Ok here a restart of a new grow I am going to redo.
Here the potting soiling I am going to use in pix 1 and not going to use any type of MG this time and got a order of FF coming..

Redesign Flower box that is 4x4x7 hieght with a angle to the cielling and I am using a 400 watt MH conversion bulb for my HPS system.
As u can see I have a water cooler there in the back that half of the air blowing into the flower box,, it not the best way to kool the room but it will help during the day when the lights r off and I run my lights at night because it alot Kooler..

I am ready to start a new grow as u can see the Buckets filled with Soil and I going pop 5 Afhgan seeds into a cloth and put into a zipp loc baggie this morning and put on top of freezer and watch them Sprout. Got some seeds off my Short plant that I grew last and that was stoney..

My veggie box I builded and never used it, so it in the plan to be used with next grow and next order of seeds..
Pix 2 is my set-up with speakers for some Rock-in-roll.

Pix 3
lights was from my last few grows and had cut the board down and use 6 outlets for cfls.

Pix 4 is the inlet for fresh air and koolness

Pix 5 pulls air out and it always on low speed and yes it a sqaurrel cage..

Pix 6 this is how the air is moved into Veggie room from the flower room and I am thinking it not big enough but have to wait and see..

that is sweet setup not really half-butt job but good job! sweet!
400 is perfect I would recommend climate control or A/C to keep plants cool from the heat of 400 hps, you do not want it burn, we has 600 hps, and it was hot in the setup, that was bad experience hmmm a/c does helps
 
box that is 4x4x7 hieght with a angle to the cielling and I am using a 400 watt MH
hmmm....
16 sq ft..
approx. 45000 lumen...
"less" than 2500 lumens per sq ft... ?
..3000 is "minimum" recommended and 5000 is considered optimal.
 
hey flyinghigh..yeah we want another 400 in there if you can. everything sounds good..thanks for the pics..oh and how was the camping trip?..hope you enjoyed yourself..KEEP M GREEN

Ok here is 11 days of growing and there looking fine and growing fast.
I am trying to get a drip system in there so I can take off for a few days and don't have to worry if there getting watered, I am also thinking of useing 2 litter bottle because it hold more and I don't want to buy any drip system right now. I thought about taking 2 - 5 gal buckets and running hoses off of that into each plant that have a good drip systems but will have to wait til I can get to the hardawre store to fine what I am looking for..
2 Pix is the only Afhgan plant I got. I had more but they died due to grand kids adding lawn fert to the water when they played outside and that won't happen again it all put up...
