I want to put them in a dresser.I only need the plants half a foot to a foot high plus a few mothers that will b 2 feet tall.This would b easyer for me to vent as there would b no heat.Just wanna know if u ppl think this flo will keep the nodes close together as a 400MH or just as good.

that is a great place to get your bulbs ballast and such, but I would not buy that light, it is much cheaper to build your own... and it is very easy

If heat is an issue, you want to stay away from VHO bulbs as they put off 2-3 times the heat... it is noticeable even with floros... they wont be smoking hot like a MH/HPS but they can put off enough heat to warm a closet to 80f

If you can tell me the size area your wanting to cover(I assume your wanting to cover a set square footage) and I can show you what products you can use to get better performance at a much cheaper price than they light you posted a link to

Well thats the thing im not sure what im going to do yet.I think them flo's would b good in a 6 drawer dresser.I was going to buy a 400 mh but i would have to build another stealth armiore.I was think the dresser would b easyer to deal with.

Ono Nadagin · 03-15-2004, 01:12 AM

Are you doing this for a veg area or for veg/flower?

You can flower with floro if you wish but it requires good bulbs and cabinet design

Floro is far superior for veg for the personal stash grower.... you get tight internode spacing since you can get the lighs so close to the plants..... and you dont really need a monster mother plant so floros work great.... esp if you go with good bulbs

420Joe · 03-15-2004, 01:36 AM

cool ya im doing it for veg.I have a 400 hps well 2 of them.So ill have like 2 armoires already and i was hoping i wouldnt need another.

I would make it yourself for sure. That light is way over-priced. I made one with 8 4ft. flouros and it cost me about $35-40 with all 8 bulbs and the wood to mount it on. You might also want to think about compact flouros. I seen some for real cheap on e-bay. $15 for a 95wt. bulb. A few of those would do a perfect job for vegging. From my experience, the compact flouros grow even more compact and bushy plants than the tubes do. With the tubes, the best light output is in the middle, so the plants on the end never do quite as good for me, unless I continually rotate them which is what I usually do. I don't have that problem when I use the compact flouros.

Either way, I wouldn't buy that light. You could buy a 1000wt. HID for that price. Or you could buy 4-600wts. worth of flouros and your vent fans or some other grow equip. That light you were looking at was $255 for just the fixture. You'd still have to buy all the bulbs. Anyway, just my opinion.

My .0002 worth.

I have some crate/cabs & receintly removed an HPS(400W) from my mother cab & am now back using several 42W spiral CF's.

I am pushin' the fixture called Vanity Fixture (generic).
You can find these any where, HD-Lowes, really anywhere they sell building electrical fixtures.

These things come in various lengths & #'s of sockets.

Very cool rasputen. How much do those cost? Can you get higher watt bulbs to run in there too? Any info would be great.

Thanks,
