scope my set up first time grower

Daystar Reflector


Lumatek 400W 120V HPS/MH Elect Ballast





how can i improve???

lol what the hell looks like your growing in a storage unit haah..looks good though

nah no storage unit just some spot i have between the garage and the wall.

looks goods

I'd get some of the styrofoam insulation sheets for the ends that don't have mylar or aluminum tape. and surrond it to focus some side light later in the grow. You've got plenty of light for teh size, might as well use it all!

thanks for the heads up.

ill have new pictures up today . after i move my set up around ..
anyone else have any ideas on how i can improve my design / set up.

plants are 20 in away from the light

alum foil is not very reflective, flat white paint is cheaper and will reflect much more. looks good otherwise,.

its not .. its reflective tape and i got it from a homie for free so its coo .
but yah . what about air flow ??

for that size i would just have a fan and open the door for a while when the light cycle is on... and get or make a Co2 generator... i have the same equipment ... r u going to be switching to hps for flowering?

im going to buy a hortilux super hps enhanced spectrum light

yep i have same one... heres some pics.....

how many plants were you growing. and how long were you growing them for ?

that was seven plants 6 from clone 1 from seed... the clones didn't do so well because i didn't let them age long enough after hardening off on that grow... the seed plant was aged 14 weeks before flowering... she yielded right around an ounce i do believe... and the clones gave like 2 1/2... this was my second grow... i have light mover now and I'm popping off a lot more now... flowering time was 8 weeks on the clones and 7 weeks on the seed plant... the lasty pic was from my first indoor grow ever

yah thats dope man . good shit.
how many plants you have going right now ?

i got behind on my clones so i decided to grow my two moms out since i have new ones of better strains coming in... BUT i put them into 5 gallon buckets so i'm hoping for some monsters... and then once my clone situation is worked out i'll go back to 16 plants those bulbs kick ass!

i don't have pics of the newer grows... the pic taking urge has worn off

oo nicee yah hopefully everything works out for you.
yah this is my first grow. so im crossing my fingers ...

thats a nice hydro setup, you could built it your self for much cheaper.
also you have alot of empty space in your room .... you need some more plants in there
