    Design is everything.. lighting needed?

    Actually bulb burns hotter because of the combustion of gases inside... but doesn't actually put off more heat... it puts of less ambient heat to ur grow room.. probably be well suited for your operation.. hearing and reading very good things about cmh.

    Design is everything.. lighting needed?

    DE HPS light fixtures.. Yield lab, Nanolux, or gavita???

    fox farms nute problem? or tapwater?
