Much appreciated, DooM. I was just reading about dinamed - i'm intrigue, despite its sativa-leaning pedigree, and its unwieldy size may be a detriment to my going with this strain. So what was the stretch like for dinamed? Keep us posted. Would be awesome if you can post up more pics. Thanks!

Great journal, Maui. Thanks for the reply. Any chance we get to see late flowering pics? Regards

It would... I could just glue a ducting flange and vent out the hot air from the top!

Central air as cooling - That's a hidden cost right there. My point is that cool air is still a prerequisite for LED lights, more so for units with 5-watt diodes. These units cumulatively breathes hot air like a dragon on bhut jolokia. I was deluded into thinking that (5w) LEDs run cool - the...

As an engineer, I'd worry about cooling the LEDs. I am not an E&E engineer. As a horti, all that I'm worried about is regulating the temperature in the grow environment. LED units, as they are, add heat to a room while making it costly to isolate the heat extraction without sacrificing...

Thanks for the quick reply! My grow space within the tent is only actually 2x2, as i need the extra foot or so for the dehumidifier and all the other stuffs. Yeah, Ive noticed those threads, actually and they've certainly piqued my interest. Thanks again!

I have purchased a 1200w mars2. the 5 watt LEDs run pretty hot. The heat sink and fans do a terrific job at cooling the electronics, but does not do much at maintaining an (already) high ambient temp. I won't be using it anymore, unfortunately. I am still struggling with heat, and it would be...

Hi PlatinumLED, is it okay to hang the P150 12" above the canopy for a 2'x2' grow area? Im trying to contain humidity with a dehumidifier in a grow tent which is 2x4x5 in dimension. With ambient humidity at 70%RH at 82F, I figure it would be nice if your P150 doesn't emit much heat in order...

Hey Sara, I received an ebay message which recommends a distance of 4' to 4.5' from the canopy for a Mars 2 1000W~1200w. A 78" (6.5') tent wouldn't leave much headroom, unless it's a very squat 1-foot plant? cheers.

Hi Maui, They look awesome! What sort of distance do you keep your 1200w away from your plants? Have you noticed any signs of probable phototoxicity (bud-tip bleachings) so far? peace.

Golden, thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Hiker. Best if I rephrase my post: How hot is a 1200w unit, in relative HPS terms - does it prouce as much heat as a 250w, 400w, 600w or a 1000w HPS? thanks and regards

Thanks for that :thumbsup:. Gorillas are a bit out of my budget, and they don't seem to reply to my emails. I guess a POS tent will do for me!

By the way, can anyone advice me which 4x4 tent has enough load bearing strength to handle the weight of the 1200 mars2 together with fan+filter at the roof? The "plug and grow" tent on ebay is very reasonably priced, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough for the job. Peace!

Hi Sara, I'm at the planning stage right now, but I would like to know What sort of heat buildup that I can expect in a 1.2m x1.2m x2m grow tent from a 1200w mars2. I am worried about heat because I live in a hot climate (average room temperature is 30°C). I plan to AC the room where the...
