Vertical growing is really taking off around here at the hydro stores. From conversations I've had, you do not calculate it the same. Since the bulb is hanging free, you are not aiming the light in one direction like you would with a reflector. The only weakness to a point is the light shining...

Thought I would add, if you want to play around with putting more CO2 in, there is a way to put some in with some DIY. http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=co2+generator+jug&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=4d6f6ce8c32f4f53

Sounds like a good start. I can tell you how I have my growing area vented. I have inside some recirculating fans that move air around for the plants. For exhaust, I have a stanley blower connected to one of the DIY carbon filters I found in a thread here. Then I have some more blowers cooling...

Good luck with you project.

I second that. A 600W bulb makes the most efficient lumen / watt and meets your space requirements. I would consider it.

thanks, your setup gave me some ideas :)

1) If you are looking to get as much yield as possible from a tent using a hydroponic setup, I really suggest you look into a deep water culture system. They are even pretty easy to DIY. For an assembled version, check out...

You could always experiment for sure. CFL grows however are a more confirmed practice. I would get some 27k and 65k CFL's from http://www.1000bulbs.com/?gclid=CLfsmLD8mKYCFYtS2godjl62oQ . Cheap led.. those words don't generate quality light in my mind.

o.o What did you grow last ? Sounds like some good stuff. :D

While some HPS have a somewhat extended spectrum to help vegetative growth, the ceramic MH looks pretty nice. The only drawback is what I've found is the lack of high wattage varieties meaning more balasts and reflectors. From a spectrum perspective, it is surely impressive. (images taken from...

Pretty slick man. I've always been told to balance CFL light with a few 27k lights as well. Nice clean box. :)

The most economical option is supplementing the HID with some CFL on the sides. Just remember to mix them up. Some 65k, some 27k. Adding a MH to the mix will blow the doors off a CFL but then you will need to have some more effective cooling solutions implemented.

I have one of those radiating heaters. It heats my 10 x 10 bedroom to the point where I throw off the blankets. I recommend them. http://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-SafeHeat-Oil-Filled-Radiating-Heater/dp/B0012QUBTG edit: thought i would add I do not have this exact heater. Mine is a 1500W...

For the lights in your respective cabinet areas, I know that using CFLs you want a balanced spectrum of light. Not just 65k or 27k for veg and flower. Also you may want to plan on putting a bulb on the sides of the cabinet to get more light penetration which is most important; especially with...

Thanks for the input on the panda film and using that for the 2 x 4s. Space is abundant. I can really have as least or as much as I want. The determining factor will be the lights and venting costs. I guess I need to figure out a happy medium.
