5tealthman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thinking of getting the stealth pm back on the go again with a few mods. At the moment it's running a 125w cfl but it takes up an awful lot of space. I'm I better sticking with it or moving over to leds? I know making my own system is probably easier given the space it has to go in so if led's are a better choice what bulbs should I be looking at and how many?

uBercaMeL Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi. Not sure what 'pm' is, but I would get a smaller hps over leds. Run a little 250w vert if you are very limited for space. I've run a 400w (usually dimmed to 300w) in a 75x75x1m tent a few times with ok results.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tealthman Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Apologies, I meant pc (bloody autocorrect) hps is totally out of the question I'm afraid. I could get one to fit but I would need some monumental cooling and it would most likely scorch the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uBercaMeL Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ah, yeah fair enough in a pc mate . If you can get a 125 cfl in there without trouble you can get a 125w hps in there too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tealthman Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Bit of hassle cooling it though. Just sticking with 125 cfl I think. Just got to replace the carbon in the filter and then make an adjustable light bracket. Learnt from my mistakes last time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uBercaMeL Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You're probably right, my 1 and only attempt at growing in a pc was 2 x 18 or 24w cfl's with a single bag-seedling in a see-through cup the seedling sprouted and grew the first few sets of leaves under the soil up against the side of the cup and I thought it had failed for the first week or more, and it got hot enough in there despite me running a few decent little fans... Then the landlord (housemates' mum's boyfriend) came in unannounced and spotted a light in a cupboard and that was that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
