MDF is sound mate for grow rooms thats what i used for my wall an door in my room, it comes in all different thicknesses its easy to cut its strong, light proof an all you need to do is paint the inside matt white. for sound you can get sound block plasterboard its pretty pricey an i dont no if you can get single sheets but it works wonders you can get everythin in your grow coupboard with no sound escapin atall an that just paints aswell. hope this helps good luck mate!

A little bit ebtter :D couldn't be arsed to do anything mroe than i have :P Really liking the colour thouhg. Found a couple of seeds so far, which was to be expected considering as i cuoldn't be bothered to wipe down the grow room or owt after spluffing the black rose inside.
 
tipsy you are so fuckin creative. i was thinking about doing a side pot grow kinda like that too. vertical pot growing kicks ass mate.
very nice gardening, there must be at least a pound hidding in that forest.

I have doubts, naturally, but at the same tie, i watched weed wars, dude walks in with a couple of mason jars and apparently he's a pound. I've never weighed harvests other than by the simple rul of "that looks like an ounce to me" etc, so i don't really have much of a clue what i'm expecting. If i get 9 ounces off it though, that is my job done with regard to my needs, any more and it will simply serve to make life a bit easier while finding work in canada. That or it would pay for my tickets to get back to the UK should there be some form of RIU festivity :D

All i do know is how depressing it is to buy an ounce and put it in your mason jar. Looks like diddly squat! :D

Doc, i know that common sense would say hug the compliment close, but in reality, the whole thing was unintentional. It was busy scrogging and one day i looked in the veg tent and realised that if i straightened the net pot the canopy would be well past 45 degrees :D I do try, but then i get stned and well, right now i'm watching big shrimpin! :D texans have funny funny accents, fuck it, texans are funny plain and simple :D If i get a pound i will have a smile the size of a medium sized umbrella.

My plant was vegged under a 125w cfl, you should indeed get a great yield :)

Mine still has roughly 4 weeks to go pukka.

I got 5 1/2 oz of Cheese under a 250w in a DR60 and I didn't even scrog it. It was just a mother plant I put into flower.

1 plant under a 600w and a larger tent should get you plenty. Looking at a long veg time though. A couple of months at least.

ive got a walk in cupbooard mate 8ftx4ftx ceiling height its own light and power sockets already painted white and extractor in ceiling in the attick above is a panel of grow tent folded in half to stop the heat escaping
would a 250 hps use more than a 250 cfl? i just wanna try save as much on lekki on veg coz thats the killer i mean a 250 all the way thru wouldnt be as good?
 
I remember reading a thread a bit abck, i can't recall the specifics, but it was something long the lines of a 250w uses 170w of power or some such or other, i just recall that the claimed wattage of the bulb was not the same as the actual power consumption.

Here's a random gogoel result that kind of agrees that they use less than rated, seemingly based on their amp rating http://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?2078-Envirolite-power-consumption

No scientific background to explain it myself, just laying it out as i read it :)

I don't know if I'm honest. Never looked into the whole comparison thing between cfl and mh or hps.

I'd just go with the 250 hps. It's only a 250.
 
There's virtually no diference between a 250 HPS and a 250 CFL, in terms of consumption. (the HPS ballast tends to suck a few more watts, but not enough to make a difference to costs).

Go with the HPS. You get much more light for your money.
