thought I'd bring my quote over here from your journal HT... How about the 250w HPS with verticle CFL's? G at Suite 215 did something similar in one of his threads, but on a larger room and more lights... :coolTF1 FTW!!!! I really am loving that setup and am very interested in the verticle CFL setup for veggin' although I realize that you are gonna flower them in there. I'd suggest adding a 150W big CFL on top and drop the verticle smaller CFL's at the mid canopy elevation. Lots of airflow with your green thumb, and you should be able to convince the micro growers that flowering in a small setup ala vert CFL's is feasible. Kudos brother, but I still want 1000W, maybe 2000w.... :itwasntme
If your gonna use CFl's go with PL-L's in a spiral Fl you lose light because of whats called restrike. The light is pretty much waste, not to mention sprials dont offer good penetration. A Pl-L of same wattage would be much better and cover a larger area than a spiral. I'm about to start growing in a 11x11x11 box with 4-18w Pl-l. It cost $22 for a 128w ballast capable of 4 lamps. i also bought 6 bulbs for $30 shipped and had to buy more sockets which was $10. I think this was easily worth the extra cost since you maximize the use. The penetrating light is awesome also.
this is from two 55w PL-Ls. I literally love these things.
what kind of hood can you air cool in a 2x2 tent? does anybody know any models that would rock in a 2x2 tent?
400w hps should be a little hot for a 2x2 tent but a 250w hps should be just perfect if you can air cool it alot of people are using tents now its kinda rad :boogie:
