Yeah I guess. I go overboard. lol but when he wants to get out of the 2x2 he would be set lol and he could run them cooler by sharing the load. it is summer
I think the OP likes a bit of overkill too. He is bound to expand at some point , we always do... :fire:

haha, decided to take it easy for now.
My initial requirement was to have something cool to leave on for a week while I'm on holiday, my blue cheese auto will be flowering - don't want to leave my 400W HPS unattended.
Got some ceramic auto watering pegs so just going to got a 300W CFL dual or red spectrum bulb (hmm which one?).

LED can wait for a bit I think
Thanks for all the replies & links, some cool kit shared :)

to update, I ended up getting a 450W dual spectrum CFL along with these watering spikes
I used 2 spikes hooked up to 2 x 2ltr water jugs, she only drank half the amount and was quite thirsty when I got back, luckily, the temps from the CFL meant that my tent was 5-6c cooler, averaging around 25c.

She's yellowed a little, but looks OK for a 2 headed auto flower!
Was hoping she'd be a bit more frosty
