Hi mate, yeah I use those tubes only to warm around the pots. They do give me a couple of extra degrees when using the leds. Other than that the heating is down to the eco and the blow heater, that does the trick during lights off. I'm ocd inside the groom, you should see the mess and shit out side lol.

I always forget how bright those COBs go. Been thinking about wearing sunscreen tbh 😉

I won't be playing with my knob when I add the other lights lol.

When I add the other lights they will be directed over each plant. I'll have 1 x 250w QB over 2 Cindy's and the prakasa and the Migro each over of the gorillas.

I can have the migro dimmed down at the right height but the prakasa and QB will have to be raised for a while.😉

Next time I'll grow in a mug inside a bigger mug without the groom if you need a handicap😉

I run a very similar system but without the raised wood work. Drainage is not an issue due to the SuperRoot Air pots I use, and I have my run to waste system that collects all run off and is pumped out an hour after feeding. Simply a large 100 x 100 x 15 drip tray that is sat at a slight tilt, this collects all runoff in one corner and makes things easy. Like things tidy and just right in the groom too.

Wish I could have more space, and grow full on. That would be my idea of heaven. Funny thing is I don't even smoke anymore. Just enjoy the growing.
