bad advice?...ur a dumbass....go to any real indoor grower on here and (first besides the point) ask them if the use bag seeds ( yea i read ur jornal) then ask if they use foil then ask um if they keep there leafs in there pot... ive seen more pot in one harvest then u seen ur whole life so dont tell me...im done also, just hand to stick up for what i know is right.

Real nice looking room. I actually really like the look of the plastic bags but the thing is, if you hold it up and light passes through it, then light is still passing through it when its on your wall. Your room looks white but much of the light is passing right through the plastic and being absorbed as heat by the wall behind it instead of being reflected. Pretty sure you can get panda film for pretty cheap and it's essentially just thick white plastic. Reflects great and gives a great waterproof seal.

Is it so hard for you to comprehend that people do things different ways , yes there is right and wrongs and better ways to do things , the end of the day its an information forum and i dont see the need for your bad attitude on some else's thread , advise him sure but settle down , i happen to like this thread.Peace!

can u show a pic of ur light placment?That side lighting is 50% 10.0 UV bulbs

It's on page 23 and I believe 21. Half of the bulbs of the side lighting are 6500K and the rest are 10.0 UV bulbs. Up top is a HPS/MH.

I run em 12/12 just like the rest of my lights. They are actually lower wattage than the standard CFL UV bulb and they are also for reptiles.
If you want to use a single large UV bulb Id grab one of these - http://www.reptileuv.com/megaray-sb-160-watt-self-ballasted-flood-zoo-lamp.php

Ok I've seen them.. The one major thing keeping me from doing some UVB is I haven't had the height to allow for the distace on the CFL's.
The lower wattage options might be a good alternative for my space limitations... will have to check it out on my next round - thanks for the quick reply.

I've used the CFLs before and you don't need much room at all with them. You can keep them just as close as a standard CFL and they will not damage the plant. I have buds laying straight on my tubes, the UV doesn't harm them at all. I wouldn't recommend that with the CFLs though as the run much hotter thermally

Great pictures! Can you tell me EXACTLY how you got the pics. Was it taken on a DSLR or a point and shoot with a macro mode? I have a pretty nice DSLR with a flash and some tubes. Any recommended settings? I'm harvesting in about 2 weeks, so I could take them outside for a photo shoot just before they meet The Hangman. I'd love to get some shots now, while they're still in the room. The lighting there is a challenge though.That side lighting is 50% 10.0 UV bulbs

Thank you. They are actually taken on a pretty cheap old Cannon Powershot. I switch between digital macro and the standard macro setting and fool around alot with photo size (correlates with exposure time on digital cameras), ISO speed, and camera light settings. I also take both digital macros with digital zoom as well as larger file size macros and manually zoom in a photo editing program. I have a feeling many of my photos benefit greatly from my 6500K and UV side lighting - when in doubt throw on a MH bulb. And always take tons of photos - I toss 5+ photos for everyone I keep when dealing with closeups.

hhahaa i have a board light too.. but check out home depot.. they have the little 2' ft. T5 fixtures so i bought 4 and wired it into an extension cord,, it was bright as fuck i vegged 25 plants in cups undere it untill i tried tounhook it and busted up the cheap plastic endpeices that the bulbs fit into... im gonna go with something that has a lip to recess fixtures so they wont break next time.. =)
