    They will grow a plant :) it's not so much that blue and red wont grow a plant it's that they don't have much power at all so wont have much spread or penetration and they'll grow up stringy, I almost brought some ages ago, kinda glad I saved up :) I moved out of the shed area a few grows back...

    no it wont speed up the process... the only sure fire way to do that is by going some sort of hydro, that usually shaves a week or so off of a grow and that's about it... you could also do the crazy ass light schedule I used for my last grow (didn't make a journal unfortunately) but it shaved...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    They take up about the same footprint as a HPS with a reflector but are thinner so can be hung higher if needed. I don't know about dollars I live off of the good ol' Pound £... but my current setup costs me £1.50 a day in flower mode and about £0.50 a day in veg mode (no 250w or big fan...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    a lot cooler than my 250w HPS I'll say and with a LOT less extraction so the same temps but using less electricity/cooling equipment! but yeah they put out heat but not half as much as HPS or CFL's, they should also save me some monies on the old electric meter! (quite a lot hopefully lol) The...

    pc/ultimate scrog grow yield!

    lower leaves do tend to die off as the plant matures, even some 5 bladed ones might start going if they aren't getting enough light too, they are very clever at knowing what leaves to keep and loose :) Keep an eye out for gnats if you think that's the problem, but don't panic and spray gnat...

    That's why I only get fem seeds lol :) saves wasted time XD once you have a chunky exhaust you shouldn't need an intake, just a hole in the bottom left, air will naturally be drawn through! And you want the exhaust top right 'cause heat rises :D

    Well so far so good! sent them an email because paypal messed up a bit and I had 2 orders, 10 out of 10 for customer service, after hours I already heard back in like 10 mins saying yep we've cancelled the second one and the order will be with you by Wednesday! that's with FREE 2-5 day delivery...

    pc/ultimate scrog grow yield!

    nah you want actual watts :) 168 is good! If you can keep the temps good then leave a daylight and the flowering ones, mixed spectrum throughout is good! Where are you, America, Europe? but most hydroponic stores pretty much anywhere have them (and most deliver), just don't be paranoid about...

    pc/ultimate scrog grow yield!

    well I managed 3 oz with 250w of CFL soooo :) Good job on getting your cab pretty much the perfect size, you will want a cool tube especially with a 400w and a 5 inch RUCK (or similar brand) extractor. The cool tube allows plants to grow up to and touch the light, well the glass around the...

    Will do! I'm rocking a 250w HPS in a tiny space with perfect temps (and a LOT of cooling), so the LED will really be good, I've done grows with a 90w UFO and had great results :) I'm swapping out my 4" inline fan (that's hella loud) with a stupid CFM silent running muffin fan too XD

    You and your VIPAR's :D Thanks for all the advice earlier... well months earlier but hey. Finally managed to get my shit together and do this thing! dropped £330 on a nice 270w LED from a new'ish UK company called GrowNorthern, their modular units just look immense and have adjustable optics...

    Gah why is Rollitup so damn slow of late... couldn't quite load up big versions of your pics just yet, but from the little ones they're looking really good! they're about the same height as when I used to flip, averaged about 2-3oz a plant. It wont be impossible to train in that box just...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    its hung by bungee in the centre of my little extraction corner, it's not so much the fan that makes the noise its the airflow 'whooshing' because it's basically attached within say 20cm straight to the cool tube so even though I have acoustic ducting (which quiets it a bit) it's not long enough...

    pc/ultimate scrog grow yield!

    Lol :) though I've just splashed out on a shiny new LED light at 270w to replace my 250 HPS... Just because for my grow style I think LED's will yield more than my HPS Distilled, purified, tap its all the same to me, I use 7.6 ph tap water in hydro and my plants love it, despite 'everyone'...
