It all started with a plant light from wal mart...

Then I realized that didn't get the job done... At all. Then I went and got a T5 set up, had results... Added cfls, got it up to over 300w (5x 23w 5500k, 4x 27w 2700k, and 2x 42 2700ish k. Then I got a homebox 120 and realized I couldn't light it with all my cfls, so I decided I needed an HPS... But wait, my temps will rise... I better get a fan, let's go with a 6 inch inline fan... It smells... Let's get a carbon filter. Then I went out and got all that, put the t5's back in the closet for veg, and hooked all of my new shit up, I plugged it in, and BAM! The lights came on, with out the sound of course, I've been monitoring my temps and it doesn't go past 82. What do you guys think of my new LABORITORY????? I love it, I wish I got an HPS sooner though, any body who's considering getting one, get it, it's hella better than and watts of cfl's in my opinion. Now I'm going to see how many plants I can fit of the biggest height, yet trained in such a way I still get maximum yeild, I'll post some pics about it later, but check this one and let me know what you think.

This is how I'm gonna do my plants under my 400w hps, I figure if I bend them the right way only 1 side will need light, therefore allowing me to fit about 9 plants, possibly more. I know a bunch of you don't think I can grow trees like that, but I'm not trying to go past 3 or 3 1/2 feet, even less for the shrubs and bushes. I just thought you guys might want to peep it. Let me know what you think, and please don't be an ass about it. Peace.

DAMN! Nobody likes my set up or what? Nobody hates it either, is it that lame? Wtf. Well I like it, and I hope to grow some beauties.
 
THANK YOU Electric 'gasm... Thank you very much. I don't know if I've said it yet, but after those 4 flower I'm gonna swap bulbs and veg in it for a while... I'm stoked cause I never used anything more than the cfl/t5s for veg.
