Thanks Mm. I shoulda have tried that. Luckily my buddy owns the headshop so he swapped the 1000 bulbs and ballast for 600. For the price difference he threw in some Hog's Breath seeds. First time germinating coming up!!!
I still have the fire safety concern though. Will this lamp create enough heat on the reflector that the reflector will melt my poly? It's only 6"-ish from the edges.
Thanks guys. Both responses helped. I will look into the CO2 because I suspect I will be running hot. Also I picked up a slick thermometer today that has max/min and humidity. It's also wireless so I have the display on my coffee table so I can keep an eye on it without opening the tent.
Just want to say that I've been reading a lot of posts and people here seem to have a good handle on things.
Im in the middle of building a stealth grow under the stairs in my basement. I went to a buddy who owns a smoke shop for advice and he set me up with:
1x1000 veg lite
1x1000 flower...
