just a tip on A/C usage...many people will turn their air conditioners on when they come home, or only when it's miserably hot. then they turn them back off, and repeat the cycle. these people probably don't fully understand how A/C works. remeber, you're not putting in cold...you're removing heat and humidity via the liquid and physical reaction of the system...so keeping that in mind...if you turn off your air(thinking, "i'm not home,i don't need it on")what happens is, all of your furniture,carpet,pillows,clothing, everything begins to absorb moisture and humidity along with heat. now when you turn it "ON" it runs constantly, just to try and get near what you want it to feel like. My Advice is...it's far more economical to leave your air conditioner on 24/7 and adjust the temperature! hope it helps.

oh i totally agree im just glad in ended up saving 200 bucks lol. nice to know you scored once in a while.
Which model. The 240w. I wonder if it is a third generation. Check Amazo_.com for comparison they fulfill orders as a third party merchant.

I too was worried about surrounding light. How i fixed that problem is by flanking the outskirts of my grow area with simple florescent tubes(double tube fixtures.) Its working great getting lots of new cola growth at the end of week 5. Its starting to look like some of my girls might get 3/4 oz per plant if they keep the rate of growth up.
Mjollnir (where is that special character for your screen name). Question: Are you using the tubes along with a BlackStar or other LED. Any photos. Thanks.

Hello Alan, firstly hold down your alt key and type 0248 to make the ø in my name
Secondly I just took some pictures of my grow. I have 4 and 5 week growth. I use 2 250watt CFL's one 2700K and one 6500K. I am using 6500K tubes to flank the front and back of my grow. The white paint seems to reflect the light well. Here are the pictures. http://s1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj495/Mjollnir84/4%20and%205%20week%20growth/

i lived in south florida until i graduated highschool, and i agree its unbearably hot!! btw i also agree with muddy on getting the 240W blackstar as apposed to the 180 mine only draws about 110, but its barely warm, and for one plant should be sufficient at the moment, but definitly get another when you start upgrading, or maybe look into the badboy fluorescent light fixtures, ive read seen quite a few journals with people having great results, but i dont know how the temperature runs on them.. good luck and godspeed bro!!
