Figured I should start a journal on this one. Just finished up the tent and decided it was time. This whole grow is diy the tent is made from a bed some spare fan parts lots of plastic and tape and a few staples haha. Some may call my tactics ghetto I say suck it cause I'm running 650w optimally and EVERYTHING down to the nutes in total has cost me as of yesterday $312.63 that includes lighting venting everything. Ill be running a 400w metal halide and a 250w metal halide both made by me personally totaling 96 dollars plus another 40 for the bulbs and shipping. Scored the reflector from a Buddy retiring from the trade (as well as a lot of other stuff)its too damn small so ill be making a new one soon that will cover most the tent and house both bulbs. More to come on that. Ill go into much more detail in the morning as well as load more pics but its lights out atm. The strains are super silver haze purple erkel and a mystery super skunky bagseed. I'm almost afraid to flower it cause it fuckin reeks in veg. As well ill be picking up a bubblegum clone tomorrow or the next day. They are all about 35? Days into veg but they were all crammed under a 54w t5 til today so they're small but there gonna take off once I get a hood that can cover that area. Wish I could find a good deal on a 600w.

good luck man..looks like you have a plan and a setup...now its time to GROW!!! get to work, good luck. are you going to run metal halides for everything, or will you be using a hps for flowering?

Thanks man. I'm stoked. Yeah ill be using metal halides all the way through. I MAY add a 600 hps in flower on top of the 650 of mh but well see. Here's a few quick pics of the 400w diy ballast and the ladies lovin there new home
