ItsGrowTime - the bubbas are abount 3ft tall and the heavy duty friutys are about 2.5 ft tall .. they were both vegged for about a month .. the bubbas i had them in a 2x4 tray with 3 shop lights over it for about 2-3 weeks and then i moved them into the buckets for another 2weeks of veg.. the hdf came from my buddy s easy cloner .. they had nice roots when i put them iinto the buckets those had also been vegged for about 2-3 weeks in the easy cloner and then 2 more weeks in the buckets..
SuperLarry - honestly I dont know what kind of bulbs are in there .. I know they arent eye hortilux (i shoulda got those) when i went to the grow store they said "these bulbs have the highest lumen output" so i said OK gimme those .. but i shoulda went with the eye hortilux .. the ballasts are a mixture of Sun system and those gro pro dual 600's .. 4 gro pro's and 7 reg 600 watt ballast.. this bucket system only lets you do 48 on one controller so that is why im doing 48 .. plus i dont have the room for any more altho i do have like 20-30 more lights in storage.

Wow, they really grew since the last time I checked in. Really can't wait to see that final product! Can you approximate how much the whole setup cost? Have you ever considered CMH lights to reduce power and save energy? If those 20-30 lights you have in storage are, getting in your way, I would be happy to take a couple off your hands...haha.

this setup costs umm i got no clue ...... got too much invested in equiptment .. CMH light s = What ??? im drunk and i got no clue what cmh means ..... welll those gro pro ballasts cost me 293 for each ballast .. so $293 x 4 + the hoods + bulbs.. that takes care of 8 hoods the others were regular cost for a 600 ballast .. i actually got these ballasts from a fucked up partnership .. so be careful from bitchass partners cuz u might come across a person like me who doesnt lose .. i got 6 reg 600 ballasts from a fucked up partnership so those might be discounted .. however u wanna look at it .. but over all id say like 10k you could duplicate this room.

where you at now in flower? I would like to see the final #'s for the room. I wasnt even paying attention but you are running 9KW, same as me. I would like to see if one system has more potential then the other. Yes I know there are tons of other variables as well.
