I have 2 auto cash crop seeds about 2 weeks sprouted. I am hoping everything is dialed in and they grow nice. Good luck and let us know about the Cropical strain. I think I am gonna try that one.

Thank you for the input!!! After lots more reading last night, I think im gonna take the plunge and buy one and see how it does.

and this is exactly why I want to stay away from chinese companies... http://c2gled.com/ looks like an exact copy of the spectrum king 400

I was looking at those, Awesome lights but yea...the price is nuts, lol. Spectrum King did say they are going to do a side by side with BML, should actually be starting soon. I like the thought of full spectrum white light. I do have the ceiling height for hps...sorta..7'6. Im not looking for...

Im sold that LED is the future, HPS isnt even an option for me.

That is not the light I was talking about. This is.. http://www.spectrumkingled.com/our-grow-lights/ I am not worried about its coverage footprint, I am more worried about its penetration. The HPS light he had 30 inches over the plants was the double edge gravita and thats what they told him...

Note: 3 inches of Perilite on top of the soil helps to prevent Gnats, but will grow mushrooms out of it, lol.

They set the double ended Gravita at what they recommend, but the normal HPS they set up properly.

My flowering space is vastly bigger and yes, my veg room is 55sq ft. Im not worried about how many lights I need, but the type. The reason for different sized lights is to test penetration. I have seen leds have great tops, but not much else below 6-8 inches from the top. The spectrum king...

I have a budget and know what Ill need for coverage, when I finally figure out what light I want. It was easier to name my kids, lol.

That is my veg room, lol. I only have 4 plants, autos to boot...I started 4 more last week and will start 4 more in 2 weeks. These are all test runs....once I am satisfied with soil, room conditions and how lights work in small scale with autos I can then buy with confidence for other projects...

My room is 11x5x7...I have everything set up and running but adding new lights. What do the masses recommend??? 1 Mars II 400W, 1 Mars II 900w and 1 Mars II 1200w or 1 Spectrum King 450+ (440w actual use). Cost about $200 more for the spec. king light, but seem so much better overall. I know...

I also do reefer work, but not in HVAC. I work in the bio medical field as a tech...more blast freezers. Thanks

I had them closer but thought they were to close and I went to 18 inches...maybe ill drop them to 10 and see if that helps.

I didnt even think of that...I can totally pull that same thing off and eliminate the extra outside vent. Thanks for the idea, lol.
