150w Equivalent Club
- Thread starter grouchy

Well if the light is in the center and the screen is circular, just look to the left or right of the light and you'll see the distance between the screen and light. Just by eyeing it
, your probably looking at around 3 inches (+/- .25") between the light and screen. If I guess right, do I get to keep it?
lol Bring on the jar of MnMs!

DiscoBiscuit - I think I am going to stick with the circle screen for the first run. I am shooting for one ounce but will gladly take more.
Have you ever seen a ngb cab run backwards? After my current grow is finished I am going to use the flower room in my ngb cab to run four autoflowers and a g13 gigabud mother under 18/6 lighting. The best 3-4 of the first 6 clones from the gigabud mother will go for my 150w equivalent contest entry in the mother room.
While that is flowering I will be running the autos under my 100w cmh in the flower room. Once I get my 42w grow done I will move the mother back into the mother room and try to setup another vertical scrog grow in the flower room with the 100w cmh and a 42w cfl in the cool tube. I will be competing in the 1 sq ft challenge with that run but I won't be able to start it till early next year.
You are dead on. I was going for 3" on each side. I plan on growing up the screen and letting the buds go inside of it. As far as keeping it....no....but you can make your own and try to show me up if you want

Might as well edit the rest of your comments out if you want to be rude about it.
Show you up huh... yeah I don't see that happening any time soon. lol But I will pull up a chair and take notes. I figured it to be between 3-4" cause of the 1 inch squares on your screen.
I do have a question, with that plug-in light socket, how well does it stay plugged in vertically or do you have it secured so it doesn't fall out?

It stays in pretty well. You can always run a ziptie around it and the power strip if you feel safer doing so. I am actually changing the setup in my area a little. I just figured out to run the 42w cfl with a remote ballast and I am going to play around with it a little. I think I am going to move the ballast out of the grow room and mount a pc fan where the ballast was.

Did it say 150w Eq. on the box? Even if you can't partake in the challenge post up some pics to let people see what you got. You could also get a bulb that qualifies for cheap and then you could enter.

Yeah, I just have this 68w and I wanted to use it for something, seemed fun. I might try it anyways.
