the show is looking good...do the buckets (3 to the left,3 to the right) get less light then the 9 in the middle?...from the pic kind of looks that way.

1BMM interested to know how you made your double cooltube. It looks really nice and professional. If you got any pic would love to see them. I've done 2 myself 2nd one was way better than the 1st but still hard to change bulbs and very limited on overall light footprint in tent due to the shortness of the glass. Debating whether or not to get 1 1000w for a 4x4 tent or go with 2 400's or 1 400w and 1 600w. Leaning more towards the 1 1000w and keeping my 400w in the veg tent. But would really depned on ease and cost of how you did your cooltube.
Heads Up

Dez, the guy who did my service work, I've known him for umpteen years, I used to work with him for a couple of years, that's why the cost was so low. I figured I saved a grand.
Masonman, the timers I got from htg supply can handle two lights and they are 110 volt timers. They are rated for it's either 1500 or 1800 watts.

At this point the middle buckets are probably getting more light. I still need to make a reflector for the cooltube. Even though the buckets on the outside seem to get less light the plants grow just as vigourus. In past grows th plants on the outside where actually bigger. Thre trick will be in the reflector to spread the light evenly.
Growing inddors is def fun. And you dont have to worry about deer or critter digging up you plants. I highly recommend 600 watt lights.
If you go back a page or so on here Buddha i did kinda a pictorial of how i put it all together. Additionally im not sure you can even buy a glass tube like the one im using. It is from my ecosystem vertical hydrponic machine that im not using. They do make a magnum xxxxl cooltube though which is a dual bulbber. A bit pricey to purchase. Hell a lil hunting around you may find a glass tube the size of mine. The one i have is 4ft tall and 6" round.
If you find one and need some help with getting your light sockects mounted let me know and ill walk you through how to do it.
Headsup are you refering to the white timers they send with the light combo. If so i have 2 of those. Hmm never looked to see what kinda wattege they can handle. OR did you order the timer seperate?
happy thursday yall. 1BMM

Good deal Headsup. Going to go check that out.
Well I guess the cap light controller is just out of the question for this grow. Too much time spent rebuilding to tear it all out so a sparkie can get in. Just going to go with my old ways for now.
Just waiting on the clones to root now. Cant hardly wait.

I picked up a dual digital timer at Walmart for less than $15 seems to be working good for me. Can set it in 1 min increments with 20 different settings. One thing bad I found out about it is you have to manually set the time for daylight savings. Couple pics of the one I have. I'll look for the product info and post it.

eww beware of walyworld gear GB, Waly imports all there goods from overseas and all are designed to fail!!!!! so you go buy another. Just an observation from an observative motha trucker. Seriously how old is the oldest item you purchased at wally world. Sorry man not trying to push my views. But do whatch for time lags for sure on the timers.
Aight a drag of the spliff maxing some groceries
