Looking really nice, man. I've started to really like fluoros, too. You pay a little more money in electricity to get the same amount of light but you don't have to do nearly as much to keep them cool. Keep it up!!!:joint:

I mean you need more wattage per lumen of output when using fluoros vs. HID systems. You would need like 600 watts of fluoro light to equal the lumens from 400 watts of MH. But we're maybe talking $8-10 of electricity difference each month. No big deal.

Wassup Cheetah!! So you got your baby growing eh....

Dont know about those floros... But i have to say man... I wired up 4 of the 26 watt ones on my vegging and it did great... I just put that blueberry plant that i was vegging outside since its vegging time here ..... It is taking off quite nice.... Im going to post some pics of my outside plant finally in my grow journal... I have to say man...there just isnt any sub for the sun man....

Too small of a grow cab?... not sure if i got your demensions right, But i think you are growing in about the same space as me... well maybe not as tall... mine is only 18 inches deep and 3 feet wide...it is 6 foot tall ...but the top 2 feet are for the vegging... so i guess not too much off... but you might be right about it not being tall enough... then again.. if you scrog or LST her good then she wont be tooo tall...

By the way... i topped mine wayyy early... and it is looking awsome... ill post some pics of that one too so you can see what she looks like... I would top now if i were you man.. not seeign alot of branching on her..... you want more branches brotha.....

are you gonna scrog or lst?

yeah i just measured mine again to see how much room i used.... the top of the reflector where you would connect to the top?..lol... is exactly 4 feet..

ok better measurments bro... hold on..



10 11 18 and 12...

OK so here is what i got going man..


the bucket im using for dwc is 10 inches tall... then the net is 11 inches above that..(you could make that between 8 and 12 inches.)..... from the net to the glass ended up being 18 inches... and the tops of the buds are 11 3/4 inches from the glass.. that means that with my strain (the purps) it grew about 7 inches above the net ... 7inch buds arent bad...

anyway man i hope this helps.. I am running a 400 hps of course...
