Thanks bro. They are CFL eco lights. 300w each so 600w dual spectrum in total. Powerplant dual light reflector too. Runs at 22-24c so it's perfect for that 1m2 room.

Awesome stuff bro they look like beasts how much were they and what brand? I just recently brought a 130w grow lush CFL which is working great

The CFL's are omega horticultural grade lights. The reflector is maxi bright (not Powerplant duh!)

All in it costhe $75 for the reflector and $65 for the CFL's.

The plants seem to love it. They've exploded into life

Cool stuff, I just searched them up and they look great! Thats a good price to. Have you noticed much heat with the high watt CFL's? I was a bit surprised with the heat from my 130w CFl but its not that bad to be honest.

It's nothing that my bog standard filter and fan can't cope with. Running at around 26 -27c plant level and 25-26 ambient level. On a hot day it can get a bit warmer so I've just ordered a new fan and filter with a higher m2 capability so on hot days I can turn it up and remove more air. Without extracting it gets up to 29-32c so they do create heat.

I should mention that both rooms are sharing a fan so I'll update you when they get one each.

Ok, fitted my second fan today and i have stable canopy temps of 26c in both rooms and RH of 60% +-

changed the nutes from veg to bloom on my flowering clones 2 weeks too early so they displayed symptoms of phosphorous def and realized my PH is out so i gotta adjust that tomorrow...other than that all is going well lol

note the uneven growth on my Lemon ice plant....i wasn't rotating the pots as i thought the coverage of light was even... will be rotating from now on!!
