, This lights on at night shit gotta go
I should be down there with my babies!!!! The thread is slow as fukk too. No good pix. It's jammed in down there, and the last thing I want to do is pull everything apart at 2am to have to put it back. I am usually not in the mood to try to race 'lights off' by fukking around in the morning either. Hopefully I'll be able to run em during the day at least from May till ~July1. I may have to go back to night lights then, but by then I'd like to have an 800w flip flop going on. Then I could ALWAYS go fukk with plants!! 
The plan is to run this seedplant sog and another that is haze clones. Then build 2 separate ~3 x 8 rooms and run ~10 nice sized plants (of similar growth patterns) in each under 2 x 400w CMH on a mover. I am tempting fate as it is with these 2 old ballasts. I have my 3 nice S51 mag ballasts that run cool and quiet, and I have an old MH thatruns ok (custom built in an unvented aluminum box, 3+ yrs of work on it, ~15 years old) and an S51 HPS (same story as the MH) that gets HOT. And starts LOUD. Fires the bulb every time, and they burn like the other hps', but I don't like the heat and noise levels from a 4amp appliance, lol.
I need to get (4)hoods (2)movers, (4+1 for veg)CMH bulbs, another 6" vortex, and an 8" and EVEN BIGGER filter (caps added for effect, cause I have a big filter now). I figgure if the one I have now did such a good job, and I wanna go a lil stinkier, I should go up a size. If I have to, I can scrub 2x's... Then I need construction shit, the stuff to build the relays, and access to the Depot. Prolly ~1500-2g's in total outlay (and the ability to go get the stuff). BUT I will have a production cab that will easily take care of all my bills, and another cab to fukk around in. Plus I can go see plants 24 hrs a day (and the only switching on and off will be the veg 400watter)
I MAY make one of the cabs ~4 'waterfarm type' bukkits...
