Plenty of room for two plants using scrog for growing. 150W of light will work well for this, 250W would add more light but also more heat. How are you going to control odor?

You know I had forgotten I had a PSU already setup as a benchtop PS, the current and voltage should be more stable than a wall wart I'd imagine.

I'm a DIY type of person, if I can build it, I will :) As far as toasting them, that's part of learning how to do it better :D

Well these are $16/ea ($15/ea when ordering 10+) and I'm thinking I could get away with 5 for a small grow. I wish I could find some 440nm ones though, instead I might have to use 400nm :/ and the 400nm LEDs by the same company are only sold in quantities of 10! How would you guys go about...

Have you guys seen this beast?? I'm thinking of ordering some on the 1st to test out and wanted to see if anyone else had tried these... Here is the datasheet: http://www.ledengin.com/files/products/LZ4/LZ4-00R200.pdf

An Oz for $180?? I remember when it cost $300 an Oz?! have prices gone down that much in five years or something else?? And its to bad that LEO is going after these places, some people have no other choice.

I have no doubt that CFLs work great from some of the sweet threads on here, I'd rather spend $100 on lighting than $300+ on lighting and cooling ya know?! ;) So each light has its own extension cord going into a socket plug thingy? That's a great idea! and o'well about the ghetto-ness, if it...

lol I used to live in spokompton! happen to know a few growers up there, like my ex wife and her friends :P on a side note, can you have grow cards for different states?? I have mine for down here and wouldn't mind getting on for up there as well.

There happens to be a thread here on RIU that may help :) Calculate power consumption

You are better at carpentry than I am for sure! every time I've tried to build a box, it never fits together! I like how you hung your lights... What is it that attached to the 2 way socket? cant tell very well from the pics. Also whats the PH of your soil? I've heard that home made compost...

Looking good! I'm about to do an all CFL grow myself, How are your lamps attached? also, mercury is pretty nasty stuff... even the fumes from it can effect you! stay safe man.

Woah thanks guy for all the great sugestions!! To be honest, I was kinda worried about how helpful people would be based solely on some of the other threads here :/ I guess I needn't worry though! :D and UncleBuck, your location cracks me up!! Also I wont be ready for another 3 weeks or so, but...

Also, if you guys wouldn't mind helping me a bit more, I'd like some input on my cabinet I'm going to build: Medical Cabinet

Flowering time isn't an issue for me, I plan to have a perpetual SOG grow. I did some research on TD, It looks rather amazing! I'm not interested in the Amnesia though... Can I get in contact with you in three weeks?

Cool thanks guys! :) I would really like to try making hash and some edibles. Trading sounds like a great idea since I'll only be growing one strain, which is still to be determined. I know I'd like a Sativa of some type though. Can you guys give me a suggestion on a short/medium height Sativa...
