Hey guys, thanks for the kind words I hope this CFL does good. I was set on getting a HPS lamp but because I have such a small space and I couldn't find a conversion bulb for the 250w so I decided I'll give this a try. So far I'm glad I went with this bulb, my temperature and humidity seem to be sitting at good levels, I'm maintaining 74 degrees with 45% humidity, do those numbers sound close? I've read lots of different numbers these seem to fall in there. When the light is off the humidity drops slightly and the temp goes down to 65 degrees, hopefully that won't slow growth too much. The fan runs 95% of the time to keep that temp so that should be enough fresh air. There must be lots of air movement in the cabinet, when I close the door it tries to suck the mylar off the door.

backfromthedead - I posted a pic of the lamp with the other pics, I think its a nice looking bulb. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of it.

doob3r - The odorsok seems to be doing its job for the smell of silicon. My first time with the silicon I didn't have the fan going and it stunk my suit up bad, one friend told me he could smell it in the hallway and thought I was painting. When I put the final seal of silicon on I put the fan on and it seem to help a lot. When I was in the box doing it I could hardly breath, as soon as I was finished I closed it up and I couldn't smell any coming out of the fan. When I put my nose down to the intake holes I could smell it. 45minutes or so later I opened it up and could hardly smell it, it was also quite dry, much drier then the first time around. At this point I'm feeling confident about it.

And here's my baby today, its been in the mud for 5 days now, geeezzz this is taking longer then I expected, I thought I would have my first crop in the bins by now. lol
