| |  Estimated 30thousand lumen cfl grow | |
Hello all, I am hoping you will all check out my grow area and tell me what you think. I have 3 plants in flower,3 2 week old Barneys Farm Phatt fruity, and a few other bagseed plants that I am growing to test the light. I have one 200w vitalume 6500. I ahve a variety of other bulbs placed around the area. The only change from the pics is that i now have added 2 more 65w(4800lumen) bulbs.I think the combined lumen power is pushing 30,000 or more. The grow are is 5x3x4.5 ft at its peak. I started the larger plants as a begining and have built my grow space around what I thought I saw the plant need as it grew. I realize they have some problem spots, but i have seen how to fix things and that is what i really needed..Let me know what you think.  |

Is that a mylar tent? lol, it looks similar to my first set up. But mine was way smaller, for seedlings. Where is your grow exactly? Your plants look healthy. |

Put your little ones up on books or egg crates or something to get them closer to the lights. |

I have a whole room on an unused third floor.Since i am using cfl's, i wanted to keep it to a more compact size. If i ever get a hps, I will use the whole room most likely.Thanks for the responses. |

Those tents are nice, but if you have a whole 3rd floor I would consider putting up something more white to reflect the light. Maybe a white shower curtain or something, that will make it REALLY bright. |

Dude that dookie cfl in the reflector looks awesome. But with the ballast inside the reflector, and it being vertical, I would worry about frying the ballast way before it's time. |

the reflector is just sitting on the cord. I made sure i was able to use it vertically before I used it like this. There is a fan blowing almost directly on it most of the time, pushing the air out the top.Thanks for the comments though guys, I'd like to hear more.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
