is going in a 4/2/5 tent and will be my flower room and ghe 2ft will be in my closet

I use comair muffin fans (standard electronic component cooling fans like what you'd find in a server rack, i think they're 185 cfm, cheap on ebay) when I used a 4 bulb I had one exhaust up top that ran whenever the lights were on. With enough intake holes that would probably be enough to work well alone. I had another fan for intake that ran 24/7 on 30min intervals on/off. When I went to the 8 bulb I switched the exhaust to 24/7 and the intake to on when the lights are on. figure 4x2x5= 40 cubic feet. 200cfm fan will exchange the entire contents every 20-25 seconds... you'll be fine. a little fan to circulate over your leaves would be perfect too. You can literally touch the bulb without burning your hand, if a leaf grows onto a bulb it will burn the surface that touches the bulb itself, but thats all... not like if you get a top too close to a HID and the top 8 inches gets fried and your plant gets stressed/stunted/dies.

check out these t5's they run for the same price as badboys. they run on 120 and 240 also and are linkable. I first read about these lights in maximum yield

I found pricing on a site called http://www.newerasupply.com/index.ph...products_id=96

I don't like the way most of these T5 grows are looking. Sadly.

I agree. The only ones that were good were mine and profs. Mursh should have vegged longer, petflora is still in flower, undercover as not flowered yet. Also it depends on the strain too. I do moms for all my strains. Ive probably gotten rid of 10 strains I didnt like. My point is that it takes a long time and a lot of trial and error to find the right one. Also alot of people jump in with out knowing anything about horticulture..
Right now I have 3 new strains that are 2 to 3 weeks away from being done. They look awesome. Master kush, bubba kush, and soma rockbud. Mastr I got from dutchpassion, rock bud is from soma seeds and bubba is bag seed. I think im going to get more with less plants than I did last batch.

Those are wack. Look at the dimensions. The 8 bulb is 17 inches wide when the 4 bulb is 13 inches wide. I know all about growzebo. You are better off getting 2 4 bulbs from him. My badboy 8 bulb is 24 inches wide. If you want a good deal there are 6 bulbs on ebay for 120 plus shipping. They are 18 inches wide.

Those are the ones I have, and I'd agree that 2 4bulbs would be better for light dist, but for a single 2x4 tent the 8bulb works pretty damn well and still lights 8 bulbs... vs the price of a BadBoy... i dunno.
Even Im disappointed w my grow so far... only because I have shitty mexican bag seeds. I cant order quality seeds and have almost 0 sources for seeds from friends. So Im stuck with luck of the draw. 12 seedlings and 3 females
Just to show why Im growing, and what Im trying to get away from...and the source of my seeds
<-- Thats a fucking ounce. hard as a rock and needs to be cut with small bolt cutters before it can be grinded. Tastes faintly like gasoline. Im tired of supporting the fucking cartels. Too healthy to get a med card. Im stuck.

I broke a little flake off to make it exactly an oz/28g too. most of the seeds are crushed ... Qp for 190, and I go through an O a week by myself. so $200 a month for this shit? And Im trying to grow 8oz every 2 months from these seeds???
