Whacha think? First grow, bagseed, veg'd 40 days w/ 250w MH, 50 days 12/12 w/250w HPS, three gallon pots, LST.

I can't seem to get my animated .gif images to display properly. First I tried uploading (which I've done again in this post). But it only seems to display the first image and won't cycle. Then I tried hosting the .gif on photobucket. Sometimes this seems to work and other times it just...

Two separate airflow circuits. The green line is for cooling the ballast and hood only. The hood is sealed so no filtration is needed there (although I might add a simple carbon filter element for extra odor protection and dust filtration). The blue and red lines are the other airflow...

I've got three plants. #1 is 11 days old. #2 is 9 days old. #3 is 7 days old. #1 and #2 are hurting and I'm not sure why. --Temps are 76-80 deg. 35% humidity --Light is ~200w of mixed spectrum CFL. Started at 3 inches away. Moved to 5 inches today. --Fan is blowing on them. Sort of...

Hi. First post here. Never grown a thing in my life. Been reading a lot....but hope I don't get laughed/yelled at for dumb questions. Great resource here. Anywho.... Is there such a thing as going overboard on lights? I don't want the cost or complexity of light capacity I don't need...
