Heya mysta. We have similar setups...

I used to hang my light the same way except I was able to get it strait left to right.

If you switch your light in the C13, so it's running front to back instead of left to right, you'll get a lot more even light coverage. I had to trim 1" off the bulb bracket with tin snips. After someone pointed out the uneven light distro I changed mine this way mid-grow during my first run. It was a pain in the ass but worth it in the end.

Hey treehuggers, how many plants are there in your flowering area? Do you have problems with their roots getting tangled together in that bed? Cuz that looks like a very efficient scrog, great way to maximize the light. Also, what strain is that, and what yields do you usually pull come harvest time?

My light is actually at a 45 deg angle. The reason is because the footprint looks a lot bigger and I can center it w/o cutting the brackets (just worked better for me). :confused:

No light leaks :chin:

quick question for all you about fan size. im going to flower in a 36"x36"x25" LxWxD i am going to run a 400 watt with a DIY cooltube and use a Carbon scrubber. so i want to suck the air through the scrubber and then over the light which is sucked into my electrical chamber and the blown out using the fan. i bought a 309cfm elicent, and i was wondering if you think this is enough or if its over kill. i believe where i bought it they also had a high 100's like 178cfm or something. what do you think? i might also have a window AC unit in the room with it.
