Cool Gio. The Liquid Lumens design seems sound enough..... But you just never know. Water cooling is a good idea I think, if not for everyone, definitely for stealth guys who want a good yield w/o lots of noise and heat. I wish that T5's had growing power that was a little closer to the power of an HID light. Here's a question; for a space that is 18 inches deep x 30 inches wide x 30 inches high, would you go with a 4 bulb T5 setup, or maybe a small HPS setup (150/250watt)? I'm looking to construct a cabinet that will be around those dimensions. Any thoughts?

I think a small 150/250 watt would be good for a 18 inch deep area. I personally have a 150 watt light that I used to grow (1) plant and it worked as long as you had a small fan to keep things cool. I tried to have my fan blowing at the plant as well as the light

Smokey Mcmedic check out in the journals in progress section of "happiehippie." He used lights similiar to what you are looking for and check out stratlogics journal in the completed section. Hope this might give you some help and ideas of lighting.

Ditto on pf...
My preferences come through in my posts above. Ultimately, if you can deal with the heat, go bigger up to 600. Everything depends upon circumstances though, so take my driving opinion too seriously. Strat does some amazing shit with cfl's... kinda blows my mind a little that those little bulbs (screw in mind you) actually work so well. I'm positive this has a lot to do with how strat utilizes them though. As with any product, it depends on how well you use them, within the constraints of your situation. A lot to mull over, no doubt. Each as pos/neg's. Make best decision you can based on area & other limitations. My guess is that you will be able to make any particular product work, but that's my read of you as a potential grower. I play a lot of poker so am always inside my head with crap like that. Best brah. |

Gio77 what lights do you use? I use (2) 400 watt lights in my tent. Soon I will be adding 2 to 3 more lights but this time it will be 600 watt lights. I figured (3) 600 watt lights would be better than (2) 1000 watt lights.

Funny you should say/ask that... I use 1000's (x2), but I have special circumstances that require the depth in penetration & cast width. I can't really get my lights any closer than 2' & require a full 4' width & some other considerations...
Ideally, I would've picked the x3 600's, but again, special constraints. Best. |
