Well it happened - I upgraded...
Sorry guys, moving on up to a 400w.... I kind of figured out I can do it, just required some extra room.
I was super tired of my crappy 250w hood, so I went to the store to look for new hoods only to find the 6 inch reflectors were about 23 inches across with the flanges...
SO I bought a GL80, it's 2'7x2'7x5'11... It's a serious tent! Has windows on the front of it and all.
I'm hooking up a 400w Hortilux with a Super Sun II reflector, galaxy 400w ballast, 6 inch 370cfm inline fan, 400cfm Phresh Filter, and a fan controller... 370cfm will probably be too much for a 400w but I figured the CF is rated for 400, and I'll just put a fan controller on it
The first pineapple express came through the soil today.. I'll call it day 1 when they're both through the soil... I had to plant a newly germenated seed last night as the other one never produced a tap root. The new seed germinated in 20 hours with an inch long tap root
, so it should be coming through next!
Wish me luck folks! I had to push some furniture around for the extra 7inches, but I think it will be worth it...
Thoughts?
