700$ won't get you very far for high end leds... Even CMH you would only be able to really get like 945 watts of it which is not nearly enough to cover your space.. Do you have an A/C?

Yes, definitely a factor in why I'm pulling away from LEDs and looking for something else. Need a lower up front cost until I see how long we will be in this location. AC doesn't appear to be a problem thus far; the room is within my shop and i can control the shop temp also... generally keep the shop about 52 degrees - then pull in air from the shop as needed. Thoughts?

Morning fellas!!! Soo heres the rundown. I got a lil toasted this morning and decided to see what was up w the fan for myself. Soo whatever they use for the tape they put aroud the motor on those things it came loose n was trying to be pulled into the fan causing rsttling noise. I decided just to try to fix it myself soo i cut the tape back enough to where its not possible to hit the fanblade n stuck it back as best i could. Everything sounds beautiful now!!
Ok, as for the purp shes lookn fine but it looks like the sj is trying to move away from the light kind of. Is that whats happening here fellas, n what does this mean? I should maby raise the light back up a little? Idk

Well brother, its a newborn baby, it doesnt know what it wants to do,,,
She looks fine..
I mean she is a skinny thing but she pull out of that. Make sure you dont got a fan blowing straight on them.
A lil breeze right between the top of them and the bottom of the light is good to break up direct heat from the bulb..
We had them under that led and now they are getting a decent real light. So they may be adjusting...

that room will atleast need 4 1k's for your growing space as you have basically 4 4x4 quadrents
1k over each

for my first full run I would probably only use 4x8 of that room and hammer out all the kinks before I packed the room

Yes, was wondering about that. Also, a friend who bought his gear a couple years ago, then stopped growing (but may have an overinflated idea of what they're worth based on age...) has 3 XXXL closed air cooled MH/HPS hoods (no ballasts) and hangers for sale for $200 and will throw in whatever bulbs he has lying around. Thinks they were mostly higher end bulbs used one or possibly 2 grows already, but free. Is that worth going for or should I just jump on some of those complete system Black Friday week deals that Amazon has going this week? Thoughts?

get a couple 1k hps and call it a day
honestly it is gonna run you more than 700 to light all your space
unless you break the room down by quadrants and actual growing space ....with space for you to walk around
then we are talking a much differ footprint
Click to expand...
Yes, was thinking 3 4x4 quads with room to walk and store the water reservoir if possible; otherwise can move the res out. But the other limitation is that these first 6 plants will be ready to flower FAR sooner than the others.

Is it worth trying to hold these back and get 9 more clones today or just go for it and put the 9 into the 5x5 tent for next run? (I know, I know, $5 adds up quickly...lol!)

...and is "enough" dependent on the strain/native latitude/native altitude of the parent genetics?

<heh, it's got to be like $2.50 a question i figure if I'm piggybacking on someone else's question! lol>

I wouldn't worry about UV at this time.. You just need to get your basic lighting setup going since you only have 700 to work with IMO.. what size duct holes do those xxxl hoods have? probably worth it as those hoods usually run about 150$ a piece.. especially if your getting a few high end 1k watt bulbs as a bonus...

Might be difficult keeping the room temps down with no A/C, will probably have to mess with different orientations of fans pulling/pushing air in/out of the room.. Also will have to duct the lights directly outside or something if possible..

Buy the hoods!!!! Make sure that the rubber on the glass is there and that they seal. Make sure they aint got the dumb hydrofarm plug on it..
And I show you whay ballast to put with them. They are about 100 a piece! They have a remote and there own buillt in timers! And they are arguably the best ballast on the market and I have 2 of them myself. They run pretty cool and they pretty slick looking too....

still pondering my A/C dilemma.. Not sure if i should buy a new one and up my 2x hoods to 1k bulbs or if i should just keep waiting for another 6 months + probably to get some LEDs.. I feel like my A/C has just been soo inefficient but i guess its hard to tell.. I want to use the ice box thing with my chiller instead of an A/C but i need dehumidifying capabilities because deep in flower i cant control the humidity enough..
