Turn that thing off,go outside and look at your electric supply and see how slow it is going. Now go back inside and plug that fucker in and go back outside and look again and tell me what ya think about the power it consumes!!

merciful crap, those things cost many hundred dollars. In my entire life I've been given naught but one gift that was anywhere near that price.
Your friend is a very nice person.

he believes in what I do
when people come over and watch you work It excites them so much more then to look at pictures...
yesterday I placed 5 perskop cuttings, and 2 grafts (a motherplant graft, and a baby graft)
I'm curious as to what kind of growth i'll see from the unit.
if it's great enough, I will be selling off my 1000W Mh unit and getting another.

Wow, I remember seeing those advertized in High Times magazine years back. I was wondering, how tall is it? ..And can you flower your plant inside, or is it only to be used for vegetative growth? I never assumed that they were large enough to contain a full grown plant.. Maybe a cutting.

frap, in the smaller units you could house a huge fat bushy plant.... the taller ones a tree.. if you will.
The units are idealy made to hold a hydroponic setup ((DWC)) in an all in one unit. They don't put out much heat, and they have one hell of a bright fixture setup.
The sliding sides have a 2-way mirrored film... alowing for super light coverage inside, and total darkness in the off light hours.
As far as looks, and idea.... thay take up little space... and utilize all the space they take.
we'll see if the unit makes me proud.

you could build your own out of wood and wire it yourself probroby be cheaper and if you know what your doing it would end up looking better I think it would be cool to have it hanging from a stand liek one of those old fashioned birdcages, and like have a few holes so light can escape(make sure theres some way to plug them up of course tho) give it a nice lamp shade and its a functial lamp for the room. yup i might just have to so that some time.
