Mad,Commander do either of you think 2 of the 75W 2700k's like my 6500k's would be better than the one 150w hps? Or run the 150w hps with 3-4 smaller 25w 2700k? The 2 6500k 75 w bulbs together run cooller than the HPS. I was thinking if I get my ass in gear and run the AC I't wont matter, but what setup would produce best results for buds?

Dude totally didn't see that haha. Well from my new grow I am using two 42w cfls 5000k and one 150w hps and I can say it is growing a near a rate double the last grow. I don't know if the seed is better or it's just the amount of light but wow the hps has mad a dramatic difference. I am hoping that HPS results in a tighter 'denser' buds, to be honest I would use both just because once she hits flower that HPS is going to make the larger difference. During Veg I would assume not as much, but HPS then the CFLs during veg will have a more dramatic impact I feel than just CFLs.

I will let you know when mine hits flower with the new HPS if it makes a difference (I am growing the same strain again).

My temps are running on the warmer side of things but this time I am using an entire closet instead of the rubbermaids. This allows the room to stay cooler, but I still need to get all my fans up and running. Unfortunately the 'door' is just a curtain pined with some thumb tacks haha.

IMG_0340.jpg LOL on the inside of my closet that the cab is in I put up what I call my damping feild which is a black sheet. It's helps out with light and sound.

Random Update


Decided I was dropping the ball and losing light by not having the top of my Res covered. So I cut some off the door at about the same level as the Res. Also been kicking on the HPS for a few hours a day. The Images are a bit deceptive It's as bright as a small sun in there! I put on sun glasses when I stay in there for a while.
