I have a turnkey setup ... its measured 36x36x42 ..... the flowering chamber as it is referred to. I have been able to grow some nice personal smoke wit that setup. The plants are highly adaptable .... bended and te4ased and curved to fit their space. and all they do is keep growing .... of course it affects your overall yield and productivity measure ... but in my case, if I get a decent yield and some decent quality ... that's really all that matters. Walk on!!~~~~

My box Dimentions are 1'3"L x 11"w x 1"8"H LOLOL

It's gunna grow GREAT POT too. I'm concentrating on two plants. I've got 4 - 42 watt CFL's in there 2 2700k and 2 6500k. Venting is using the cool tube principal, with passive intakes. It's a nice STEALTH design that can potentially produce a up to 2 ounces of pot.

Forgive my noobiness...whats the cool tube principle?

I layed out my grow box made from PVC pipe and a 5'x5'x5' can hold 18 two gallon containers,, or 12 5 gallon containers allowing your plant to grow a little mroe than 3 feet from the top taking away for the height of the bucket assuming its soil and not hydro.

Cool tube is where you have your HPS bulb in a clear glass tube about twice it's size in diameter, sealed off from the actual room, seperate ventalation pulls air across the bulb reducing it's heat production significantly.

IN MY MICRO GRO, i designed it in such a way that passive intake holes in the floor provide fresh air, while i sealed off the top 4 lights with a piece of plexie Glass leaving about a half inch gap on the door side so it can pull it;s air up from the grow area, across all 4 bulbs and then out the cabnit. Temps are a consistant 82F The plants will grow right up into the plexie without getting burnt.

Ahh, I see. That makes sense. What are some good stores to buy HPS bulbs from? Places like Home hardware are here in Canada...but where I live, it's quite a journey to get there, so it would be great if they were sold at something like Walmart/Zellers, or at some other shop that is closer to me.

SPLIFFtime, your photos don't show...I'd be very interested to look at your set-up, it sounds the most like what I had in mind.

Depends how big you wanna go, i'm in canada too. You can find 70w and 150 watt hps security light systems at home depot. That can be converted into grow lights quite easily. I bought my HPS 400W system at High Times in London Ontario.

Remember you need a ballast to go with the bulb.

Sorry, what's a ballast for a HPS bulb? A link to a sticky or a written description would be much appreciated

It's a Transformer in a box kinda thing that controls the voltage going to the light. Thats why even though a 400w hps bulb WILL fit into a regular house hold socket, but it will do nothing. That tube inside is givin a start up charge of about 6500 volts by the ballast to fire up the lamp.

So The transformer box plugs into the wall, and the light socket is wired to the transformer box.
