Anyone with experience on the blackstar 500? I want to build my next cabinet around this light. My wife and I have an agreement that I will only grow one plant so as not to give her the "drug dealer" impression. I do have my Dr rec, but whatever, Im just going to abide by her rules for now.
So Im thinking of a cab 3'x2', and 5 or 6 feet tall. I'll plan on growing a single plant in 10gal of soil and doing a scrog that entire 3x2 area. The blackstar supposedly can do a 3x2 area, which I'm going to guess is less in reality.
So the questions, will that light do an OK job in that size cab? and how tall does that cab need to be with this light and scrogging a 10 gal bucket? I can make it as tall as I want, but for the sake of exactness, I would make it 5' tall if I knew it was enough. Ive seen some people say they put their BS at 8-10" and some say it needs to be further. I also want to be able to cool the cab with some lower CFM fans, a box is only as stealthy as it sounds!
Thanks for any input!
