Damn its been too long since the last update My Gold Glue is starting to throw some great colours 7 weeks in Strawberry Nuggets Week 4 is here and she's finally showing pistils! Took off a couple leaves and started training her wide, also upped the nutrients this week, Gorilla Glue, 5 weeks in. She stunted badly as she started flowering and didn't stretch at all which was disappointing as i was hoping she'd be the biggest girl

To mitigate the heat issue you could always go the LED route? Yes they are probably more expensive, but you will save on allot of the heavier environmental control equipment...

Cooltubes suck , stay away from those light traps . Get a cooled hood or go open bulb

Hey Z, 1) Yes in my opinion it will be sufficient for the space. The lumii ballast is working well for me, although i haven't had it long. 2) Check out the cooltube, with ducting and an exhaust fan it really does a fantastic job at controlling the heat. It is far superior to any open bulb type fixture in terms of heat regulation. 3) I would steer clear of dual spectrum bulbs, rather get a specific MH/HPS bulb and change them accordingly. 4) Even just as a hobby, it get's pretty pricey to put together a proper grow setup. Other considerations would be humidity/air movement (oscillating fans), intake fans etc.

Plants are loving life there Pat!

What I can do for people since there seems to be a lot of interest from people out of town is send bags , postage would have to be paid unfortunately. Getting a quote from my courier company at a price to send , will be around R75. Or if you order something from growguru they can add a bag in

Looking good Patt!
