This is a great club! I have a Kessil H150 magenta in my 18"x14"x36" grow cabinet along with T5 side lighting. The Kessil has great intensity and my grow is going really well so far.

Having excellent results using my favorite Kessil H150W Blue led grow light. All of my seedlings are short, stout, and growing nice and busy, not upwards. I love the way a pure blue spectrum makes the plants grow from sprouts. I will be keeping all new plants on this blue regimen, until 3 weeks, and then add an H350 Deep Purple.

I'll post some pics soon. I dont think the tuna blue is tuned in for plants, only coral. The h150b is perfect for clones, and vegging. Equivalent to metal halide.

How's that workin out for you? How close is it to your plants? Temps? My cab is 36" tall but by the time I get a 5 gal pot in there and a scrog Net I'll be within 6" of the buds once they get flowering. How did you mount the light?

It's workin great for me! I've had mine as close as 6" without any adverse effects or bleaching. Temps are the hardest thing to manage in these small cabs. I try to keep my cab as close to 85 degrees as I can, but it can get up to 90 or 91 in the summer time. I also have 2 T5's as side lighting and a 2 cfl's overhead in my cabinet to round out the light. My Kessil is hanging from a small diameter curtain rod (spring loaded adjustable). I got 2 closet rod mounting ends holding up the curtain rod and the Kessil is shining down at an angle from the front of the cabinet. The Kessil has hooks that can be placed on the back or the sides of the Kessil H150, so you have a lot of options for how you want to hang the light. I consideedr the Area 51 stuff and the Hans panel when I decided to try LED lights, but decided the Kessil was the way I wanted to go with this small of a cabinet. If you may want to try 2 Kessils if you don't want to use side lighting. I think that would run a little bit cooler than the set up I am running right now. I also saw a Lighthouse UFO on ebay for $179. This thing is 135 wants with a 10" diameter and it also includes the UV spectrum, but it's red spectrum is not in the sweet spot of 690 like the Kessil. A 5 gallon container is gonna take up a lot of space in your cab. Definetely gonna have to scrog or tie the top down.
