Thats actually a 125w CFL. No way you could put a non vented HPS that close without flames.

OP Your looking good but you are going to need more light for flower or your yeilds will be horrible.

You might get as much out of one plant as you could with five in that set up.

Looking very good!!!

Interesting, a 1000w HPS in a closet with the plants in the hood and you did not burn down the house. Nice.

Then why bring it up in a thread where a guy has a closet grow. Granted you can have a none Hooded 1000w HPS, but you can not have a none ventilated one, well maybe in the Artic. I understand you are proud of your grow and rightly so but these types of threads are not the place to pound your chest.

yeah not much comparisin with mine...dont need a big light myself but nice to see someone doin well with theirs

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

Yeah I have a 400w MH in a 2x2x6 that is none hooded and the heat is kicking my ass. I am going to the hydro store to see if they have the hood I want.

Your set up looks great. Keep up the good work.

cheers bonzai...i actually had a problem getting the heat to rise with the cfl..what i did was stick in a heating 100w ceramic bulb from a vivarium..problem solved so when light off it shouldnt drop too much either..i'll prob have to put the 150w bulb when i get proper ventilation in there

 

[mygirls]

your missing the whole point of what im saying. im saying as long as you have a good fan hanging right at light level blowing the heat away from the tops of the plants they will not burn from heat even at 105 degrees. works basicly like a cool tube. as long as you have a good exhaust ventilation, even in a closet,box, what ever your growing in.
