Nice Journal liked it alot!!

How much did that yeild for you ??
Ok then, see i was just going to keep adding aanother cfl every 2 weeks i get £££££ and try add more light but with the downside that more light (Hps lighting) produces far too much heat where the cfl are pretty much undetectable from the helicopter.....or is that not true ??

Actually, that is not true. Lumen for lumen, CFLs run hotter than HPS. A 400W HPS with an air cooled hood can be cooled fairly easily. The ballst can be located remotely, which helps with heat issues. A 400W HPS puts out about 50,000 lumens. It would take about 18 42 W bulbs (consuming 756 watts) to produce that many lumens. Or about 12 65 W bulbs. When you get this many CFLs together, it is going to create some heat.

However, they will grow decent pot--it just costs more in electricity to do so. The reason that I have advised against side lighting with CFLs is because you have to have the bulbs so close to the plants to be of real benefit.

^^^ Like i said something new every day lol ^^^ i think im just going to use a 400 now so that will bring me up to 1000 watt hps scrap the cfl for different project , how much does it cost with a air cooled hood?? any recommended website's to purchase 1? Would be appreciated

14 days is very young to be showing sex IMO, but i know nothing about autos so who cares what i say :ignore: .

i dont think them getting to big would be an issue because they are autos, dont they stay small.

Yea i orignally thought they would go wild like my last auto's did but they were not a cross was just lowryder 2 dont no but will have that 400 next week or so, that might help dnt no aww well ya get what ur giveing lol
