Thanks for all the compliments. They have started to fatten up quite a bit since the last photo shoot. I will try and get an update soon. They really like sitting up against the cool tube. The clone is stretching nicely right now and I am looking forward to it putting on the weight soon.
Tight setup grouchy - lovin' it

Well, here's an update for those who are watching. The big girl has started plumping up some. She is soaking up all the light I can give her. The smaller one has grown a lot taller. I am thinking about bending her over real soon. That way I can reach all her bud sites with the little 70w.

grouchy, really nice. Sorry I didn't check your thread earlier 
I like your cab setup, mine is similar, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use a cooltube or just venting on the lights yet. Have you tried both methods?
Besides that, I love the buds you have grown in your cab. Hopefully my yields will be as good.

Playmound and obzen - Thanks guys. Stick around, it should be good.
LymphNode - I hope you can pull more with your 2 150s then I can with my 70w. My first round with this box I did without the tube. I couldn't get the plants as close to it and my goal is to go to a bigger light soon. I might have to try it out tonight and see what happens with my 100w cmh. Last time I stuck it in there temps went up to 90 degrees before I pulled it out. My ambient temps are much cooler now so we will see.

What wattage light are you planning on going with? Going vert with it wouldn't make a difference?

Well, I have a choice of two lights to go with. I have a 100w Cmh and a 100w hps both sitting around. I am thinking about trying out the 100w cmh tonight and running it in the same cool tube and reflector that I have the 70w hps in right now. My next go round I plan on running the light vertically with a cylindrical scrog.
I have a trip planned for thanksgiving and will need to shut down the cab while I am gone. When I come back I plan on popping some better genetics and changing to vertical.
If I can get my bigger fan going and set up I might try running the 100w cmh and the 70w hps in the same cool tube. That would give me more than 100w per sq ft. and a dual spectrum of sorts.
I have a couple other ideas I have been tossing around. I would like to try and build a 5 gallon bucket with a 42w spiral cfl and a vertical scrog. I have a bunch of these bulbs laying around from my first grow and thought it would be fun to try out. The other idea is to run the 100w hps or the 70w hps in a trash can with a vertical scrog. The trash can idea I have been tossing around for a long time. It actually inspired my user name and avatar. These would have to be completely stealth so it may take me some time to get around to these other projects.
