I know, I have 6 cfl's and 1 t-5 24" Im sittin on 81.5 with door closed. door open 78 degrees. thats at top cola though and with a very small fan. lower my temps are 73-75 at the soil. and when I water, brings it down to 68-70 for around 7 hours it seems.
no, im sorry,
I was trying to say, you SHOULD go with the 250.
"youll be kickin yourself for NOT (NOT) buying the bigger 250" is what I meant.
I meant youll be angry with your choice later on, if you DONT get the 250.
I'm sayin if you get the 150 youll be sad camper.
Im sayin get the 250 because it has the extra 100 watts over the weaker 150 to hopefully get you a better crop and better hairs without the effort.
Im sayin go 150 if heat will be an issue.
If you go 150, and decide its not enough, you may end up buying/stacking 2 150's together to make 300 watts, or substitute cfl's for side light, when 1 250 is 50 watts less than 2 150's together in a room?
When if you stack 2 250's together, youll have 500 watts. Or whatever, a 250 plus 150, or maybe a 250 plus CFL's.
I'm a noob, please dont take my advice as final say in your room. Im strictly making my choice on watts and heat rather than anything else.
Sounds like a better way to go is 250.
Because let's face it, you probly aint gonna grow much off 100 watts, and 50 more for a total of 150 isn't the best right? I don't know your wallet size, or your baller status. (joke) But were not talking best or worst, were talking watts, love, grow, power, and energy when we love to do this so much and try to the best we can, always in our grows.
Does that make sense?
If my dad needs new brake pads for his car, I never buy him the cheapest ones, I always get 1 step up. Mids grade lol.
I never try to go cheap, sometimes its best to go cheap, some times its not, in this case I'd say get the 1 step up, and get a 250, and get a great yield that I know you are more than capable of!
