well smokey hows it goin?. you should probably wrap cling-film around the fan to stop any stuff getting inside it. do you use a fan speed controller?, i have one myself it makes a serious difference to my fan!. im using a 400 watt hps.

well you have to split it in two dave the 4 6500k for veg were 40 euro, the big 2700k for flower were 20 euro each but the lumens are through the roof;)

so the lumens are 4715 each bulb thats just the 2700k ones don`t know what the daylight are putting out..

total so far 18860 riseing to 28290 when my other two bulbs arrive.... so how many lumens does a 400w or 600w put out?

A 400 puts out about 50k and a 600 is about 90k. HID's lose less light over distance though, so they can penetrate better.

Here she is, really opened up the canopy.The tops are within 3" of the reflector now and temps are 31-31* there, versus 24* a bit lower down. I'm going to have to do some serious tying down tomorrow to get this under control.

Haha, yeah I had an OG kush, but I chopped it down as it was just a shit plant, hadn't grown in a few days and was way behind this plant. Oh well, thats what happens when you try out a brand new untested strain.

have no speed controller dave,probably goin to be my next investment and might try make up a muffler, put fan in the box there a while ago.id say its about 40-50% quieter than what it was in the start, its the air moving now that i can hear,still have to run it through the air cooled reflector if it ever comes so that might take another bit out of it,

how big is the fan smokey? could you fit it in a sturdy box and pack the box with an old blanket of cushion or something?
