Sounds like it should be a great christmas for you, Ive only been growing indoors for about 2yrs know but I havent tried any sort of hydro quite yet, for now I love having that buffer from the soil but I'll have to bite the bullet sometime and go hydro, much more efficient. I think I might have to go with a bubbleponics set up since Im pretty familiar with an easy design that I could build myself, just basicly a bigger version of my cloner I built from the stinkbuddies design, or I may just stick with soil cause I like getting dirty. About the same time as you, after harvest sometime, Im adding on to my grow room so its more than double its size now and probably be split so I can have a seperate veg/seedling room with a bigger flowering room. I have quite a bit of extra equipment when it comes to bulbs, hoods and ballasts, some I bought new about a year ago, but cool thing is my good friend is tatoo aritst and trades work with local hydro-grow shop who hooks up all kinds of new or barely used gear, Im actually thinking about doing a hps/led combined grow if I can get the led panels in a trade, saw some great results in a buddies led room, totally changed my lack luster opinion of led's to the point I might give them a try, just not on there own. You know anything about cool plasma, or just plasma lights (bulbs), Im trying to find a plasma grow even if their just growing vegetables, supposedly can get more than 5times the amount of useable lumens, cant remember the ratio or how they explained it but check out plasma grow lights, seems like they'll be the next big thing.
