    I built the stand and canopy and had my buddy help me wire up my retro-fit lighting. I have 3 x 250w metal halide 14,000k and 2 Actinic White 72" 160 VHO for a total of 1070 watts....Super pumped to get this thing rolling....Also I painted the back of my 150 black with about 6-7 cans of flat black spray paint!! here are the pics so far let me know what you think

    P.S. I still have to face my stand I will have pics of that up as soon as I get that done hopefully this weekend
