3 sq.ft. is nice for a 150hps, but a 250 will certainly produce more flowers . if this is just a personal grow the 150 will produce plenty of ganja for you, with lots left over to share if you like.
lovely cabinet !!!

i dont reccomend scrog'ing seed plants. you will have some males, you want to waste time training them and then having to untangle them when u find them ?
do a scrog on your next grow after you found females and have clones to fill the screen.
i think lst is best for you atm, make your plants grow sideways, sideshoots will be your colas and if they get too tall, tie them down.
i dont like your fan either, look how much height you lost to it! surely you could have found something more suitable? or moved the fan to one side of the cab? scrubber could be a different shape?
and dont forget a small fan for blowing across the plants
it does look a nice cab and looks like you put it together well

6 seeds have cracked
Here they are in their new home
As you can see smokeymacpot, I've got circulation fans.
The RVK is perfect, in spite of its size, since it generates minimum noise at 50% compaired to a 120mm PC fan at 100% moving equivalent air.
I dont plan on entangling the maybe-males. No screen until males have been tossed.
2 of the 12 seeds look ruined, but the others I hope to get alive

I really like that design
Deus,
Im gonna veg them till I have 4 mainshoots going upwards on each plant. Then 12/12.
1) If they stretch, I'll put on the screen WHEN sexed.
2) If they dont, I'll have (hopefully) 6x4 main colas budding up, the lamps barely above/between them.
ramone79,
I'm not very 1337 at Paint, but this will get you thinking about it the right way
All painted black inside.
You can see the cracks in the sides here:
I think they're too small. The gab in the middle below could also be bigger...
I'll change that, when these babies are smoking

Two have arrived above groundlevel (7 and 9). I'm still waiting for the last 10. I feel like something is wrong, but I guess I'm just anxious.
Decided to install my single 125W 6400K CFL bulb instead. Cheaper and might even be better than 250W 2700K? What do you guys think?
Hashplant clone soon to be backup mum on the side... Also a test of the soilmix I'll be using for this grow.
Now Im actually set for 375W CFL mixed-spectrum bonanza in flower
Too expensive though

You can do a little inspection - CAREFULLY - pushing back the soil and finding the seed - use a small pokey tool or something and be super careful not to damage anything. I don't really recommend it but as long as you're careful you'll know for certain if those seeds are ever going to break the surface.

I'd say stick with the 6400k CFL for veg, i should think it'll perform perfrom better for the veg. It's generally good to double your wattage during flowering, so going from the 125 of blue, to the 250 of red should be cool, especially if you left the blue in there for the 375w 'bonanza' haha...
Lookin sweet man, i'll be watching..
