Nice!

that's some hand-me-down setup! I Think I need some family like you've got man.. All my brother ever gave me was a hard time! ; P

Things look like they're getting pretty close to completion, Those buds just have a bit more filling in to do.. I can almost taste it!

Isn't it amazing how resilient plants are?.. I've broken branches supper cropping and all it takes is a little strip of duct tape and a couple days of recovery time. I wish I was half as tough as my little cannabis plants sometimes lol..

Things look great, can't wait to see how things turn out!

Peace,
Bowsie

Thanks Man...Yeah My Brother Grows For the Clubs in North Cal While Im Stuck Here in SoCal Learning The family Trade so One Day i can Join The Family Business But Like My Bro Always Said It Starts At home!
My Bro Just called Me and Said Hes Gonna Throw me His high output 250w
That i Configured for him To throw out 55000 Lumens Just Like 400w How i Did this you Ask Just go to a Electronic Contracting College and you'll figure it out!
(Happy Growing)

Your plants look really nice. You're doing great with the hand me downs, wish I had someone to give me something like that. But as I like to say, nothing beats free. Just wondering since your closet looks kinda like mine, how is the heat with those lights? Getting a 400w soon.

 

[KindOfBud]

Well My Temp is usually at a consistent of 82* with the doors open In My Kind Of Large Closet(3ftx6ft) I have to keep the doors open since my only Ventilation Is a Osculating Fan Blowing The Hot Air into My Room n Then Out of an Open Window That is Usually Always Closed Unless It gets to Hot Or i want More Fresh Air Circulation!

Just Get a 250w and Pimp it out like it did Back in the day but i did it the Old School Way for My bro when he was getting started because he wanted more energy efficient lights and since Im an Electric Contractor Id though id help him out but now you don't even need to know how electronic systems Work To have Rewire Electronic Systems Because LSE Rewired the Bulb For You!

The New LSE 250w Hps Bulb puts out 42,000 Lumens and combine it with the "Grow Reflector" Them on the Internet or Ebay Almost Like every other Damn thing now a Days!..But if You do the you'll be Putting out just as much light as a 400w just with less heat, less power consumption and less vertical penetration witch means IF you did Pimp out a 250w the new school way it would only make sense to run the system in a Scrog Set Up!

The Only Why I Mention This Is Because there's No Way You can Run a 400w Hps in your Closet without cutting holes in walls for proper ventilation SO this is a great Way to Have Maximum Efficenty without messing up your pad!

I plan on putting my light in a closet that is bigger than the one I am working with now. I don't know the measurements. But it has two sliding doors, I know as if that is really telling you something. I do have a big fan (you can see it in my journal). Ok, the closet is 7 feet by 2 feet, so can it handle a 400w without a heating problem? Or would I have to leave one of the doors open and put the fan in it? The fan has two settings, one to blow air in and the other is an exhaust. So during lighting cycle should the fan be blowing air in or out?

 

[KindOfBud]

I Think It Will Get To Hot In There Without Proper Ventilation!
Any Other Opinions?

 

[Mark Green]

You will need a fan for sure.

Hey sorry it took me so long to respond. I have so many journals that I try to keep up with. I did end up getting the 400w light. It puts out 50,000 lumens. I have it 10 inches above the plants. It does get warm so I leave the door open during light cycle but I also have the big fan posted in front of the door. Set on high so the ladies are swaying or shaking. The temp seems to stay between 78-80 with the humidity at 49. So, not having a heat problem at all...Just more like a kitty problem because when my cat gets in the same room with the plants he doesn't want to leave and he likes sniffing them...lol

 

[preprodigy]

No problem, Bud...Yeah about the light, I am in the same position as you as far as not being able to cut holes in the walls. The fan I have is big and powerful enough to keep the closet cool and with door open air is circulating. It gets the job done. Glad I was able to help you out with that, no doubt!!!
