Amen brother! I just started a grow journal on here, but I'll post a few pics here too. Right now I am using a 150 watt HPS to grow three autoflowers and they are doing great. I ordered another 150 watt HPS and will be getting it next week so I'll be using a dual 150 setup. I plan on adding 5 more Snowryder autos so I'll have 8 plants total under both 150s. I like them because they don't generate so much heat and are cheap to operate. I'm just growing for personal consumption as well plus it's kind of like a hobby for me - better than collecting stamps! Peace.

you should go with 3 gallon pots. i built my own grow tent to roughly the same dimensions you are describing. two plants side by side. (grow journal linked in my sig the 150HPS grow)
I made it work WITHOUT the 125W CFL (FYI I had identical lighting as you
)
Avoid intense training methods and just plan to top around the second node and plan to veg for another week or so after topping. remembering to allow them to grow to 4th or 5th node prior to the snip. (an added benefit of allowing the plant to develop this far prior to topping is the awesome cutting you can use for cloning!!
)
hope this helps you brother.

if its in a hood you can leave the glass..just make sure its clean..or if the area you are growing is cool, and you have a lot of ventilation you can take the glass out, but make sure the temps dont go over 80˚

ok I am having heat problems with my 250W. The thing is my ambient temps are around 80F so it realy hard to keep the temps reasonable with a 250W. So what do you guys suggest, a 150W or some cfls? I could use a cool tube on the hps if necessary. My cabinet measures 30"Hx26"Wx18"D.

Cooltube all the way. That will be the best option to help get your temps under control.

if you can try to drop those temps a bit...try to have an intake and exhause fan..for the exhaust you can hook a fan up to the light hood..suck the air through the hood and vent it out the closet..have another fan bringing in fresh cooler air from another room.
and for the nute burn just give her plain water for about 2 weeks. and when you start feeding again water twice or three times, then give nutes.

the plan
16"x16"x48" tent
150 watt hps
1 plant
bionic organic food
80 cfm fan
home made cool tube
3-5 gallon or hydro not sure
Questions::::::
seeds say 400 - 500g how is that possible. never seen it indoors.
will my temps stay cool with 80 cfm fan pushing air into the cool tube.
could i get 2oz off one plant. if all conditions are great
i get about .5oz off 170 watt cfl 9600 lumens
is .5oz per plant good. with 9600 lumens.
any suggestions would help.
Thank you

2oz is a reasonable yield..when i was growing with 150's i would get about 1-1.5 oz per plant..
Hi,
This is my first grow and I start growing bag seed of NYC diesel under 2 26w cfl and she (hopefully) is now 3 weeks old. Im using fox farm trio pack and got them on the 3rd week of veg. and i did use 1/2 strength of the actual feeding schedule. I received my 150w hps light and still waiting for my fem. snow white seeds. its been 3 days since i moved the plant under 150w and its really getting bigger and bigger. I topped and and fimmed the plant after i did super-cropping and its doing good so far. Here are some pics;

PIC 6 - 08/02
and the rest of the pics - 08/06
