Heres pictures of the new closet cabinet thing i got with the new 70w hps. I was using cfls but i just got this new little 70w hps at menards. I am going to figure out how to add my 7 cfls in there too as side lighting.

I checked the plants today and the bigger one on the left has just started shooting out hairs on a node close to the top so i am happy about that. Still waiting on the smaller one to show sex. Has anyone else here grown with a 70w hps before? Im still waiting to hear what yall think about them just being grow with cfls then a 70w hps.

more new pictures, there from yesterday. i now have 5-23w cfls with my 70w hps for 185w total. Theres atleast 15,000 lumens total in there. Ive been slowly adding more cfls and will continue to add them till i get all 8-10 of them in there with the hps, which should be more then enough light for 2 plants. temps are between 80-85 and humidity is between 70-75% there has been a ton of people hatin on the 70w but yall will see soon enough what its capable of.

Looks pretty good for a small stealth grow. Maybe try some type of flowering nutrient in this stage. I have heard of Mollasses to aid the flowering process. I think you should try and enhance the flowering cycle as much as possible to get a better yield

What's up?

I just got a 70w hps myself. Thought it might be enough for my tiny, about to be constructed micro grow closet. I think I am going to add some CFLs. But should I try to find a 150w hps light I could put in my 70w hps lamp. Tell me what you think?

i wouldnt put a bigger bulb in there it might fuck it up. the 70w is doin good for me, if you got the 70w at a hardware store like hom depot or menards or something they should have a 150w bulb and ballast for 100 bucks or less

Thanks!

I got the security light 70 hps. I think it comes with a "ballast." From what I've read on here, others seem to have had success. I am working in a small area, about 42.5" tall x 22" wide x 18.5" deep. I will likely get a few more CFLs, if that is the way to go. Gonna have an exhaust too.

This site is cool and I've been checking out your posts, Batman. Any advice you or anyone else has would be great.
