initially, i'm going to run my 4 ft 8 bulb t5 rig in there. so that's 432 watts. its produced some awesome buds in a 6 ft x 2 ft space, and i think 4 x 4 ft will yield much more with the enlarged area.

Nice job on the outdoors, bro! Those fit in like no other. Whatever they are, they're just glistening. I'm guessing that sparkle isn't the morning dew, lol!

Great to have you swing by the thread and don't go and get carpal tunnel with all the trimming that needs to be done!

keepoffthegrass,i got a homebox but its the regular sized one.It had light leaks around the seam,zipper,and the vents at the bottom.But all you need to do is foil tape around them and youll be fine. i run a 400 watt in mine.

Dix: Welcome to the midwest thread! You'll like the 400, i'm using 2 myself, but what i'd really like is a 600. Supposedly twice the lumens for only 50% more power. Those NLxBB sound nice. Are you going perpetual sog, ala Dr. Budgreengenes style? I've thought of that method myself, and it's probably ideal for a cab/fridge.

DSOTG: I like the look and design of the growtents. In fact, if i had to move and had a spare room, i'd probably put a homebox in there instead of trying to rig a cab or closet. Just put it together and tear it down (although hopefully you wont need to do the latter for a while :rasta:). Should add to the stealthiness of your setup; so long as no one goes in the room, no one will know it's ever there.
You think you can stuff a couple hundred more watts in there, since you got more room? Is there separate chambers for cloning and veg areas with 24 hour light?

Dr. Blake: Long time no see! How's the outdoor going this year? been running around, i 'spect.
What clone is that in the pics? Some sort of purps? You've been running it since '05? Nice big frosty purple colas they are.

PC: Nice buds! Is that FFOF in the romulan pot? You're running the schrom in shallow water culture? I dont hear too much about that method. How's the smoke on those girls, as far as potency and effect (body or head)?




closeup of a Flo. too much exposure, so the buds themselves are washed out. how do i fix that? :joint:

lemon - yea i saw some pinhole light leaks inside it after i got her all assembled. nothing that the aforementioned foil tape won't handle :rasta:

baba - yes, i do also have a veg area with mothers, rooted cuts, and rooting cuts as well as 2 other flower areas. its perpetual (or attempted perpetual) but i still have a gap in the process from when i had to toss a bunch of clones with bugs. :nono:

on a lighter note, a budder run of trim will be going down very soon and im gonna make like 2 batches of potent treats and also an extra stick for whatever i feel like later (i hear spreading budder on a cracker gets it done nicely) :bashhead:
