    Are gonna be cool sun 600W SHP. I called discount hydro in riverside,Asked about a price on a set of three. I got a quote of 1,139.00 and was told to talk to Dwight for a discount on the three of them. He was with another customer, and im just window shopping so figure i'll call back later.
    From the sounds of it i think I'll be able to get all three of them for 1,000.00 even. I'll upgrade bulbs after the first grow, so I'll have decent spares.I'll pick em up on a trip down south, so there will be no shipping charges accrued.Im gonna go ahead with a dayton for intake, but im gonna run one hell of a can fan for exhaust.Actually im planning on running a 10 or 12 inch can, and split it into two lines, one side will cool the hoods constantly, and the other will be on an electric damper to control the atmosphere exhaust.I figure i'll have about ten ozers to invest with, in a few weeks.Im gonna plan for co2.Only in the budroom though.

    I'll use the 430 watt and my halide in the veg chamber, with the flourex's for cloning and sidelights. Not sure if i'll use the spotlight,I may let a buddy use the spot in his closet.

    605w hid combo (430 shp+175 w halide) and 1,000 watts of flourex for veg. 1800Watts shp for budding, im gonna rent a 2-3 bedroom house to do it in too.Hopefully before christmas. I have 7 different moms to use now. I'll be able to fill it up with cuttings sooner than i can get it built.I also have a few patients that may be interested in having their reccomendations filled here. That should make it simple, and i'll be more than fair.
    Im gonna do some hits and trip on some fans, but yeah i think a grand for three cool suns is do-able.

    Yeah that's a good price huh mean?
    I cannot resist the wind tunnel factor in the cool sun design. Or the 1800 grams (or more) every 2 months or so. Now that im seeing my grow do as well, or nearly as well, as other grows on the site. I think things are gonna turn right around soon. I remember looking at my plants and thinking they should be doing much better, before the ventillation was complete. Now with 580 watts, and 154 cfm both for intake and outake,it's a whole new ballgame. I got my list for the new setup> about $ 2,000 with out co2 ,another 1,000 will get me a brand new generator with a fuzzy logic CO-2 controller.Anything that uses propane I think should be purchased brand new, and cool suns are far and few between on e-bay.I think i'll probly get everything from discount, and see what kinda discount i can get for spending two or three grand.

    Mr soul,
    A lot depends on how much this wave averages,But I hope to get this going somewhere around oct-dec.If i can get a three ounce average from this current wave i'll be in there real soon.
    And im workin again tomorrow so that'll help.
    Gotta buy me a little army of predator mites on payday.Maybe some marine cuisine. I just used the last of what i had.Maybe i'll just get some foxfarm growbig for now, for the kelp in it.

    here come the screaming kittens, im outta here L.O.L.

    That would be a great price if bulbs are included and recommend you get the solarmax bulbs.

    Actually I am running a 430 eye hortilux, and it works beautifully.

    I do want to try them all out, but will probly get whichever are cheapest at first.
    I plan to upgrade the stock bulbs to solarmax after the first run (8 weeks later).

    Shit i gotta slam another cup of coffee down and get to work- these kittens are eating and drinking from the bowl now, but still have this nasty habit of climbing my legs and crawling into my lap screaming in a huge pile.
    AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH...

    Life is good ,i get to work today.

    Looks like command central to me mean,man.

    Man im so ripped- the kittens are all eating and drinking except the runt, she was sick last night, think it may be "bottle loss trauma syndrome" or some shit- I got her on the bottle a couple more days, and we will try to get her to eat on hher own again.
    But for now the squalling mass is sleeping and for once i just had to pour milk in a bowl ,and feed one with the bottle. I think there's gonna be some clear sailing ahead mateys.. Ay b'gar and all that good shit.

    I think another celabratory bong session is in order, man I love how weed get's you more ripped when you been out working and not smoking ,in the sunshine on the roof .

    I just did three bongs of humbolt, after a bowl of humbolt about an hour after.

    And i am so friggin ripped, and it's still just beginning to creep. Hell this seems like it could be a 6 week strain. But i better give em 8 just in case.
    The sample from the nute deficient one was pretty tasty, and is very stony.
    Shit they still gotta month to go . more actually, it is day 25 12/12
    My new humbolt mom is already able to produce clones, but I really dont need any because i have to keep within the numbers. I already have three rooting for the next wave, and a few other goodies.
    Im so ripped i cant even think of what to say, I gonna get offline and enjoy the ride.

    I got my quote back from greentrees hydro, not bad actually.

    He said if i bring cash i'll get 5% off from their price ( Fairly competitive at 344.95 for a 600w hps cool sun.)

    So with the stock bulbs under 1,000, but if i want to use hortilux for all three coolsuns i can get the package for around 1,100.
    Just one Macdaddys Quarter pounder of extras should do the trick. This could happen. Now anything is possible.

    Yeah buddy..

    Im thinking an 6" elicent fan to pull and a dayton 265 to push. Might use an electric damper to pull from the ceiling when the tempstat triggers it open.


    In these badlands i live in im gonna have to aircool my lights. It is 102 out here today. Don't this place realise summer is over.My breakers have been giving me hell today, we finally gave up on ac and threw the windows open.

    I dont think i'll have any problems with hermies, i throw the closet open every time the power goes off. They get indirect window light during breaker fun time.
    Then the lights are shut off before my power is restored.Then i can mess with the breaker. After the bulb is cool i turn on the lights, but the fans run with the breakers.

    Hey i just thought about it, in a couple months i'll be able to do product test reviews on cool new products. Like those 70 dollar replacement electronic ballasts. Wave of the future kinda things.
    The medusa light is definetly not going to be invegtigated. L.O.L. Snicker snicker
    an Electronic ballast for 70 bucks is a top prority however.
