Looking good man! My new Ac draws 8.7 amps the 2 year old one draws 10.8. So I'm thrilled to switch. I think the cycling issues have to do with low refrigerant levels. To bad you can't replace and refill them.

Back in the day. window units use to have the ports soldered on to them like a house AC unit. I still believe it is possible to refill them but if you have to hire an AC Technician to do it would be cheaper to just go buy a new one. I hear you about efficiency. I will have to check that amp draw. I couldn't figure out why my AC Unit has been working so hard to keep the room cool and it dawned on me that I had cut down a couple of trees near the house last fall. It dawned on me were shading the house for half the day....

So, it looks like it going to take me a little while longer then I expected to get my Pro-4's & 3's. My money's got tied up in some things n set me back.
This next led run might have a few HPS lights added to my existing HH & SE-450 if I can manage the heat w/o venting.
Bummer really but that's life. Like BigSmo said, "nice things cost money"!
Well, I encourage everyone to show theirs off when they get them on my thread if they don't have one.
The mini-split is a savior though. If you're struggling with temps & have a big room, I highly suggest getting one.
I now have all the side-light I need running & don't have to worry bout temps. Co2 stays up too.
There's a 400 in the corner & double t-8's on each wall here.
Here is 2, 4 bulb t-5's
Here's my 40watt 4ks & some CFL's
And here's my Hotri-reds & Daylight Blue combo to start flower for the first 10 days. I also use this combo the last 2 weeks sometimes, if I can get to them.
I was hoping to flash my Pro-4's by now.
After all this is the led section. Lol!
Hopefully soon. Everyone i told about them will have em before me. But, I got my mini-split & some major things paid off, so I can't complain.
In the mean time, the led plants are vegging, waiting for me to get my shit together. Ha! I'll just keep topping them in attempt to keep them shorter & bushy.

Just opened them up n hit the full power mode on both lights. 
Bump it! These puppies are going into flower this week!
Got some great strains here I never grew before. Always makes for an exciting run!
HPS going up in here, up in here! They say my HH is a 1000watt HPS Replacement. Yeah, ok! Lol! Not!

This is what they looked like before opening them up. They were just spun in this picture so they still look a lil weird facing the opposite direction they were growing. Plus I pinch the new growth at the taller tops all the time. Topping when needed. 
But yeah, the HH actually rocks in veg. So does the Amare, both @ half power & jacked all the way to the ceiling. Neither light caused to much stretching, both put out mad sites & healthy plants. I wonder though if the lack of the real full spectrum in the HH ill prepares them for flower. Not sure. Seems like the last ones vegged under led, now in the HPS room look great, but won't really know I guess w/o having labeled which were vegged under the HH for when buds start to form.
The HH did really bad in flower last run & I even noticed they didn't accept their nutes properly. I had chalked it up to the Lack of Full spectrum in the burplish/pinkish light.
Thinking about using the SunCloak again instead of the HPS to flower these girls.
Can't really vent HPS in this room.
Maybe 5 in the Cloak & 2 n 2 under these lights? Or drop a Thouie in the middle? What do you guys think? Not sure, but they will be going into flower this week.

How you making out w/ the EcoSun?
They were mad shady. You got one though for a testing thread right?
I bet it would work well in the middle of your DIY as opposed to the Go-Green.

Damn son! That looks awesome! Healthy plants. You sure they don't have a lil longer to go? Looks like a nice haul. It's cool to see it that close to the plants & they're still very happy. How close is it? I know it has to be high to get the 5'x5' out of it right? So what's it giving you for a footprint at that hight?
Man, I want a Pro-9.
How's the Maxamizer doing?
Are you & the plants happy w/ both lights?
Looks like you got your heat problem solved w/ the central air tie-in! Nice!
You know, you can post the full size pictures on my thread. I'm all bout it!

No. I WON it. It is my light. I own it. But I'll be flowering under it in about a month. Kind of in a shitty situation. My 9 seeds, only 7 of them are doin really well. So I'm kind of at a loss what to do where my flower tent has 9 sites.

Haha thanks. That pic was from the 22nd.I'm gonna chop the haze, strawberry cough, slh, skunk, and white berry on Sunday which is the 8 week mark. The mocha and the other one are still stacking so they'll stay. I'd say it's about 2ft clearance at the moment. The SC and g13 haze are putting out some purple and reddish I think because I got the temps in the sweet spot. 81 max right before lights go off and 68 at dark. I'm running botanicare and it's ok but a pain with all the different bottles. I'm gonna run Hydro research next and throwing in pineapple express and cotton candy next. Those will be in 1gal suspended pots like AlphaPhase runs

Dude your temps are spot on what mine were. White Berry is a very uniquely smelling and looking plant would you mind posting some pics of your close to chop or dried nugs so we can compare? ViP Seeds right?

Sweet! I need 2 of those or the Pro-4's right about now. The Amare fans are quite on my SE-450. Those are probably the same. They made some up-grades I hear on the Pro-3' & 4's. Can't wait to see.
Hey, you said my names on the box. Forward them babies over homie. Lol!

Ha! That's crazy. You weren't even fuckin w/ me. You're a trip. That's so funny but legit even. Lol! I'm jelly.
I know Victor added some blue bump to the spectrum to decrease stretch. But damn. He had to call it Hybridway!
See, I'm kindve big on conspiracy theories n shit. So, I'm starting to think it was on purpose so everyone will tell me they got my package!
Now, I know I'm not that important! But it is hilarious. Now I'm gonna hear it from everybody. OMG! Ha!
