Ya that veg master is way more blue than a MH... It is basically a bunch of blue leds.. It's not the best buy but not the worst purchase either.. I wouldn't plan on running it the whole way as I am only getting average results flowering with their 200w bloom booster.. I guess their new stuff is supposed to be a little better but idk?

250 to light the veg tent... could do worse

At a hard time flowering with their bloom booster unit as well but when I do it next to a full cycle unit in a two by two and a half tent all the way up to my 3 by 3 those two provided a bad aspect of land that made some of the best flowers I've ever smoked problem is it's a very small area you're looking at about two and a half by two and a half by 24 inches deep so canopy management is critical with the small lights

Not sure how you know all that without actually only one but I don't quite a few of these lamps in your pretty much right on with your data. You can stretch the bloom booster to a true to buy 2 only in the flowering section of the tent everything else is about 18 square at about 20 inches these lips are awesome for smaller plants Banzai grows in screen of green but definitely not for a tall plant . As far as putting it in a PC case I would recommend against it I've had several of these in several different enclosures and they're all way too hot the only time I've seen a lamp trip a thermal cutoff. My experience gave me a 28 to 35 inch minimum overall height for the grow cabinet to pull off the footprint with these lamps. Didn't mean to hijack or impose just some data good luck guys.

I've heard this might be too hot from several people so far. For those that have actually used this 200w LED light in a small grow area what temperature were you fighting? Do you have any specific examples you can share? I'd like to document all shared data into my grow journal and do my best keep this information for everyone new to growing indoors, like myself. Thanks again for all of the input you guys.

P.S I have my full tower pc case and other main components arriving in the next day or two: Case, intake, outtake fan, 2nd circulation fan, bubble mylar, carbon DIY filter, fan controller/12v conversion, ONA crystals... More to come.

I will be using the Low Stress Training method, keeping the fight far away from the plant. I'm starting with two different strains and seeing how they react. Again, use to grow outdoor with nutes. This is my first inside lowpro grow. I'm excited.

I've learned PC grow boxes are great for many things:
1. Subjectively, a great start to indoor growing under a few conditions, i.e., you purchase inexpensive good working components, you have very limited growing space, or simply lac of privacy.
2. A great way to literally dive into growing marijuana for fun. I used to take ornamental horticulture classes. I like plants, it was fun. That simple!
3. You want to smoke/consume a small portion of the green you grow without going overboard.

Shall I start a new thread to document my PC grow? I want to be THAT beginner that grows into a pot growing nerd and shares his successes with the world in full!

99.99% of you read this and clicked,"Back" immediately. Muahahaha
