Looks nice, dude. Glad to see we're both chugging along towards a happy harvest.

I ordered a 600w open reflector hps for flowering from ebay for $90. It has a dimmable digital ballast I hope it works out for my area. This is the one I got, is it a good ballast? I hope the ballast is fanless so it stays quieter.

Update 1/5 trying new methods of taking photos

Holy shit dude they will fry with the ventilation your using you will need a strong 6 inch inline fan for that light.

I will try it and if that happens I will just go right back to cfls. I got a new macro cell phone camera attachment and it's working pretty well so far I will update tonight with some pictures

Cool. Just be careful mate keep a close eye when u try it. It will fry them without good ventilation. How's the flowering coming along.

It is real entertaining that's for sure. And I will definitely monitor it closely. I live with my op so that is no problem. These are from the last couple of days

Update 1/9 week 5 day 5, 500w cfl

Looking good, look forward to comparing our yields.

Me too, mainly because I'm anxious for both of us to have dried and curing buds! Really excited to roll up some home grown for the first time.

We are well on our way fellas, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel lol

Update 1/11 it's getting some nice trichomes and swollen calyxes!

Update 1/13 trichome shots

Still clear as hell. Easily another few weeks this bit seems to drag doesn't it. I'm checking mine everyday taking for ever grrrr lol

Update 1/15

What is the temp running at now from when you started? Did you order a new exhaust system with the fan? Running that type of light will heat up the tent even more?

With my current setup, I have a 20" box fan exhaust and for intake I have a 10" box fan. It creates a lot of negative pressure (not a bad thing) and my temps stay consistently around 80 and never higher than 82 farenheight. I'm using 500w of assorted CFLs.
