    Default Good bye cfls hello hps

    Hey guys it's been awhile since I've posted anything but I'm back now! I've upgraded the size of my grow area form my start in the rubber maid tubs with cfls to a cabinet that was 40in x20in x7ft with more cfls haha. Now I've started building my new baby she's 4x4x6 constructed from 2x2.
    I'm going to be running with..
    600watt hps with a C.A.P digital ballast
    8in 747CFM C.A.P fan
    Fan controller
    I'll be building a scrubber and a housing for the fan to dampin the sound and vibration. This go around I'll run soil but the next will prob be ebb set up! I'll post pics soon

    i wouldnt say goodbye to the cfls completely. They are quite good for vegging. Then switch to hps for flowering
    Everything I say and post isn't real. I am only saying all of this to be cool and i definitely do not grow or smoke marijuana.

    I recently said good bye to CFLs too, got a 5x5x6 setup with a 1000 watter . Plants seem to be growing real fast although they're only like a week old. Good luck with your grow! Like said above it might be worth it to keep your CFL enclosure for clones/seedlings for a lill bit to save electricity

    That's if there all from diff plants but mine will be from the same plant so in theory it'll be idinacal as the last. It my own hybrid Ive made so the first run will determan how long they'll need and I'll adjust from there to make it work. Once I fig out how to upload pics from an I touch I'll post pics.
