Looking great and I love your setup, and the size of that trunk!
I believe 10 & 1/2 oz... But my box is slightly out of size limit by inches.

Haha!

You are WAY more than slightly bigger than 1 sq foot. You are DQed not only for footprint, but vertical height as well. nice grows, though!

Ok... Is this one a little too big?

Oakley Display case. Converted to an approximate 1 square foot grow. Killed the first 6 plants on my COB run with too much light.

Hello, there!
Is this challenge ongoing?
Are there any rules/limits for LED?
Thanks, I really enjoyed it.
l.e.
Now I've seen it's a sticky, of course it's still going...
On going,
For icmag bragging rights only.
A friendly challenge would have fair warnings
A friendly challenge would have fair warnings
example -
Only two types of lighting: CFL, HID, or a combination of the two.
I had to read 3/4 of the thread, just to learn what you should've put in the first post - the fair warning.
But the users are being ridiculed for your incomplete info... I imagine it must be excruciating to edit two sentences.
Or maybe someone is really craving for views at any cost?

It's rude and very unfriendly if you ask me.
In case you did'nt noticed most of the users here are stoners/stoned, just like me, right now.

Nothing dumber than stuffing a HID into a 1sqft space, or wasting energy with shit CFLs.
I've been growing with LEDs for a while now and there's nothing better or more reasonable to use in a small space.

Oh I agree.
There's posts in this thread with LED grows, mine included. Just the latest discussion sounds like someone has an issue with them now, and I was just wondering. Since I'm ONLY growing in 1sqft, I figured my project would fit, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore since I have a diary anyway.

Can we come to an agreement about LED allowable wattage and if we will allow those strippers in too?, I'm toying with building a cab for this challenge so I want to make sure of the rules before I buy the fittings and bulbs.
I agree.
This thread was started 11 years ago. LED was not a major player then. HID is limited to 150W and the LED is the modern replacement. Why not go with that? There should be a wattage cap somewhere for both the sake of competition and safety.
I think we can all agree CFL needs the handicap
